Customers (Customers) Export Field Mapping Definition

The Customers (Customers) export workflow includes one mapping group:

Customer Mapping Group

Use the Customer mapping group to map information on information on customer records in OpenAir with customer records in NetSuite. The mapping group supports filters.

For reference information and best practice guidelines, review the following topics:

  • References — Overview of record types in OpenAir and NetSuite with links to the relevant reference material for information about fields available for mapping.

  • Default and Custom Filters — Overview of default filters and how to modify the default behavior, and custom filters. Custom filters are supported for this mapping group.

  • Default Field Mappings — Overview of default field mapping definitions including notes and best practice guidelines where relevant. Information exported by default includes company name, address and currency. Filters and pullbacks are supported.

  • Additional Field Mappings — There are no specific guidelines for custom field mapping definitions in this mapping group. The mapping group does not support custom pullback field mappings, retrieving information from the record created in NetSuite back into OpenAir.

References

The following table gives reference information about the records and fields available for custom field mapping definition with links to the relevant reference material. See also Schema Reference Documentation.

NetSuite Record type [SOAP object]

OpenAir Record Type [table]

Mapping Group [Integration point]

Customer [Customer]

Schema: Customer (2020.1)|Customer (2023.1)

XSD: listRel (2020.1)|listRel (2023.1)

Customer [customer]

Customer [OA_CUSTOMER_TO_NS_CUSTOMER]

Note:

The Customer SOAP object is used for customer, lead, and prospect records. This is determined by the property Customer.entityStatus with the value customer, lead, or prospect.

Default and Custom Filters

By default, customer records are exported from OpenAir to NetSuite if the following conditions are met:

  • The Active box is checked on the customer record in OpenAir.

  • The customer record was not already exported — Customer.exported is empty.

  • The NetSuite Customer ID [netsuite_customer_id] custom field is empty OR the Allow objects with a NetSuite ID to be exported during integration run box is checked on the OpenAir NetSuite Connector administration form. See Allow objects with a NetSuite ID to be exported during integration run.

Custom filters are supported for this mapping group. For more information about adding filter conditions, see Using Filters and Filter Definition.
