If you have the Netsuite Customer / Vendor's Internal ID stored in Salesforce. This is the best scenario.

  • Find and select Internal ID field in the NetSuite Company Field (on the left of the configuration page).
  • Find and select the NetSuite Internal ID field in the Salesforce Account Field section (on the right of the configuration page).
  • Click Save

If you have the Salesforce Account ID stored in NetSuite. This is good too but some additional steps to follow.

  • Set up a Custom Field to retrieve the Salesforce Account ID you are storing in NetSuite
    • Navigate to Custom Fields on the Breadwinner for NetSuite setup page
    • Perform these steps for both Customer and Vendor (same process just use *Vendor selections instead):
      • Click Entity Fields then under the Customer* Tab click Fetch Customer Custom Fields.
      • Find the custom field which stores the Salesforce account ID, then check the Create in Customer* checkbox.
      • Click Create Customer* Custom Fields at the bottom of the page
    • The process to retrieve this newly integrated field could take some time, but will be caught up during the Breadwinner weekend housekeeping sync.
      • This can be accelerated by navigating to Admin > Troubleshoot > General
      • Under Restarting and Updating section, click Restart NetSuite Customer Sync button. For Vendors click the vendors button.
      • Navigate to the Import Progress troubleshooting page, for an indication when the table has been fully refreshed including the new field data.
