Configuring NetSuite Connector for Integrated Shipping

Configure NetSuite Connector for integrated shipping to ensure tracking numbers sync correctly with 3PL shipments.

·2 min read·View Oracle Docs

Starting with the setup of NetSuite Connector when configured for integrated shipping, it is essential to ensure tracking numbers are posting correctly back to NetSuite from your third-party logistics (3PL) provider. If tracking numbers are not appearing as expected, there are a couple of common misconfigurations to check:

  • Integrated Shipping Setting: Ensure that the NetSuite Connector is configured to indicate that it is utilizing NetSuite's integrated shipping.
  • Carrier Assignment: Confirm that the carrier associated with the shipping method in your 3PL is assigned correctly.

Configuring Shipping Accounts in NetSuite Connector

To successfully configure shipping accounts in NetSuite Connector, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to app.farapp.com.
  2. Navigate to NetSuite > Settings > General.
  3. In the Shipping Accounts section, check the boxes for the shipping services that you have directly connected to NetSuite.
  4. Click Save.

3PL Configuration for Shipping Accounts

It's vital to verify that any shipping method linked to a carrier in NetSuite also has the correct carrier set in your 3PL system. If a shipping method lacks its carrier assignment (e.g., UPS, USPS, or FedEx), the NetSuite Connector will not recognize it, leading to failures in syncing tracking information.

For instance, if you have linked USPS in NetSuite, but the Priority Mail shipping method in your 3PL system has an empty carrier field, the tracking number will fail to sync back to NetSuite.

Key Considerations

  • Always check the carrier associations in both NetSuite and your 3PL provider to ensure seamless functionality.
  • Regularly verify your configurations to avoid shipment tracking issues that can disrupt order fulfillment processes.

Key Takeaways

  • Validate carrier assignments in the 3PL system.
  • Regularly review shipping configurations to prevent tracking issues.
