Quality Management Connect
The NetSuite Quality Management SuiteApp enables you to send pending inspection notifications to NetSuite partners so that they can collect and evaluate inspection data. After the inspection has been completed, the results can be transmitted to NetSuite to trigger business processes using the existing REST interface.
Based on NetSuite’s SuiteSignOn, Quality Management Connect initiates an outbound (SuiteSignOn) call to an external application using an SSO OAuth token.
The external application uses the token to create an OAuth signature and then authenticates the application with NetSuite to establish an active web service session to retrieve quality inspection queue records. This session is valid for 20 minutes.
This process enables partner solutions to retrieve enough information to push quality data back to NetSuite to initiate workflow actions.
NetSuite 2020.2 Quality Management Connect supports the following inspection types:
-
Material Receipt
-
Assembly Build
-
Work Order Build
Quality Management OAuth 2.0
Client-server authentication models require you to request access to protected server resources using the resource owner’s credentials. To give access to restricted resources, resource owner shares its credentials with the third party.
For example, a client has access to the Quality SuiteApp and needs to invoke the RESTlet from an application running outside of NetSuite. The client must enter their user ID and password. This is dangerous as it allows third-party access to the client's account and they can perform any operation.
NetSuite OAuth addresses these issues by introducing an authorization layer and separating the role of the client from the resource owner. The OAuth 2.0 authorization framework enables third party applications to obtain limited access to HTTP services (RESTlet). The resource owner does this by organizing an approval interaction between the resource owner and the HTTP service or allowing third-party application access.
