Commerce Cloud Order to NetSuite Order Add – Celigo

Whenever an order is created in Commerce Cloud, the connector automatically transfers the order info into NetSuite. This is a batch data flow. In Commerce Cloud, the order is in various statuses. Orders with ‘ready for export’ status are only exported. Order Id and external ID are used to match orders to prevent duplicate orders.

Variances in taxes/discounts/ shipping costs/order totals between NetSuite and Commerce Cloud are reported on the sales order. Different etail fields are provided for the variances. Advanced Settings are provided to customize the data flow.

Commerce Cloud provides a variety of environments for integrations (such as Sandbox, Dev, QA). Details are provided in the Appendix. The connector is integrated with an appropriate environment at the time of installation. In this example, we are using a sandbox environment.

The sandbox account is configured with different stores. You can also create new stores. Each store has a storefront. Customers (buyers) place their orders in the storefront and the order is recorded in the backend store. A job scheduler collects these orders and moves them into the connector, from where the orders are then sent to the target system (in our case, to NetSuite).

Steps: 1) Receive/locate order via Commerce Cloud storefront in Site backend 2) Run Order Job Scheduler in Commerce Cloud 3) Run Order data flow in integrator.io 4) Verify order receipt in NetSuite

The following screens depict the data flow.

Orders are placed in the Commerce Cloud Storefront.

Access Job schedules option from the Cloud Commerce Site Administration section

Select the relevant job schedule (order based) and click Run.

Go to the connector, and Run the ‘Order’ data flow (click ‘Play’ button). Ensure the data flow is turned on. The ‘Customer’ data flow also runs simultaneously.

The status of the data flow is visible in the dashboard.

Green color status indicates flow is successful. The record is successfully exported to NetSuite.

Success indicates the number of records moved into target system. In the above dashboard image:

If flow indicates successful transfer of the order record (shows ‘n’ records)
If flow indicates success status, but there are no records under ‘success’ column ( 0 records). This indicates no records were exported. (also can happen when you don’t first run the job schedules in Commerce Cloud, so no jobs are moved into the connector to export to NetSuite).
