Import Custom Fields

The following information can be imported from NetSuite to DHL Express Commerce when the values are stored in custom fields with designated script ids:

• Delivery Instructions - custbody_delivery_instructions (Text Custom Field)
• Authority To Leave - custbody_authority_to_leave (Boolean Custom Field)
• Signature Required - custbody_signature_required (Boolean Custom Field)

Troubleshooting

The NetSuite API limits each NetSuite user to a single API connection based on the user's login credentials. This can cause DHL Express Commerce that use a NetSuite connection to fail with the following errors if other calls are made to the NetSuite API using the same credentials:

• Only one request may be made against a session at a time
• The operation has timed out

If the error occurred while updating your NetSuite orders, then DHL Express Commerce will try to update these orders again in a scheduled fashion to ensure the orders are being updated in NetSuite.

Alternatively, you can purchase concurrent connection licenses from NetSuite which will permit simultaneous requests from the same user account.

For temporary testing purposes, you can point DHL Express Commerce to your NetSuite sandbox environment by appending the sandbox Id to to your Web Service Account Id, e.g. '1234567_SB1' (this has '_SB1' appended).
