Problem

When a product part is mapped with the ITEM NAME/NUMBER {itemid} field, the PromoStandards services return a PartId that includes both parent and child item names (format: Parent Item:Child Item). However, the service responses should only include the child item name as the PartId.

Cause

This occurs due to the default behavior of matrix items in NetSuite when using the ITEM NAME/NUMBER field mapping.

Solution

There are three approaches to resolve this issue:

Approach 1: Modify Access Token User Preferences

Best for cases where showing only child items without matrix parent prefix is acceptable:

Go to Home → Set Preferences from the access token user's NetSuite account
Enable the Only Show Last Subitem preference and save

Approach 2: Use Feed Name or Web Store Display Name

Recommended when you have unique Web Store Display Names for matrix child items:

Use Feed Name {feedname} instead of ITEM NAME/NUMBER {itemid} and specify ITEM NAME/NUMBER {itemid} under Part Search Filters.

Configure the following services:

Live Inventory Service: Set feedname as Part Id, itemid as Part Search Filters
Order Shipment Notification Service: Set feedname as Supplier Part Id, itemid as Part Search Filters
Product Data Service: Set feedname as Product Part Id, itemid as Part Search Filters
Media Content Service: Set feedname as Part Id, itemid as Part Search Filters
Product Pricing and Configuration Service: Set feedname as Part Id, itemid as Part Search Filters
Invoice Service: Set item.feedname as Line Item Part ID

Approach 3: Use Functional Mappings

For cases where other approaches don't work:

Add required functions to suite_promoapi_invoice_transformers.js. Example function included below
Specify fn:getItemIdWithRemovedColon in PartID fields
Include itemid search filter

Configure services as follows:

Live Inventory Service: Set fn:getItemIdWithRemovedColon as Part Id, itemid as Part Search Filters
Order Shipment Notification Service: Set fn:getItemIdWithRemovedColon as Supplier Part Id, itemid as Part Search Filters
Product Data Service: Set fn:getItemIdWithRemovedColon as Product Part Id, itemid as Part Search Filters
Media Content Service: Set fn:getItemIdWithRemovedColon as Part Id, itemid as Part Search Filters
Product Pricing and Configuration Service: Set fn:getItemIdWithRemovedColon as Part Id, itemid as Part Search Filters

    }

  }

After making any configuration changes, test with sample calls to different PromoStandards services for both matrix and non-matrix items to verify response formats PartId consistency.
