Integration tips

Enable internal IDs

By enabling internal ids, you can hover over a field to see the internal ID it is linked to

https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/netsuite/ns-online-help/section_N3423996.html#To-display-internal-ID-values%3A

This id is the accessor you will select in SharpSync

Discovering property (accessor) names

NetSuite item types have different backing properties depending on the area of NetSuite you're working in as well as for the item type. For example, InventoryItem types will not have the same properties or values as AssemblyItem types.

When creating new InventoryItem items you'll have to set certain item properties that are required such as (but not limited to)

• Country of manufacture

• Tax schedule

• Unit Type

However the name of these values will not correspond to what you're seeing onscreen. In the backend they may be called

• countryOfManufacture

• taxSchedule

• baseUnit

In order to discover what they are named, you can query a NetSuite InventoryItem resource using the following request

{{netsuite-api}}/services/rest/record/v1/inventoryItem/{itemId}?expandSubResources=true

For example

https://123456-sb1.suitetalk.api.netsuite.com/rest/record/v1/inventoryItem/20567?expandSubResources=true

This will yield a result such as this

{
    "links": [
        {
            "rel": "self",
            "href": "https://4293129-sb1.suitetalk.api.netsuite.com/services/rest/record/v1/inventoryItem/20567?expandSubResources=true"
        }
    ],
    "assetAccount": {
        "links": [
            {
                "rel": "self",
                "href": "https://4293129-sb1.suitetalk.api.netsuite.com/services/rest/record/v1/account/133"
            }
        ],
        "id": "133",
        "refName": "1420 Inventory : Inventory Parts"
    },
    "atpMethod": {
        "id": "CUMULATIVE_ATP_WITH_LOOK_AHEAD",
        "refName": "Cumulative ATP with Look Ahead"
    },
    "autoLeadTime": true,
    "autoPreferredStockLevel": true,
    "autoReorderPoint": true,
    "availableToPartners": false,
    "averageCost": 1,
    "baseUnit": "1",

    // ... more 
}

From the example response above we can get accessor names to be shown in SharpSync. The names in the above sample start with

• links

• assetAccount,

• atpMethod

• autoLeadTime

• autoPreferredStockLevel

• autoReorderPoint

• availableToPartners

• averageCost

• baseUnit

• ... more

In SharpSync you're then able to select accessors from this list. Reminder that an accessor is just a property on a type. So assetAccount is an accessor (the data we're accessing) or property on InventoryItem
