Send An Individual Item To Magento
In Netsuite under the Item > Magento Tab tick MI Display in Magento and Enable Product then save. The item will be automatically sent to Magento. In Magento under the Cloud Coders Tab > Queued Jobs From Netsuite you will be able to track the status of the item from Netsuite as it is created as a product in Magento. This item will now be updated automatically in Magento each time an update has been made in Netsuite.
Bulk Importing Netsuite Items To Magento
Bulk import allows you to sync Netsuite's items that are not yet in Magento. Do not use this feature for updating items already in Magento. Use the Mass update feature instead.
Step 1. Create a saved search in Netsuite to filter the items you are interested in. Make sure the search is public and available in list view. Set Criteria as required to select the items you want send to Magento. On the Results tab make sure to include the field "Internal ID".
Step 2. Navigate to Magento > Set-up > Bulk import. Select your saved search from the saved search drop down. From the right select the store you want the products to be assigned to. For multiple stores hold down the "shift" key as you click.
Monitor the progress of updates in Magento under Cloud Coder Tab > Queued Job From Netsuite. While doing a bulk import products may seem to be missing some of their field values. This is because the bulk import brings across item data in several passes. First an initial skeleton item is created with mapped field values updated in a second pass. Note: Do not re run the bulk import until the queue is empty.
Mass Update of Netsuite Items to Magento
A mass update is used when the item already exists in Magento and an update operation has not automatically updated the product in Magento for example a CSV import.
In NetSuite navigate to Lists > Mass Update > Mass Updates
From the "Custom Updates" action select the mass update for the item type to be updated as illustrated below:
Ensure one of the filter fields include "MI Display in Magento" with the value of "yes". Save the mass update or click the "Preview" button. Select "Perform Update" to commence the update, items will start to appear in the queued job from Netsuite option in magento.
