Summer’s already half over, and for many it can be a time for vacation and stepping away from the desk more frequently. Here at Zoey, we have taken advantage of this opportunity to implement some important data management updates to smooth out and evolve how data moves from one system to another.

For our sellers, this should make for more options, and easier ways to work with data, as they return to the office for their next round of work. And in the case of our NetSuite integration, some of the most significant changes have happened in the last couple of months, continuing to strengthen what already is a powerful tool for those who need both Zoey and NetSuite to run their business.

With that in mind, here’s the latest updates for Zoey for June and July, 2023:

NetSuite Integration Improvements

One of our main areas of focus in recent months has been a number of improvements to our NetSuite integration. Over time, we continue to extend the ability to work with NetSuite more tightly, and with more options based on various business cases.

Here are some of the recent updates for our NetSuite integration:

• We’ve added the ability to automatically assign a default shipping and payment method on the NetSuite Configuration page, speeding up Account setup.
• Line items have been made available in the NetSuite integration for taxes and payment surcharges.

• We now allow a Default Currency to be selected and incorporated into the Product Group Price Import.
• Account attribute Sales Channel, when configured as a dropdown, can now map to the NetSuite Order Class field.
• Region and Country IDs can be set to a custom field.
• The ability to flag products to not perform an exchange rate against them has also been added.

Data Management Enhancements

While NetSuite got a lot of attention, so did other aspects of managing data within Zoey. Particular areas of focus included more control over certain actions taken (including when certain emails will fire, and what can be included within them), as well as more delimiter options for both importing and exporting CSVs with our Data Mapper tool.
