NetSuite Connector Fulfillment Sync Process Explained

The process of syncing fulfillment with NetSuite Connector is crucial for maintaining accurate order status updates and ensuring that tracking information is available across your eCommerce platforms. This article outlines the steps required to complete the fulfillment process, particularly when not using a third-party logistics (3PL) connector.

How to Fulfill Orders in NetSuite

To successfully sync fulfillment after verifying your order in NetSuite and your eCommerce platform, follow these steps:

1. Fulfill the Order in NetSuite
   Start by navigating to the Item Fulfillment page for the relevant order. There are multiple methods to access this page depending on your business process:

   • Go to the Packages subtab.
   • In the Package Tracking Number field, input the tracking number. This step is essential as it allows the tracking information to be shown wherever the order appears on your storefront.
   • Click Save to complete the fulfillment.

2. Upload Fulfillment to Your Marketplace
   Once the order is fulfilled and the tracking number is entered in NetSuite, the next step is to upload this fulfillment data to your marketplace or cart. To do so:

   • Log in to your NetSuite Connector account.
   • From the panel, select the appropriate connector or account, and then click Data Flows > Orders.
   • Locate the order you have just fulfilled, click the pencil icon under the Action menu, and select Upload Shipment from NetSuite.

Once the fulfillment is successfully synced, the order status will automatically change to Complete. Additionally, relevant fulfillment details, such as shipping methods and tracking numbers, will be updated on your marketplace or cart.

Important Notes

• If you are using a 3PL connector with NetSuite, fulfillment should be done through your 3PL provider rather than directly in NetSuite. Ensure that you complete the necessary steps for activating or preparing the 3PL sync before proceeding with your fulfillment.
• The described sync process applies only if you are not integrating with a 3PL connector for your order sync. If you are using a 3PL, you will have to follow a different procedure.
