Export configuration
This page showcases the most common configurations. The final configuration depends heavily on the NetSuite instance configuration and might need to be adjusted as needed.
When building the configuration, consult the methods documentation and schema browser.

Vendor Bills (Invoices)
The following shows a Vendor Bill export that (perhaps with some small tweaks) should work for most of the cases.

}
}
}
}
]
}
}
]
}
Linking Vendor Bills with Purchase Orders
To connect Vendor Bills with Purchase Orders, it is necessary to set both orderDoc and orderLine on line-items level (showing only relevant parts of the export config):
{
"export_configs": [
{
"payload": {
"method_name": "upsert",
"method_args": [
{
"tranId": "@{document_id}",
"itemList": {
"_ns_type": "VendorBillItemList",
"item": {
"$FOR_EACH_SCHEMA_ID$": {
"schema_id": "line_item",
"mapping": {
// …
"_ns_type": "VendorBillItem",
"orderDoc": "@{item_po_match}", // PO internal ID
"orderLine": "@{item_po_item_line_match}" // Relevant line-item number from PO (itemList.item.line)
// …
}
}
}
}
// …
}
]
}
}
]
}
Note that the combination of Purchase Order and line item no. can appear only once in the payload. In case it appears twice on the invoice then it's necessary to group the line items before exporting.
Conditional configuration using $DATAPOINT_MAPPING$
You can leverage JSON Templating to introduce conditions into the configuration. For example, in this example, we are changing document (NS) type based on the detected document type:
{
"_ns_type": {
"$DATAPOINT_MAPPING$": {
"schema_id": "document_type",
"mapping": {
"tax_credit": "VendorCredit",
"tax_invoice": "VendorBill"
}
}
}
}
Similarly, for line items and so on:
{
"_ns_type": {
"$DATAPOINT_MAPPING$": {
"schema_id": "document_type",
"mapping": {
"tax_credit": "VendorCreditItemList",
"tax_invoice": "VendorBillItemList"
}
}
}
}
Consider implementing this $DATAPOINT_MAPPING$ condition higher in the configuration tree and duplicating the whole sections to avoid too complex conditional configurations.
Working with custom fields
Custom fields on header level are usually prefixed by custbody_:
{
"customFieldList": {
"_ns_type": "CustomFieldList",
"customField": [
{
"value": "@{amount_total}",
"_ns_type": "StringCustomFieldRef",
"scriptId": "custbody_captured_total_amount"
}
// …
]
}
}
Custom fields can also be added conditionally using special $IF_SCHEMA_ID$ syntax:
{
"customFieldList": {
"_ns_type": "CustomFieldList",
"customField": [
{
"$IF_SCHEMA_ID$": {
"mapping": {
"value": "@{amount_total}",
"_ns_type": "StringCustomFieldRef",
"scriptId": "custbody_captured_total_amount"
},
"schema_id": "amount_total"
}
}
// …
]
}
}
Line item custom fields are usually prefixed by custcol_. They also must be nested in the item list:
{
"itemList": {
"item": {
"customFieldList": {
"_ns_type": "CustomFieldList",
"customField": [
{
"value": "@{ns_custcol_some_field}",
"_ns_type": "StringCustomFieldRef",
"scriptId": "custcol_some_field"
}
// …
]
}
}
}
}
Custom fields are represented by the type CustomFieldRef, which is an abstract type. The table below contains a list of concrete custom field types that extend the CustomFieldRef type:
| JSON Mapping Type | Custom Field Type in UI |
|---|---|
LongCustomFieldRef | Integer |
DoubleCustomFieldRef | Decimal Number |
BooleanCustomFieldRef | Check Box |
StringCustomFieldRef | Free-Form Text, Text Area, Phone Number, E-mail Address, Hyperlink, Rich Text |
DateCustomFieldRef | Date, Time of Day, or Date/Time (both in one field) |
SelectCustomFieldRef | List/Record, Document |
MultiSelectCustomFieldRef | Multiple Select |

Using NetSuite File Cabinet (pipeline_context)
You can reference earlier export stages by accessing pipeline_context variable. In this example, we use pipeline_context for attaching file uploaded to the NetSuite File Cabinet:
{
"export_configs": [
{
"payload": [
{
// … upsert VendorBill here as usual
},
{
"method_name": "add",
"method_args": [
{
"name": "@{file_name}",
"folder": {
"type": "folder",
"_ns_type": "RecordRef",
"internalId": "123456"
},
"content": {
"$GET_DOCUMENT_CONTENT$": {}
},
"_ns_type": "File",
"attachFrom": "_web",
"description": "VendorBill processed by Rossum"
}
]
},
{
"method_name": "attach",
"method_args": [
{
"_ns_type": "AttachBasicReference",
"attachTo": {
"type": "vendorBill",
"_ns_type": "RecordRef",
"internalId": "{pipeline_context[0].internal_id}"
},
"attachedRecord": {
"type": "file",
"_ns_type": "RecordRef",
"internalId": "{pipeline_context[1].internal_id}"
}
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
Notice also the highlighted $GET_DOCUMENT_CONTENT$ which returns the content of the original file.
Vendor Credits (credit notes)
We're still working on this part and would love to hear your thoughts! Feel free to share your feedback or submit a pull request. Thank you! 🙏
Linking Vendor Credits with Vendor Bills
Vendor credits can be linked to vendor bills via applyList configuration. Note that the credits can be applied only "Open" vendor bills and always to VB line 0. In this example, we apply the whole credit note value to the specified vendor bill:
{
"applyList": {
"$IF_DATAPOINT_VALUE$": {
"schema_id": "ns_status_match",
"value": "Open",
"mapping": {
"apply": {
"doc": "@{ns_internalId_match}",
"line": "0",
"apply": true,
"amount": "@{amount_total_normalized}",
"_ns_type": "VendorCreditApply"
},
"_ns_type": "VendorCreditApplyList"
}
}
}
}
