You must keep your Magento 2 products in sync with NetSuite items so that any updates made to the products are automatically reflected in Magento 2. This lets you reduce errors related to product specifications across different product types.

Before you start

Before you can sync your items, there are some concepts to understand and actions to take.

Understand definitions and concepts

The following links and terminologies will help you understand the concepts that are necessary.

• NetSuite Items are also called Simple Products in Magento.
• NetSuite Matrix Items are also called Configurable Product in Magento.
• NetSuite Kit Items are also called Bundle Product in Magento.
• Customer Group, Website, Store, Store View, Attribute Set, Category.
• Virtual variation

Map tier pricing
