Item Filters in Order Forms for...

TL;DR Opening

NetSuite Connector utilizes order forms to filter which items are available for new orders. If your orders cannot be created, it may be due to filters applied in the order form's item filter settings.

How to Check Order Form Filters

To determine if an order form is using filters, follow these steps:

Navigate to Customization > Forms > Transaction Forms.
Locate the specific form you are syncing; this is typically either Cash Sale or Sales Order, depending on your integration with NetSuite Connector.
Click Edit next to the desired form.
Access the Sublist Fields subtab.
Check the Item Filter list:
- An empty Item Filter list indicates that no filter is currently applied.
- If there are values listed, an item filter is active, which could prevent certain items from being ordered.
To troubleshoot, you can either clear the item filter list for testing or modify the existing filters to ensure relevant items from your marketplace or cart can be included in the order.
Click Save to confirm any changes you've made.
