Ship method mapping tells the Walmart - NetSuite integration app which NetSuite ship method to use for each Walmart ship method, and what to do when a ship method has no match. You set it up separately for seller-fulfilled orders, Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS) orders, and fulfillments, and the integration app allows any number of mappings. This article is for integrator.io users configuring the order and fulfillment flows.
Where to map ship methods
| Flows | Settings location | Setting |
|---|---|---|
| Seller-fulfilled orders | Settings > Order > Shipping | Ship Method Mapping |
| WFS orders | Settings > Order (WFS) > Shipping | Map ship methods |
| Fulfillments | Settings > Fulfillment | Ship Method Mapping |
Map ship methods
- In the integration app, go to the settings location for the flows you're mapping, and expand the ship method setting listed in the table.
- In Walmart Ship Method, select a Walmart ship method. If no values appear, select Refresh.
- In NetSuite Ship Method, select the NetSuite ship method to use for it. If no values appear, select Refresh.
- In Action to take if unique match not found, select what happens when a ship method has no mapping. See What happens when no match is found.
- Select Save.
What happens when no match is found
- Fail record: The record fails with an error when a Walmart ship method has no mapped NetSuite ship method.
- Use Empty String as Default Value: Records with an empty ship method sync without an error. Don't use this if NetSuite requires a ship method, which is usually the case.
- Use Null as default value: Records with a null ship method, for example a value of only spaces or other junk data, sync without an error. Don't use this if NetSuite requires a ship method.
- Use Custom Default Value: Records without a mapped ship method get the NetSuite ship method you select in Default Lookup Value. The values in Default Lookup Value must exist in NetSuite.
Ship methods for WFS orders
WFS orders are already shipped when they're imported, so a single generic ship method usually fits them. In Settings > Order (WFS) > Shipping, select Use Custom Default Value, and in Default Lookup Value, select a generic ship method you created in NetSuite, such as Walmart Fulfillment Services Shipping.
