NSEB Sandbox Quick Start

To get started with the usage of NSEB in sandbox, you must understand the following steps:

1. Prerequisites

2. Link Oracle Business Network with your NetSuite Sandbox

3. Link Avalara with your NetSuite Sandbox

4. Mandate Activation of Avalara Sandbox company

5. Daily Usage in Sandbox

Prerequisites

• You need to register your subsidiary as a Trading Partner on Oracle Business Network. You must perform this step in production NetSuite account and not in sandbox. For more details, see, Setting Up OBN Processes.

• You need to complete Avalara provisioning in your production NetSuite account. For more details, see Avalara Provisioning. You must perform this step in production NetSuite account and not in sandbox.

  Note:

  The above step is not required for SuiteProcuement users.

Link Oracle Business Network with your NetSuite Sandbox

To connect to OBN from your NetSuite Sandbox, you must perform OBN Trading partner linking in NetSuite Sandbox:

1. Go to Setup>NetSuite Electronic Business > OBN Registration

2. Authorize OBN to connect to your NetSuite account.

3. Link parent subsidiary by providing your OBN username and password and also provide the OBN unique identifier for that subsidiary.

   Note:

   To get the OBN unique identifier value for the subsidiary, login into your NetSuite production account through the OBN manager role. Go to the OBN Registration page, refer to the list of subsidiaries and their OBN unique identifier from the table.

4. You can now proceed to link other subsidiaries to your Oracle Business Network trading partner account.

Link Avalara with your NetSuite Sandbox

Linking a sandbox subsidiary with its OBN Trading Partner account from sandbox automatically links NetSuite Sandbox with Avalara (if applicable). To connect to Avalara from your NetSuite Sandbox, you must perform OBN Trading partner linking of the subsidiary in NetSuite Sandbox.

Important:

Make sure you have performed the required Prerequisites before proceeding to link your NetSuite Sandbox with Avalara sandbox. (TP, Avalara provisioning)

Mandate Activation of Avalara Sandbox company

After a sandbox subsidiary is linked to Avalara, the corresponding Avalara sandbox company can be activated to work with the required mandates. This process is similar to activating an Avalara company in production. The difference is that the company that is activated in NetSuite Sandbox is activated in Avalara sandbox and will be used to test sending and receiving of documents through Avalara sandbox.

Daily Usage in Sandbox

If you are using SuiteProcurement or Electronic Invoicing (Avalara for E-Invoicing) in NetSuite Sandbox after performing the above steps, it will result in sending documents to OBN test mode and Avalara sandbox which will eventually reach the test mode of Trading Partner and tax authority test environment.
