This app template uses Netsuite version 2021.2
or higher as source system. NetSuite has two data model configurations: SuiteTalk and SuiteQL. Both SuiteTalk and SuiteQL schemas are used in this app template and both need to be extracted.
Extraction for the system is done using CData Sync. To set-up the extraction, make sure you have a valid license for CData Sync and have installed CData Sync.
To be able to connect to Netsuite, certain features need to be enabled in Netsuite and a role should be created with the correct access. Furthermore a custom saved search needs to be created in Netsuite.
In NetSuite, go to Setup -> Company -> Enable Features and enable the following in the SuiteCloud tab:
A role should be created for connecting to NetSuite to extract the data. This role must have the permissions that are listed in CData's documentation for their NetSuite connector. Use a naming convention for the role that would be memorable, like CData Extractor
. Create a token for this role to use in the extraction and note down the details.
One of the required tables must be created in NetSuite as a custom saved search. The custom saved search titled transaction item change log
utilizes the Line System Notes Fields... in order to bring in line item level changes into the app template. Follow these steps in order to create the necessary saved search in NetSuite:
Go to Lists -> Search -> Saved Searches -> New. Choose Transaction
for the Search Type. Under Search Title type in transaction item change log
.
Line System Notes: Context
. Choose none of and -None-.Under the Results tab, add the following fields:
Field |
---|
Line Unique Key |
Transaction Number |
Line System Notes: Context |
Line System Notes: Date |
Line System Notes: Field |
Line System Notes: New Value |
Line System Notes: Old Value |
Line System Notes: Record |
Line System Notes: Record ID |
Line System Notes: Record Type |
Line System Notes: Role |
Line System Notes: Set by |
Line System Notes: Type |
Department |
Status |
Vendor: Country |
Vendor: Company Name |
Click Save & Run to save the search and look at the results.
A JavaScript file, called search_script.js
, must be added to NetSuite in order for RESTlet Saved Search Queries to work. Follow the steps from the CData documentation to set this up to be able to query the transaction item change log
Saved Search. After following the steps, note down the SearchId, ScriptId, and DeploymentNum. These are necessary to set up the extraction connection for SuiteTalk.
In order for filtering on dates to work, the date format in NetSuite should be used in the extraction configuration. Go to NetSuite -> SetUp -> Company -> General Preferences and make note of the date format (MM/DD/YYYY
for instance). When configuring the data extraction job in CData, the dates in the date extraction range need to be specified in the same format.
To be able to extract data from NetSuite, two source connections need to be created in CData Sync, one for SuiteTalk and one for SuiteQL.
To set up the destination connection, follow the steps as defined in Create a destination connection (Automation Cloud). Note: If you are using Automation Suite, make sure to select AUTOMATION SUITE
as the DELIVERY
option and select the correct version of Automation Suite you are using.
To be able to extract the data from NetSuite, two jobs need to be set up in CData Sync, one using SuiteTalk as source and one using SuiteQL. Both will use the same destination connection.
In the Advanced tab in the Job Settings panel, define the following settings:
Important: Make sure you edit the Pre-job Event.
CData Sync allows the use of environment variables in order to drive specific extraction logic in each query.
Variable | Description | Comment |
---|---|---|
start_extraction_date | Defines first date for which data will be extracted. | Mandatory |
end_extraction_date | Last date for which data will be extracted. |
Be mindful of choosing a start_extraction_date
that encompasses the data that you want to capture, as orders are the starting point of the purchase to pay process.
In order to setup the environment variables:
Step | Action |
---|---|
1 | Go to the Events tab in the Job Settings panel of the job you are creating |
2 | Edit the Pre-Job Event section to add the code displayed below after <!-- Code goes here -- > . Do not modify the api:info details that are shown by default. |
3 | Make sure the date format matches the date format of NetSuite as noted down in the system configuration. |
4 | Click on Save Changes. |
<!-- Modify environment variables here. -->
<!-- Variable start_extraction_date must be populated.-->
<api:set attr="out.env:start_extraction_date" value="01/01/2022" />
<!-- In case a specific end date is needed, replace the value string with the required date in the Date format listed in NetSuite. -->
<!-- i.e api:set attr="out.env:end_extraction_date" value="01/01/2022" -->
<api:set attr="out.env:end_extraction_date" value= '12/31/3000' />
<api:push item="out" />
By default, end_extraction_date
will default to today's date. start_extraction_date
must always be populated.
Once the job is correctly setup, click on Add Custom Query under the Tasks tab and paste the following queries (each query needs to maintain the semicolon at the end). Make sure you save all changes.
Use the following custom query for SuiteQL when creating the job:

The model Events_base
, located in the 3_events
directory, is a union of all the outputs from the other models in the 3_events
directory. Each event is unique and corresponds to one ID (i.e. Purchase order ID, Purchase order item ID, etc.).
This seed file is used to add automation-related properties to each activity, used for the automation potential dashboard. For more information, see Simulating Automation Potential.

NetSuite SuiteQL relies on some incredibly large tables for its data, which can be filtered by specifying the record types required. Not filtering on these can cause a lot of performance issues, and will replicate a lot of superfluous data.
If you plan on using CSV files and are going to be using the SQL Query Editor for exporting the SuiteQL tables, the SQL Query Editor tool only allows for up to 5,000 rows to be exported in each query. If more rows are needed, one can filter based on date, and add the results together into a larger file.
Filtering the transactionline table is important, as it can be a rather large table if one does not. However, this requires joining the transactionline and transaction tables in order to filter transactionline to only include the transaction types that are listed in the filtering above. Please use the custom query for the CData job for transactionline in order to filter correctly.
DELETE
activities like Delete purchase order or Delete invoice will only appear in the process graph if the case has been deleted after the initial data has been pulled. Deleted orders and invoices will appear in the transactionhistory
table, but will be removed from the transaction
, transactionline
, systemnote
, and transaction_item_change_log
tables.
NetSuite is structurally built around the header level, so tracking item level changes requires utilizing a mixture of SuiteTalk and SuiteQL Schemas to find and pull the requisite data for process mining.
If you encounter errors when running a job that states column not found, go to the Advanced tab of the NetSuite Connection and set the Row Scan Depth: to 0
CData Sync may exhibit some issues in filtering the extraction tables on multiple values, so this is something to keep in mind if you do encounter similar issues. Minor changes to the filtering clause may cause it to work correctly if this issue is encountered.
