Data Mapping

Data Entity Mapping

Explore how data flows between systems with intelligent field mapping and transformation logic.

Order (Volusion) / Sales Order (NetSuite)

The core transaction representing a customer's purchase. Critical for initiating fulfillment and financial workflows.

Volusion Fields

OrderID CustomerID OrderDate OrderStatus TotalAmount PaymentStatus ShippingAddress BillingAddress LineItems (ProductID, SKU, Quantity, Price)

NetSuite Fields

entity tranDate shipDate status memo location subsidiary currency item (sublist: item, quantity, rate, amount, taxCode, taxRate, fulfillmentPreference)

Mapping Notes

Volusion's 'OrderID' maps to a custom field or external ID in NetSuite's 'Sales Order'. Line item details (SKU, quantity, price) require careful mapping to NetSuite 'Item' sublist. Payment status and shipping address also need precise synchronization.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
GET, POST, PUT /api/v1/orders Retrieve, create, and update customer orders for synchronization with NetSuite Sales Orders.
GET, POST, PUT /api/v1/products Manage product catalog, including creation, updates, pricing, and inventory levels for synchronization with NetSuite Items.
GET, POST, PUT /api/v1/customers Access and manage customer profiles for synchronization with NetSuite Customers.
GET, PUT /api/v1/inventory Dedicated endpoint for managing product stock levels, crucial for real-time inventory synchronization from NetSuite.
GET, POST /api/v1/payments Retrieve payment transaction details for financial reconciliation in NetSuite.
POST /api/v1/webhooks Configure and manage webhooks for event-driven integrations, enabling real-time notifications for new Volusion orders, product updates, etc.

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • Data Type Conversion: Convert string fields to numeric, date formats, or boolean as required by the target system (e.g., Volusion 'ProductStatus' to NetSuite 'isInactive' boolean).
  • Field Mapping & Enrichment: Map Volusion 'LineItems' to NetSuite 'Sales Order' sublist items, enriching with NetSuite internal IDs for products, locations, and subsidiaries.
  • Address Standardization: Parse and reformat shipping and billing addresses to conform to NetSuite's address structure and validation rules.
  • Conditional Logic: Apply business rules, such as assigning orders to specific NetSuite 'subsidiaries' or 'locations' based on Volusion order attributes (e.g., shipping region).
  • Currency Conversion: If operating in multiple currencies, apply real-time or scheduled currency conversion rates during financial data synchronization.
  • Pricing Tier Management: Map Volusion product prices to specific NetSuite 'Price Levels' based on customer segments or promotional rules.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • API Rate Limit Exceeded: iPaaS automatically retries with exponential backoff and queues further requests.
  • Invalid Data Format: AI/iPaaS validation flags the record, attempts auto-correction, or routes to a dead-letter queue.
  • NetSuite Record Lock: iPaaS retries the operation, potentially with a slight delay, to avoid concurrency issues.
  • Product SKU Mismatch: Alert is triggered, and the order line item is quarantined for manual SKU mapping or product creation.
  • Payment Gateway Failure: Volusion order status is updated, and an alert is sent for manual review or reprocessing of payment.
