Products (Purchase Items) Import Workflow
The Products (Purchase Items) import workflow lets you:
-
Create new inventory , non-inventory, service, kit/package, and other charge purchase item records in NetSuite first and then import them into SuiteProjects Pro as product records.
-
Update inventory , non-inventory, service, kit/package, and other charge purchase item records in NetSuite and use the NetSuite <> SuiteProjects Pro integration to update the corresponding service record in SuiteProjects Pro.
You can also import items of all types (both service items and other types of items) from NetSuite into SuiteProjects Pro as services records using the Services (Services Items) import workflow. See Services (Services Items) Import Workflow.
NetSuite is the primary application for item records. Changes made to product records in SuiteProjects Pro after the initial import are not exported back to NetSuite.
For information about field mapping definitions for this workflow, see Products (Purchase Items) Import Field Mapping Definition.
Requirements and Downstream Dependencies
Matching NetSuite purchase item and SuiteProjects Pro product records must exist before you can import purchase orders or vendor bills from NetSuite into SuiteProjects Pro as purchase orders.
