-
In the Documents to Send field, select the Approved Purchase Orders.
-
Press the Save button to confirm changes.
You can integrate the Approved Purchase Orders and Receipts, too. To do that, select this type of form in the Documents to Send field. Find more information on this type of integration here.
In NetSuite, the Purchase Order will be integrated into the Transactions → Purchases → Enter Purchase Orders → List.
Send Pending Purchase Order to NetSuite
You can also send the documents with Pending Status to NetSuite.
To activate this feature, please contact our Support Team, who will happily assist you on the matter.
This feature will work for the chosen Purchase Order integration document type.
It will be available for users with the following Roles:
- Create and Approve Roles for Purchase Orders.
When the document acquires Approved Status, the current system logic will work out, and the document will be automatically sent to NetSuite.
Integrated Fields and Data
In Purchase Order, the synchronization of all the fields works by the one-way method. Therefore, the documents created in Precoro will be transferred into NetSuite.
Primary information mapping

Purchase Order # | PO # |

Notes from Precoro are integrated into NetSuite into the Memo field with the text and direct link to the Purchase Order.

Attachments integration
In NetSuite, Attachments are transferred to the Files tab:
Information on whether the attachment is internal or external does not transfer to NetSuite.
Items integration
General information on the item’s integration can be found here.
When integrating Purchase Orders items, you should consider the way of adding them.
-
If the items were added from the Item Management using the Add Item button, and the items were previously integrated, they will be displayed in the Items tab in NetSuite.
Only previously integrated items will be transferred into the Items section in NetSuite.
In case you have added non-integrated items from the Item Management list, they will still be integrated into the Expenses section.
-
If the items were added manually using the Add empty row button, they will be displayed in the Expenses tab in NetSuite.

How to integrate the document’s Purchase Order number

If you do not have the custom numbering, the usual (auto-generated) document number will be sent.
Document cancellation in Precoro
If you cancel the document in Precoro, it will be automatically removed from NetSuite.
Can documents be sent to NetSuite if the integration is off?
If you turn the integration off, the documents will not be sent to NetSuite.
If you wish to send the documents when the integration is off to NetSuite, you can do it manually by pressing the Send to NetSuite button.
