Repricer Integration in NetSuite Connector Product Sync

Repricer integration allows dynamic price control in NetSuite Connector, ensuring storefront pricing reflects real-time updates without conflicts.

·2 min read·View Oracle Docs

Using a repricer in your storefront can enhance the pricing strategy; however, it's essential to manage how NetSuite Connector interacts with these repricer settings. NetSuite Connector may override repricer prices under specific conditions, which could impact pricing strategies if not configured correctly.

When Does NetSuite Override Repricer Prices?

NetSuite Connector will override repricer prices if the following conditions are met:

  • You are utilizing NetSuite Connector for product synchronization.
  • There is an active mapping for the price field.

If you wish to prevent NetSuite Connector from overriding your prices, consider the following approaches:

Avoid Price Field Mapping

  • No Mapping: Not mapping the price field means that product synchronization will not update the item price, thereby allowing your repricer to set the price as needed.

Using Custom Fields for Price Mapping

  • Create a Custom Field: If full product sync is being used and items need to be created in the storefront, ensure a custom field for price mapping is set up. Keep this field blank by default so that your repricer can take control once the item is created.

Note: If an item is manually deleted from NetSuite Connector, it loses the data about its previous postings, thus the next synchronization will include the price once again.

Best Practices for Custom Field Mapping

  • Initiate with Pricing Levels: Whenever possible, map the price directly from a designated pricing level in NetSuite to ensure accuracy throughout the syncing process.
  • Use Calculated Prices: For scenarios where adjustments are needed (for instance, applying a discount or accommodating processing fees), perform any mathematical operations on prices directly within NetSuite's mapping settings prior to synchronization.

Performing Mathematical Operations on Price

You can perform operations such as discounting all prices before syncing. For example, to reduce prices by 10%, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the NetSuite Connector interface.
  2. Select the relevant connector and account.
  3. Navigate to Mappings > Products.
  4. Choose the appropriate category for price mapping (for marketplace connectors like Amazon or Walmart).
  5. From the product mapping list, find the existing price mapping and select it for editing.
  6. Add an operation to multiply the price by 0.9 to reflect a 10% discount.
  7. Save the changes, ensuring the new price is reflected during the next sync.

This systematic approach will help maintain control over pricing while leveraging the benefits of automated repricing strategies in your storefront.

Frequently Asked Questions (4)

Does the NetSuite Connector override repricer settings by default?
NetSuite Connector may override repricer prices if you use it for product synchronization and have an active mapping for the price field. To prevent this, you can avoid mapping the price field.
How can I ensure that NetSuite Connector does not update prices set by a repricer?
To ensure that the repricer controls the item prices, don't map the price field in product synchronization, or use a custom field for the price that is left blank initially.
What should I do if I want to apply a discount to prices before synchronization?
To apply a discount, perform the mathematical operations within NetSuite's mapping settings before syncing. For instance, multiply the prices by 0.9 to apply a 10% discount.
What happens if an item is manually deleted from NetSuite Connector?
If an item is deleted, it loses its previous synchronization data. Upon the next synchronization, the price will be included once again.
