Product Mapping Test Results in NetSuite Connector

TL;DR

This article explains how to preview and test product mapping data sent from NetSuite Connector to marketplaces or carts. Understanding these test results helps ensure that products sync accurately with external systems.

How to Preview Product Mapping Data

You can access the product mapping test results in two main locations within NetSuite Connector:

1. From the Products Dashboard
2. From the Product Mappings Page

Viewing Data Mapping from the Products Dashboard

To see product mapping data directly from the dashboard, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Data Flows > Products.
   • This will open the Products dashboard showing all products imported by NetSuite Connector.
2. Use the search functionality to locate the desired product.
   • For guidance on searching, refer to the relevant article on searching for products.
3. Once located, click the Action menu on the right side.
4. Select Show Product Mapping to view the mapping results for that product.

Viewing Data Mapping from the Product Mappings Page

Alternatively, you can check the product mappings by following these steps:

1. Go to Mappings > Products.
2. Click on Test Mappings.
   • A new window named Test Product Mappings will open.
3. In the Product Internal ID field, enter the internal ID of the product you want to test (avoid using the SKU).
4. Click Test Mappings to display the results.

Understanding Product Mapping Test Results

The Test Product Mappings window presents the results of the mappings for the selected product. This includes:

• The current mappings relevant to the product test.
• Additional values that might not be mapped, which can assist in understanding data relationships.
  • For example, FarAppInternalProductID combines the NetSuite internal ID with an ID designated by NetSuite Connector for internal processes.

Note: When testing mappings for a product previously sent to a marketplace or cart, you will see the most up-to-date mappings, not the ones originally transmitted.

Key Takeaways

• Access product mapping test results through the Products dashboard or Product Mappings page.
• Ensure you use the internal ID, not the SKU, for testing mappings.
• Test results show real-time data that reflects current mappings, which is critical for successful data integration in marketplaces.
