Creating NetSuite Mappings

Overview

The first step to integrating your NetSuite environment with Kantata OX is to create your mappings. Each Mapping Set has the same layout with different data depending on the type within M-Bridge.

How to Create a Mapping Set

1. Log in to M-Bridge.
2. Navigate to NetSuite > Settings.
3. Select the Mappings drop-down and select the type of mapping you want to create. 
4. On the page that appears, select New Mapping Set.
   Note: You can create as many mapping sets as needed, but the first mapping set created automatically becomes the default. You can assign a different mapping set as the default after it has been successfully created. Go to the How to Change the Default Mapping Set section of this article for more information. 
5. Enter a mapping set Name and select a Service from the drop-down.
   Tip: Kantata OX recommends a name that is memorable or that relates directly to the scenario you're creating. In this example, a mapping set for a NetSuite Item Category mapping type is named Expenses and the mapped service is NetSweet.

6. Map values between Kantata OX and NetSuite by entering their values into the Mavenlink and External fields.
   Note:

   • The left column contains the values from Kantata OX. This will contain all possible and active values at the time of creation.
   • The right column contains values from NetSuite. At first creation, these will all display as null.
   • The first time you click on the drop-down, it initiates a live API call to NetSuite, which may take a few moments to load.
   • The names within the mapped fields may not match exactly. For example, a value like Entertainment in Kantata OX can be mapped to a Meals & Entertainment value in NetSuite.
7. Select Add Mapping Pair to generate fields for any additional mapping pairs you wish to add for new objects or records that didn't exist at the time the table was created.
   Note: Both the Mavenlink and NetSuite value fields will display as null. 
8. To delete a mapping pair, select the (-) button to remove it. This cannot be reversed if you submit the entire mapping table after the row is deleted.
9. When finished, click Submit.

How to Change the Default Mapping Set

1. 1. Within M-Bridge, go to NetSuite > Settings.
   2. Select the Mappings drop-down and select the type of mapping that you want to change the default mapping set for. The associated type of mapping page appears.
   3.  Click Make Default next to a different set. The default mapping set updates and becomes gray.

Updating Scenarios

If you create new mappings for an existing service, make sure you update the relevant scenarios to use those new mappings. Below are the available Mappings Sets and their relevant Scenarios:
