Amazon SFP Add-On Workflow for NetSuite Integration

Streamline order fulfillment with the Amazon SFP add-on for NetSuite, enabling automated shipping label processing and order tracking.

·2 min read·View Oracle Docs

Starting from the integration of Amazon Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP) within NetSuite, qualified sellers can directly fulfill Prime orders using their own shipping operations. The NetSuite Connector seamlessly processes SFP orders through a familiar framework used for Merchant Fulfilled Network (MFN) orders, simplifying the management of shipping labels and order fulfillment.

How Does the Amazon SFP Add-On Work?

The Amazon SFP add-on enables users to automate the purchasing of shipping labels from Amazon directly within NetSuite. This process eliminates manual steps and ensures that the cheapest valid shipping option is selected. Here’s a detailed workflow:

  1. Order Retrieval: NetSuite Connector retrieves an SFP order from Amazon.

  2. Label Preparation: The Connector fetches available shipping services based on the order’s shipping locations and costs.

  3. Label Purchase: Upon selection, the Connector purchases a shipping label from Amazon using the identified shipping service ID. The result includes essential shipment data such as shipment ID, tracking number, and a printable shipping label.

  4. Label Processing: The obtained shipping label is processed and synced to a custom field within the sales order in NetSuite.

  5. Final Steps in NetSuite: After syncing the order and label:

    • Access the sales order in NetSuite.
    • Print the shipping label from the designated File Cabinet folder.
    • Ship the item.
    • Mark the order as fulfilled.

Important Considerations

  • The integration requires an additional fee for setup and ongoing operations.
  • The process diverges if the shipping label is printed via Amazon instead of NetSuite. In such cases, once the shipment is processed, the order is marked as completed/shipped in Amazon, meaning no further sync of fulfillment data is necessary.

By implementing the Amazon SFP add-on, users can enhance efficiency and reduce administrative burdens related to shipping and order management within NetSuite.
