I am currently in the process of building a connection from Netsuite to our 3PL platform. Currently I am using event script where it watches for sales order creation (after submit), then send out the payload to our 3PL.
Is there any other alternative approaches that anyone here can recommend me using?

03/30/2023, 1:14 AMHey Ken...definitely a few ways to do this. On SO create is one. Scheduled for anything created older than X so you don't have to flag afterwards....or flag them in batches like @battk recommended

03/30/2023, 1:15 AMmy issue with sending SOs to the 3PL, is then Netsuite is not controlling what gets allocated. The 3PL is. I've done a few of these integrations where the SO is created, then IF is created in Netsuite and its the IF that actually gets pushed to the 3PL

03/30/2023, 11:53 PM@AK47 I see I will think about the approach. How well does it hold up? We're currently experiencing the issue you talked about.

04/05/2023, 2:27 AM@Ken sorry, been away. I don't have issues with sending fulfillments to the 3PL instead of SOs. Only what is fulfilled on the SO is sent to the 3PL to ship. If an SO has a second fulfillment for the balance, a second IF is sent over.

04/05/2023, 2:27 AMNot sure what you mean about lost item...but if a fulfillment needed to be reshipped for some reason, it usually requires a new SO and a new IF
