Selecting First Available Lot Number During Order Sync

The selection of the first available lot number during order synchronization is crucial for items requiring inventory detail in NetSuite. Proper configuration of this process in NetSuite Connector ensures that sales orders or cash sales include the necessary inventory information for successful posting.

How Does Inventory Detail Impact Order Sync?

Some items in NetSuite require additional data called inventory detail. For these items, the NetSuite Connector must provide this data during the order sync to facilitate accurate postings. Without this data, NetSuite may automatically default to the first available lot number, which can lead to inconsistencies in inventory tracking.

Ensuring that your NetSuite instance is setup to automatically supply inventory detail will help streamline operations. Additionally, having a line item level location mapping is essential so that the NetSuite Connector knows where to retrieve the first available lot number from.

Steps to Enable First Available Lot Number Selection

To set up your NetSuite Connector to choose the first available lot number for items needing inventory detail during order sync, follow these steps:

1. Log in to app.farapp.com.
2. Select the relevant connector and account.
3. Navigate to Settings > Orders.
4. On the General Order Settings page, click Advanced Options.
5. Locate Inventory Detail (Lot Number) Settings.
6. Check the box for the transaction record type that you wish to enable this functionality for.
7. Click Save.

After completing these steps, you should receive a confirmation message indicating the functionality is enabled.

Troubleshooting

If the expected order detail is not being received, it is necessary to troubleshoot within NetSuite. Keep in mind that some troubleshooting steps may not be manageable through the NetSuite Connector interface directly.

Note: Always verify that your system's line item level location field mapping is accurately configured to avoid future discrepancies.

Who This Affects

• Administrators: Responsible for the initial setup and configuration of the NetSuite Connector.
