Mapping Custom Field Inventories in NetSuite Connector

During product synchronization, the NetSuite Connector typically syncs inventory numbers from selected locations within NetSuite. However, you can customize this process by pulling inventory data from a custom field instead. This customization allows for greater flexibility and ensures that your inventory management aligns with how you track stock across your organization.

How to Map Inventory from a Custom Field

Follow these steps to configure the NetSuite Connector to use a custom field for inventory mapping:

1. Log in to app.farapp.com.
2. Select the connector and appropriate account.
3. Navigate to Mappings > Products.
4. Depending on your integration type:
   • For marketplace connectors, choose your category from the Category list.
   • For other connectors, select Price/Quantity Only or Full Product from the Select Sync Type drop-down.
5. Locate your inventory mapping in the list and click on Special Mapping - Click to Edit.
   • This opens the Inventory Mapping window, allowing you to make changes.
6. Check the box for Draw Quantity From Custom Field Rather Than Inventory Locations.
7. In the Custom Quantity Field input, enter the ID of your custom field.
8. Click Save Changes.
9. In the Reload Items window, confirm by clicking Yes, Reload My Items. Be aware that this reloading process may take some time.
10. Finally, click Save to complete the setup.

Best Practices

• Ensure that your custom field ID is correctly entered to avoid synchronization errors.
• Regularly verify that your mappings are functioning as expected post-sync to maintain accurate inventory numbers across all platforms.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly integrate your custom inventory numbers into the NetSuite Connector process, facilitating more accurate inventory management and reporting.
