Export NetSuite Matrix Item as Amazon Product and Variations

Matrix items created in NetSuite are exported to Amazon through the NetSuite Item to Amazon Product Add/Update integration flow. The Integration App can be configured to run this integration flow at scheduled intervals. The parent matrix item is exported as Amazon Product while the child matrix items are exported as variations for the same product in Amazon.  

Note: This functionality is only supported with the standard or premium editions of the integration app.

The integration flow allows you to map common fields, and configure variation themes as well as category and sub-category-specific fields in Amazon with fields in NetSuite. The field mapping option displayed in the Product Mapping page in the Product section is created based on Amazon’s flat file templates used to export products. Please note that Celigo does not provide fields in NetSuite that needs to be mapped for migrating the product information from NetSuite to Amazon and it is the responsibility of the user to create the required fields in NetSuite and map it with corresponding fields in Amazon.

For more information on field mapping of the product flow see the Working with Field Mappings for the product flow section in the Product flow article.
