How to configure and maintain Item records to work with Orderful for NetSuite.

Orderful's SuiteApp is designed to work automatically for most item configurations in NetSuite and methods of reference in EDI. Additionally, Item Lookup custom records are configurable within NetSuite to allow for more complex, relationship-specific, and subsidiary-specific lookup requirements.

Default Inbound Item Cross-Reference

When Orderful for NetSuite creates a transaction in NetSuite, it must find the item records that correspond to the lines on an incoming EDI document. By default, this lookup is performed using the SKU (Item Name/Number) or UPC.

Field mapping is performed in the order of the table below:

EDI QualifierNetSuite Item Field
VN (Vendor Number)SKU (itemid)
VP (Vendor Part Number)SKU (itemid)
UP (UPC)UPC (upccode)
UK (UPC/EAN Container Code)UPC (upccode)
EN (EAN)UPC (upccode)

Modifying Default NetSuite Item reference fields

Unless otherwise specified in General Preferences, NetSuite's native item fields are used.

If required, the default SKU and UPC fields in NetSuite can be configured to map to other custom or native item fields.
