Overview

This guide provides steps for updating specific fields on your ASI-constituted item using eXtendESP-DE (eXtendASI). You can also add a new ASI-related field to your item record and update its value from ASI without affecting other fields' values.

This guide applies to users who wish to keep their NetSuite items in sync with the data available in ASI through live updates via eXtendESP-DE. This tool also offers the ability to update specific ASI field values separate from the main update processes.

Prerequisites

Items to be updated must have been constituted using eXtendESP-DE (eXtendASI).

Configuration

Follow these steps to update your linked NetSuite items from the ASI feed:
  1. Create new mapping records with a unique integration name. Note: This should be different from the integration name used with existing eXtendASI mappings. Refer to Creating eXtendTech Field Mapping Records for Item Constitution for more details about creating field mappings.
  2. Create a saved search that includes the items to be updated.
  3. The mapping records from step 1 and the item list from step 2 will be processed in the update when executed.
  4. Create a new script deployment for the Map/Reduce script titled eXtendASI Item Custom integration {customscript_extend_asi_item_custom_inte}. Set up the deployment based on the following script parameters:
    1. eXtendASI Custom User Integration Name: Enter the custom integration name which will be used while creating log records. This will help with debugging in case any error occurs while updating the item record.
    2. eXtendASI Custom Field Mapping Integration Name: Enter the field mapping integration name which you had used while creating field mapping records. Mappings with this mapping integration name will be during processing.
    3. eXtendASI Custom Integration Saved Search: Enter the saved search ID for the saved search containing the ASI items to be updated.
    4. eXtendASI Custom Employee: Select the employee record associated with the ASI credentials  to be used for the update.
    5. eXtendASI Custom Update Cost: If checked, item costs will be updated during processing.
    6. eXtendASI Custom Update Vendor Name: If checked, vendor names will be updated during processing.
    7. eXtendASI Custom Update Sales Price: If checked, sales prices will be updated during processing.
    8. eXtendASI Custom Item Constitution Type: Specify the matrix item type for the items being updated. Must be either Matrix or Non-Matrix.
  5. To execute the script immediately, click Save & Execute to start the update process.
  6. To schedule a one-time update in the future or recurring updates, specify the schedule details and Save the script deployment.

Note

If any error occurs while updating the item record, the custom integration name used while creating log records will help with debugging.
