Premium Service Lookup for Netsuite

The NetSuite toolkit offers a Premium Service Lookup component which provides lookup capabilities by searching records in a NetSuite instance. The Premium Service Lookup (also short for "PSL" below) component was first introduced in our v21.1 release, any prior versions will not have the component. The Premium Service Lookup component is a shared component that is shipped by a few other Integration Toolkits, including SSIS Productivity Pack, Dynamics 365, HubSpot, NetSuite toolkits since the v21.1 release.

In order to use the Premium Service Lookup component to look at data from a NetSuite instance, you will need to have the NetSuite Toolkit installed. Once installed, you may continue with the configuration of the component using the following four different pages.

General Page

The General page of the PSL Component allows you to specify the general settings of the component.

Premium Service Lookup Component - Netsuite - General

General
Connection Manager

A Connection Manager is required for the Premium Service Lookup component to connect to. A list of available connection managers will populate the drop-down.

Target Object

The Target Object can be selected from the drop-down list. This would be based on the Connection manager. The target object would be used as the lookup table for the input data.

Cache Mode

You can select a cache mode from the below options.

    • Full Cache: When chosen, the component will populate a full cache of all records from the target object. This is the preferred option when the number of records in the target object is small.
    • Partial Cache: When chosen, the component will gradually build up lookup cache as the data load progresses. This is the preferred option when the number of records in the target object is significantly large.
    • No cache: No cache is built when this is chosen.

Note: The cache mode would be available based on the Target object chosen. Some objects and queries do not support one or more cache modes, which would be reflected in the component.

Advanced Text Matching Options

The Advanced Text Matching options are as follows

  • Ignore case: When chosen, the Lookup will perform a case-insensitive lookup. For instance, "ABC Company" will be treated the same as "abc company".
  • Ignore Leading Whitespace: When chosen, the leading whitespaces will be ignored.
  • Ignore Symbols: When chosen, any symbols would be ignored.
  • Ignore Trailing whitespaces: When enabled, any trailing whitespaces would be ignored.
  • Ignore Diacritics/Accents: When chosen, the Lookup will not take any diacritics within a string into consideration.

Note: The Advanced Text Matching Options only apply to Full Cache mode.

NetSuite (KingswaySoft) Settings
Use Netsuite Search API

Enable this option to use Netsuite Search API.

Use Advanced Search

NetSuite Advanced search provides users with the ability to perform a search that references an existing saved search or add additional filtering conditions on top of an existing saved search.

Sub Object

Some common source objects have sub objects. Sub objects are objects that are closely related to each other but are not exactly the same. If sub objects are available for a source object one can be selected in the sub object combobox. If a sub object is not selected source objects of all types of sub objects will be returned.

Batch size

Specify the batch size which is the number of records that will be returned per web service call.

Saved Search

The Saved Search available to the object can be retrieved here.

Run Scripts and Triggers

The scripts and triggers can be specified to run or not based on the option selected:

  • Default: This would pick the settings for running scripts and triggers from the NetSuite side.
  • True: This would run the scripts and triggers while the component is executed.
  • False: This would not run the script and trigger while the component is executed.
Custom Fields

add NetSuite custom field

Clicking the Custom Fields button will launch the 'Manage Custom Field' dialog. This dialog allows additional fields to be added that correspond to custom fields on the object. Fields can be added manually or detected automatically. If the Autodetect option is used, the component will retrieve the specified number of records which will be based on the Page Size and Number of Pages from NetSuite. Then it will populate the grid with any custom fields found.

When the 'Add Manually' button is clicked the 'Add Custom Field' dialog will be launched where you can configure the custom field properties.

Refresh Component Button

Clicking the Refresh Component button causes the component to retrieve the latest metadata and update each field to its most recent metadata.

Expression fx Icon

Click the blue fx icon to launch SSIS Expression Editor to enable dynamic updates of the property at run time.

Generate Documentation Icon

Click the Generate Documentation icon to generate a Word document that describes the component's metadata including relevant mapping, and so on.

Lookup Conditions Page

  • _MatchFound - this will indicate whether the lookup has succeeded. It should return a true when there is at least a match found in the target system. Otherwise, it should return a false.
  • _HasMoreThanOneMatch - this will be set to true when there are more than one matching record in the target system.

Error Handling Page

The Error Handling page allows you to specify how errors should be handled when they happen.
