Update NetSuite Projects with OpenAir Project Data Field Mapping Definition
The Update NetSuite Projects with OpenAir Project Data export workflow includes one mapping group:
-
Update Project [Integration point:
UPDATE_PROJECT_TO_JOB
] — See Update Project Mapping Group.
Update Project Mapping Group
Use the Update Project mapping group to map information on the project record in OpenAir with information on the project record 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 Mapping — There are no default field mapping definitions for this mapping group.
-
Additional Field Mapping — There are no specific best practice guidelines for custom field mapping definitions. The mapping group does not support custom pullback field mappings, retrieving information from the record created in NetSuite back into OpenAir.

Default and Custom Filters
By default, updated project information is exported from OpenAir to NetSuite if the following conditions are met:
-
Matching project records exists in OpenAir and NetSuite.
-
The Allow projects in this project stage to be updated in NetSuite [
netsuite_push_project_stage_filter
] box is checked on the project stage record associated with the OpenAir project.
Custom filters are supported for this mapping group. For more information about adding filter conditions, see Using Filters and Filter Definition.
Only standard and custom fields for the Project [ project
] record type can be used in custom filters even if other fields (report values) are available for mapping.
If you want to update only projects at specific project stages, you should now use a custom filter condition instead of checking the Allow projects in this project stage to be updated in NetSuite [netsuite_push_project_stage_filter] box on the project stage records. However, the Allow projects in this project stage to be updated in NetSuite [netsuite_push_project_stage_filter] box method is still supported.
