How to import Departments from NetSuite

You can find the list of your Departments by going to Setup —> Company —> Classifications —> Departments:

• Items Custom Field — mandatory if you have departments on the item level in NetSuite;

To import Departments from your NetSuite account to your company in Precoro, you should follow these steps:

Which fields are integrated and the method of their synchronization

Please note: the Department's integration uses *one-way synchronization method

Please note: Precoro does not import/integrate Departments’ codes (internal IDs). Contact your CSM manager if you need to display the Departments’ codes in Precoro. 

*one-way synchronization — changes made in Precoro will not be displayed in NetSuite. Changes made in NetSuite will be displayed in Precoro after the data update.
