Enable External Launch Option for SuiteCommerce in NetSuite
NetSuite 2024.1 updates the CPQ Configurator, allowing product-level control for SuiteCommerce with new external launch options.
TL;DR Opening
Starting in NetSuite 2024.1, with the enhancement to the CPQ Configurator (version 1.2.5), administrators can now control which products are available for SuiteCommerce at a more granular, product level by enabling the 'External Launch' option. Previously, this setting was limited to the options record, resulting in all products being accessible once enabled.
What’s New
This update brings a significant refinement for users managing product availability within SuiteCommerce.
- Granular Control: The 'Enable External Launch' checkbox can be selected for individual products, enhancing flexibility.
- Previous Limitation: Previously, the launch option was tied to the broader options record, meaning all products could potentially be launched without regard to specific business requirements.
- Use Cases: This change allows businesses to define product availability more precisely, catering to specific marketing campaigns, customer demands, or other operational needs.
By shifting the functionality to a product-specific level, businesses can ensure they only promote and sell products that align with current strategies or inventory capabilities.
Who This Affects
- Administrators: Responsible for setting up the products in SuiteCommerce.
- Inventory Managers: Need to customize the product offerings based on real-time business needs.
- Developers: May need to adjust integrations or custom scripts affected by this new product-level setting.
Key Takeaways
- The external launch option is now product-specific in SuiteCommerce.
- Transitioning from general to more specific settings enhances operational flexibility.
- Business applications for this feature include targeted promotions and better inventory management.
