• In NetSuite — click on the Import Locations button on the Integration page in Precoro to sync changes.

3. Adding a new Location

In Precoro — you can add a new Location if it was integrated as Company Locations in Precoro, but it will not be created in NetSuite. If integrated as Items Custom Fields, Locations cannot be edited.

• In NetSuite — click the Import Locations button on the Integration page in Precoro to sync the new Location.

4. Deactivating a Location

• In Precoro — you can deactivate it if it was integrated as Company Locations in Precoro, but these changes will not be reflected in NetSuite. It will still require manual deactivation in NetSuite via the Edit button. Also, a Location integrated as Items Custom Fields cannot be deactivated. 
• In NetSuite — if integrated as Company Locations, it should also be inactive in Precoro. If it is integrated as Items Custom Fields, click the Update button on the Integration page in Precoro to sync the inactive status of the Location.
