Flagging Existing NetSuite Items to Sync
In majority of the integrations with NetSuite Connector, NetSuite is treated as a primary record for your items. NetSuite Connector syncs that primary record to your marketplaces and carts. With this approach, the product and inventory updates made in your NetSuite account are propagated to the marketplaces and carts automatically.
The action taken by NetSuite Connector for product sync when you make changes to the item or inventory in NetSuite is determined by the flag field. The flag field is a custom field on the NetSuite item record. The value set in the flag field determines how NetSuite Connector handles the item for product sync.
You can locate the flag field for your marketplace or cart from the Product Mappings page in NetSuite Connector. The value mapped to the 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.
