Item and Product Syncs

NetSuite uses Item records for inventory management. Salesforce uses Product objects for maintaining the Sales Catalogs for the sales teams. The Salesforce Connector supports the exchange of data between NetSuite and Salesforce. The NetSuite inventory and the Salesforce product catalog are always in sync.

The Salesforce Connector synchronizes the changes made in NetSuite, and the changes made in Salesforce, so that both the Sales team and the Finance team are always working with the same information.
