Flagging Existing NetSuite Items to Sync
In most NetSuite Connector integrations, NetSuite is treated as the primary record for your items. NetSuite Connector syncs that primary record to your marketplaces and carts. With this setup, product and inventory updates in NetSuite automatically sync to your marketplaces and carts.
The action NetSuite Connector takes for product sync when you change an item or inventory in NetSuite is determined by the flag field. The flag field is a custom field on the NetSuite item record, and its value determines how NetSuite Connector handles the item during product sync.
You can find the flag field for your marketplace or cart on the Product Mappings page in NetSuite Connector. The value mapped to Flag Field (default) is the field ID for your flag field in NetSuite.
For more information about the flag fields, read NetSuite Connector Storefront Flag Fields.
To flag an item to sync:
-
Go to Lists > Accounting > Items.
-
Click Edit next to the item you want to flag.
-
Click one of the following subtabs:
-
If you have NetSuite Connector SuiteApp installed, click the subtab that the SuiteApp has created. For example, if the SuiteApp has created Shopify fields, you will see the subtab called Shopify.
-
If you have manually created the flag field, click the subtab where you have created the field. By default, the field is created in the Custom subtab.
-
-
Hover over the name of a field to view the field ID.
The ID that matches Flag Field (default) in NetSuite Connector is your flag field in NetSuite.
