Mapping Required and Optional Fields for Product Sync

Product mapping in NetSuite Connector involves identifying and linking required and optional fields for product synchronization across various marketplaces and carts. Different channels may need overlapping fields like product name or SKU, yet they employ unique field IDs. Understanding how to map these fields effectively is crucial for maintaining accurate inventory and product listings.

How to Map Required Product Fields

To successfully map the necessary fields for your products, follow these steps:

1. Log into NetSuite Connector: Access your account at app.farapp.com.
2. Select the Connector: Choose the relevant account associated with your marketplace or cart.
3. Navigate to Mappings: Head over to the Mappings section and select Products.
4. Add Mapping: Click on Add Mapping. This will bring up a window with dropdowns labeled Required, Standard, and Uncommon.
5. Identify Required Fields: In the Required dropdown, seek any unmapped fields that are essential for your products.
6. Select and Add the Field: Choose the desired field and click on Add Mapping to incorporate it into your list.
7. Close the Mapping Window: After adding, close the window.
8. Input Field ID: Locate the newly added field at the bottom of the product mappings list. Next, in the NetSuite Field ID column, input the appropriate field ID. The system will offer suggestions as you type.
   • Note: Certain required fields might show Special Mapping - Click to Edit instead of allowing direct entry. Click this link to input your mapping.
9. Save Changes: Don’t forget to click Save to ensure your mappings are stored correctly.
10. Repeat as Necessary: Continue the steps for all required fields.

You can follow the same procedure for optional fields in the Standard and Uncommon lists. It is advisable to prioritize mapping all required fields and then proceed with optional ones one at a time for efficiency.

Key Considerations

• Field IDs: Different marketplaces may have unique identifier formats; ensure you double-check these to avoid syncing issues.
• Special Mappings: Be attentive to fields that require special treatment, as they may demand additional inputs or have specific configurations.

Key Takeaways

• Mapping product fields is essential for accurate product synchronization in NetSuite Connector.
• Prioritize mapping required fields before optional ones to streamline the process.
• Special mappings require additional steps that need close attention to avoid issues.
