Overview

Our integration with NetSuite allows you to easily transfer information from Volopay to NetSuite, ensuring your spend data is current and accurate.

Enhanced integration features include:

Vendor Creation: Volopay has the capability to recognize and add new vendors that are not yet listed in your NetSuite instance. These new vendors will be displayed in NetSuite's Vendor column labeled as "New:..." and will be created during the synchronization process.

Custom Fields and Segments: Volopay is equipped to import all relevant fields from NetSuite, including any custom fields, to ensure thorough transaction coding.

Default AP Account: You have the option to designate a default Accounts Payable (AP) account for reimbursements that are synchronized from Volopay.

NetSuite Setup

Enable the following features:

Under Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features navigate to the SuiteCloud subtab. Enable the required features:

  • SuiteScripts

    • Client SuiteScript

    • Server SuiteScript

  • Manage Authentication

    • Token Based Authentication

    • OAUTH 2.0

Step 2: Create and set up a role for the user based on the required permissions.

Step 3: Creating the Integration Record - the application for Token Based Authentication this is how you will retrieve the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret

Very Important! At the end of this step, you must save the values for Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. You will not be able to retrieve them once you leave the confirmation screen. If you do not save these values, you will need to repeat Step 3 again.

Before connecting with a token, an integration record is required for authentication. A new integration record should be used and can be created by navigating to Setup > Integrations > Manage Integrations > New.

The name field should be filled in along with ensuring that the ‘TOKEN-BASED AUTHENTICATION (TBA)’ checkbox is checked. You can uncheck 'USER CREDENTIALS' if you want users to authenticate only using tokens. You may name the integration whatever you wish, such as "Volopay Integration" or "Volopay App".

Upon saving you will be given a Consumer Key / Consumer Secret.

Note: Save these values for Consumer Key and Consumer Secret. You will not be able to retrieve them once you leave this screen. If you do not save these values, you will need to repeat Step 3 again.
