Managing Fulfillment by Amazon Items in NetSuite Connector

Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) integration with NetSuite Connector is essential for accurate posting of FBA items. This article outlines how to properly configure field mappings to ensure that FBA items do not revert to merchant-fulfilled items. Proper mapping enhances efficiency and reduces errors in inventory management.

How to Map FBA Product Fields

Correctly mapping the relevant fields between NetSuite and NetSuite Connector is crucial to manage your FBA items effectively. If done incorrectly, items may mistakenly revert to merchant-fulfilled status when data is posted.

Steps to Map FBA Fields

1. Log in to app.farapp.com.
2. Select the Amazon connector and the relevant account.
3. Navigate to Mappings > Products. This will open the Product Mappings page.

Mapping the Fulfillment Center ID

1. In the Amazon Field column, locate fulfillment-center-id. If not listed, add the field mapping as required.
2. Find and click Translation Mapping - Click to Edit next to the NetSuite Field ID column entry for fulfillment-center-id.
3. Enter the appropriate NetSuite field ID to mark the fulfillment center for your items.
4. In the Amazon Value field, select the option corresponding to the fulfillment region:
   • AMAZON_NA: FBA items for North America
   • AMAZON_EU: FBA items for Europe
   • AMAZON_JP: FBA items for Japan
   • AMAZON_CN: FBA items for China
   • AMAZON_IN: FBA items for India
5. Click Save Changes to finalize.

Mapping the Quantity and Lead Time to Ship Fields

• Quantity Field Mapping: To ensure accurate inventory syncing, contact NetSuite support for proper configuration to send a blank value for FBA items, as Amazon manages quantities directly from their warehouses.
• Lead Time to Ship Field Mapping: Similar to quantity mapping, reach out to NetSuite support to configure this mapping to send a blank value for FBA items.

For further assistance and configuration details, refer to articles on Posting FBA Orders in NetSuite Connector and Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment.

Key Considerations

• Ensure that custom fields are added to denote FBA items within your NetSuite setup.
• Regularly confirm mapping accuracy to avoid complications with order fulfillment.

Who This Affects

• Administrators: Responsible for setting up the mappings and managing order configurations.
• Developers: Need to ensure that custom fields and data paths are correctly integrated as per FBA requirements.
• Inventory Managers: Must understand how FBA mapping impacts inventory levels and reporting.

Key Takeaways

• Accurate field mapping is crucial for FBA item management in NetSuite Connector.
• Focus on setting up fulfillment center IDs and monitoring inventory quantities carefully.
• Always engage with NetSuite support for specific configurations involving FBA mappings.
