In addition to may other destinations, Census can sync your data warehouse data into Netsuite objects such as Customer, Invoice, and more. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of setting up a new Netsuite connection in Census.
You'll need a Census account as well as a NetSuite account with the Administrator role. This process involves several steps - please set aside 15-30 minutes to complete it. Netsuite configuration can be complex, so if you have any questions please reach out to [email protected] and we'll help you tailor these instructions to your needs.
Visit the integrations page or use the global search to look for and navigate to: page: Manage Integrations
Create a new integration with the follow properties:
Give it a name that you'll recognize, such as Census
Check TOKEN-BASED AUTHENTICATION
Leave OAuth 2.0 AUTHORIZATION CODE GRANT unchecked
Leave TBA: AUTHORIZATION FLOW unchecked
Set State to Enabled
Click Save when finished.
Copy and paste the CONSUMER KEY / CLIENT ID and CONSUMER SECRET / CLIENT SECRET to a password manager. You'll need those later to paste into Census.
Global search to page: Enable Features
Navigate to the tab SuiteCloud > Manage Authentication
Make sure Token Based Authentication is checked
Save
The Administrator user you're using with Netsuite and Census also needs "Token Role".
Global search to page: New Role
Name the role: Census
Check WEB SERVICES ONLY ROLE
Check DO NOT RESTRICT EMPLOYEE FIELDS
For multi-subsidiary Netsuite users, check ALL under ACCESSIBLE SUBSIDIARIES
Under Permissions > Setup, add the following permissions:
User Access Token: Full
Access Token Management: Full
SOAP Web Services: Full
7. Under Permissions > Lists, Give your Role the appropriate permissions for the Netsuite objects you'll be updating. For example, to update Customers, you'll want to give this role the Lists > Customers (Full) permission. (See screenshot below)
Global search to page: Employees
Edit the employee record of the Admin user you will be using Census with.
Navigate to Access > Roles and add the Token Role you just created above.
Global search to page: Access Tokens
Click New Access Token
Select the application and role we created above, then press Save
Copy and paste the new Token ID and Token Secret to your password manager or file. We'll use it below.
The last bit of information youโll need is your Netsuite Account ID:
Global search to page: Company Information.
Your ACCOUNT ID will be found on that page. Copy and paste it as well.
Now in Census, add a new Service Connection.
Paste the Account ID of your Netsuite Account, as well as the Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, Token ID and Token Secret created above.
Click Save Connection, and click Test to double check your connection information.
You're ready to start using Census to load data from your warehouse to Netsuite! If you have any trouble with these steps, please don't hesitate to reach out to: [email protected] and we'll help get this setup.
Netsuite's API speed and rate limitation are complex and are tied to the plan you are on but you can expect a speed of ~500 records sync / minute on their base plan,
Service | Records sync / Minute |
Netsuite | 500 |
Please note that you can contact your Customer Success Manager at Netsuite to increase your Netsuite account API concurrency to increase the records sync speed.
This is is the current list of Netsuite objects supported by our connector. There are many more and we add them on a case by case basis. If you need a different type of object, please contact us to let us know which object do you need, and we will be happy to support it.
