Managing Your NetSuite ShipEngine Account: Enabling and Disabling Features

NetSuite's latest update (version 2026.1) introduces an important feature for users relying on ShipEngine for shipping integrations. You now have the option to enable or disable your NetSuite ShipEngine account. This addition gives you greater control over your shipping activities within the SuiteAnalytics realm.

Understanding the Disable/Enable Feature

Disabling your NetSuite ShipEngine account is a critical step if you want to temporarily halt all related shipping activities, including integrations through Ship Central. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

• Impact on Shipping Activities: When you disable your account, all shipping transactions—such as processing shipping items and conducting rate shopping—will cease. This functionality serves as a safeguard against unintended shipping transactions during periods of inactivity or transition.
• Workflow Continuity: It's important to note that while shipping integrations are halted, packing workflows remain completely unaffected. This ensures that your ordering and packing processes continue without interruption, even if your shipping account is disabled.

How to Manage Your ShipEngine Account

To manage your ShipEngine account settings, navigate to the Manage ShipEngine Integration page within your NetSuite dashboard:

1. Locate the Disable ShipEngine Account button.
2. Click it to deactivate your account.
3. Post-disablement, the page will automatically refresh and display your current account status.
4. If you wish to restore full functionality later, simply click Enable ShipEngine Account.

This intuitive approach allows administrators and users to manage their account status and prevent unintended shipping activities with ease, enhancing operational efficiency.

Best Practices

• Review Usage: Before disabling your account, ensure to review any ongoing transactions or dependencies on ShipEngine to avoid disruptions.
• Communicate Changes: Always communicate with relevant team members before making changes to the account status to ensure everyone is informed of potential impacts.

Note: Keeping a record of when you disable and enable features may help in tracking any issues related to shipping transactions or reporting.

Key Takeaways

• You can now easily enable or disable your NetSuite ShipEngine account to control shipping services.
• Disabling the account stops all shipping activities but does not affect packing workflows.
• Managing your account is streamlined through the Manage ShipEngine Integration page for efficiency.
• Communicate changes within your team to prevent confusion and ensure smooth operations.
