Overview
This guide provides an overview of the Extend Product Protection SuiteApp. The Extend Product Protection SuiteApp offers a SuiteScript customization to automate the creation of Extend Product Protection contracts in NetSuite. Implementation of this solution will focus on the following key touch points of the order to cash process:
| ID | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Creating an ‘Extend Product Protection Item’ |
| 3 | Storing Extend API Credentials |
| 4 | Creating an Extend Product Protection Contract |
| 6 | Refunding an Extend Contract |
Scope
The scope of this document is to provide an overview of the Extend Product Protection SuiteApp as well as the installation and setup steps required to utilize the solution. The Extend Product Protection SuiteApp offers a customization to sync NetSuite core records with Extend product plan and Product Protection contract data.
The integration will be outbound from NetSuite, calling Extend API’s. The scope of those calls are:
- Create Order
- Update Order
- Refund Contract
The solution will store sensitive Extend API key information for production and/or sandbox. Only a client administrator should be able to maintain this information.
Environment Assumptions
- Extend store will already be created
- NetSuite features enabled (_ is to reference required features):
- Custom Records
- Client SuiteScript_
- Server SuiteScript_
- SuiteCloud Development Framework
- Sales Orders_
- Inventory*
Solution Assumptions
- A singular non-inventory item for sale will be created to represent the Product Protection plan. This will allow scaling of SKU management for new Product Protection offers
- A NetSuite Sales Order will only support a 1 to 1 mapping between item ordered and the plan covering that Item. This solution does and should not support an item quantity greater than the item is associated with a Product Protection plan
- A singular non-inventory item for sale will be created to represent the Shipping Protection plan. This will allow scaling of SKU management
