NetSuite Connector Product Categories

When importing items from NetSuite, NetSuite Connector determines the set of mapping fields that should be used for the product. This process is called categorization, and you need to create mappings for the Category fields for each product.

After importing an item, you can see how it's categorized or the set of fields used by the item. You can use only a single category for all items at a time.

The following table provides details of category mapping for each connector type:
