Projects (Projects) Export Field Mapping Definition

The Projects (Projects) export workflow includes one mapping group:

Project [Integration point: PROJECT_TO_JOB] — See Project Mapping Group Tab.

Project Mapping Group Tab

Use the Project mapping group to map information on project records in SuiteProjects Pro with information on project records in NetSuite. The mapping group supports filters.

For reference information and best practice guidelines, review the following topics:

References — Overview of record types in SuiteProjects Pro and NetSuite with links to the relevant reference material for information about fields available for mapping.
Default and Custom Filters — Overview of default filters and how to modify the default behavior, and custom filters. Custom filters are supported for this mapping group.
Default Field Mappings — Overview of default field mapping definitions including notes and best practice guidelines where relevant. Information exported by default includes project name, associated customer, and start date. Filters and pullbacks are supported.
Additional Field Mappings — There are no specific guidelines for custom field mapping definitions in this mapping group. The mapping group does not support custom pullback field mappings, retrieving information from the record created in NetSuite back into SuiteProjects Pro.

Default and Custom Filters

By default, project records are exported from SuiteProjects Pro to NetSuite if the following conditions are met:

The Active box is checked on the project record in SuiteProjects Pro.
The project record was not already exported — Project.exported is empty.
The NetSuite Project ID [netsuite_project_id] custom field is empty OR the Allow objects with a NetSuite ID to be exported during integration run box is checked on the NetSuite Connector administration form in SuiteProjects Pro. See Allow objects with a NetSuite ID to be exported during integration run.

Custom filters are supported for this mapping group. For more information about adding filter conditions, see Using Filters and Filter Definition.

Default Field Mappings

The following table describes the default field mapping definitions for the Project mapping group tab.

NetSuite Field	SuiteProjects Pro Field	Notes
`Job.parent`	`Project.customer_id`	—
`Job.companyName`	`Project.name`	The name of the project is stored in the Project Name [`Job.companyName`] field on the NetSuite record.
`Job.entityId`	`Project.company`	Not visible on mapping definition table
`Job.startDate`	`Project.start_date`	—
`Job.limitTimeToAssignee`	`="false"`	Active only if the Project Management feature is enabled for your NetSuite account. The Limit Time and Expenses To Resources box is checked by default when creating the project record in NetSuite.
`Job.custentity_oa_export_to_openair`	`="true"`	The Export to SuiteProjects Pro [`custentity_oa_export_to_openair`] box is checked by default on the project record in NetSuite.
`Job.custentity_oa_project_stage`	`Project.project_stage_id`	Not visible on mapping definition table The project stage information is stored in the SuiteProjects Pro: Project Stage [ `custentity_oa_project_stage`] custom field on the NetSuite project record if the Map the SuiteProjects Pro project stage from the NetSuite project is checked on the Projects (Projects) import workflow settings form. See Map the SuiteProjects Pro project stage from the NetSuite project
`Job.currency`	`Project.currency`	Not visible on mapping definition table Multiple currency — If the Multiple Currency feature and the Multi-Currency Customers feature (when available separately) are enabled for your NetSuite account, you can export currency information for projects from SuiteProjects Pro to NetSuite. The currency on the NetSuite project record is set to: The Currency on the project record in SuiteProjects Pro, if the Multicurrency feature is enabled for your SuiteProjects Pro account. The base currency for your SuiteProjects Pro account, otherwise.
`Job.custentity_oa_project_currency`	`Project.currency`	Not visible on mapping definition table Multiple currency — If the Multiple Currency feature and the Multi-Currency Customers feature (when available separately) are enabled for your NetSuite account, you can export currency information for projects from SuiteProjects Pro to NetSuite. The SuiteProjects Pro: Project Currency [`custentity_oa_project_currency`] on the NetSuite project record is set to: The Currency on the project record in SuiteProjects Pro, if the Multicurrency feature is enabled for your SuiteProjects Pro account. The base currency for your SuiteProjects Pro account, otherwise.
`Job.internalId`	`Project.netsuite_project_id__c`	Not visible on mapping definition table [Pullback] When you export a new project record from SuiteProjects Pro to NetSuite, SuiteProjects Pro stores the internal ID of the NetSuite project in the NetSuite Project ID [`netsuite_project_id`] custom field. This custom field is used to link the SuiteProjects Pro and NetSuite records for future updates and matching record associations.
—	`Project.exported`	Not visible on mapping definition table SuiteProjects Pro adds a timestamp for the date and time the record was exported.
