Application Publishers Management in NetSuite

Manage application publishers in NetSuite to ensure unique identifiers and proper application organization for SSP applications.

·2 min read·View Oracle Docs

To effectively manage application publishers in NetSuite, you can view and create unique application publisher entries that allow for the proper organization of SSP applications and their associated assets.

How to View Application Publishers

To view a list of existing application publishers:

  1. Navigate to Setup > Company > Application Publishers (Admin).

How to Create a New Application Publisher

To create a new application publisher, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Setup > Company > Application Publishers (Admin).
  2. Click New Application Publisher.
  3. Enter a Name for the application publisher.
    Important: The name must be unique across all NetSuite accounts. If you enter a name already in use, an error message will indicate the conflict. Additionally, if you're using the SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) to create or edit SuiteCloud Service Provider (SSP) applications, you must use the SuiteApp application ID as the publisher name. For more information about the SuiteApp application ID, refer to the relevant documentation.
  4. Click Save.

Following the creation of an application publisher, it is included as a component in the URL root for accessing the SSP application along with all its dependencies. The structure of the SSP application folder path typically follows this format:

<HTML Hosting Root>: /SSP Applications/<Application Publisher>/<Application Name>

This path is vital for locating application assets within the NetSuite file cabinet.
