NetSuite Connector Storefront Flag Fields

For product sync, NetSuite Connector requires a custom field for each account of a connector to use as a storefront flag. By setting the value of this field in NetSuite, you can sync data to items on the storefront.

The flag fields automatically created upon installation of the NetSuite Connector SuiteApp.

The following table lists the values that you can select for flag fields:

Internal ID	Value	Definition	Notes
None	(blank)	Ignored by NetSuite Connector.	NetSuite Connector does not load data from NetSuite if the flag field is blank.
1	Add/Update Item	Add or update product data to the storefront.	.
2	Remove Item	Delete product or listing from storefront.	If an item is flagged as Y, and later you decide to delist the item, you must flag it to N. Note: If you are using price and quantity sync, setting the item to Remove Item does not delete the item from the marketplace or cart. The Remove Item setting only stops syncing the item.
3	Ignore Item	Ignored by NetSuite Connector.	NetSuite Connector does not load data from NetSuite if the flag field is blank.
4	Post Children as Stand-Alone	Parent of stand-alone items. C means post only children.	Used for NetSuite matrix item parents. Child items are posted as stand-alone (non-variation) items. NetSuite Connector needs the parent data to populate child items. This setting enables NetSuite Connector to load, but not post the parent data. To use this setting, set the parent item to C and child item to Y.
5	Post Inventory Only	Inventory-only flag. Supported only for eBay connector.	This value is used for posting only inventory updates to eBay when you do not want full product updates.
6	Post Price Only	Price-only flag. Supported only for eBay connector.	This value is used for posting only price updates to eBay when you do not want full product updates.
7	Post Price/Inventory Only	Price and inventory flag. Supported only for eBay connector.	This value is used for posting only price and inventory updates to eBay when you do not want full product updates.

Storefront Flag Field Leading Practices

Follow these leading practices when using storefront flag field for syncing items from NetSuite:

The behavior of the flag fields is predefined in NetSuite Connector. If you create your flag fields manually, you need to create the flag fields with the values and internal IDs as described in the table.
To list an item, change the item’s flag field value from blank to Add/Update Item (or Y).
To remove an item, change the item’s flag field value from Add/Update Item to Remove Item (or from Y to N ).
Do not change the flag field from blank to Remove Item (or N). This change can cause errors.
To remove an item, do not change the flag field from Add/Update Item (or Y) to blank.
When using matrix items in Price/Qty sync, do not set the parent item to sync. Set the child item flag field to Add/Update Item (or Y).
When using matrix items in full product sync, set the flag fields of both parent as well as child items to Add/Update Item (or Y).
