Proposal summary
This proposal describes the Backing cards image updates in NetSuite.
Requirement
The requirement is to change the image folder used for Backing card images to SCA image folder(Web Site Hosting Files > Live Hosting Files > SSP Applications > NetSuite Inc. – SCA 2019.1 > Development > img)
Our Solution
The Requirement can be achieved by creating a new custom field in item record to store the item images from SCA folder(eb Site Hosting Files > Live Hosting Files > SSP Applications > NetSuite Inc. – SCA 2019.1 > Development > img).
We will deploy one scheduled script which will be scheduled for every day at a specific time. The script will check AU, USA and CA item records with the null value/wrong image as per website image naming criteria in the new custom field and update custom fields in these item records. The script will get the image from the SCA folder by filename that contains specific keywords as defined in the website record.
Then we will update the Backing Card script to fetch the image from the new custom field.
Note:
- If the associated image contains multiple images, the script will set the first image in the new custom field and other images will not be considered.
Risk
- Since the script is scheduled once a day so there will be a delay in updating the image on the item record. And this will cause to display wrong image in the Backing Card
- User has to ensure that all the images from the Ecommerce folder are in the same Image resolution.
- The backing Card functionality is defined for AU, USA, and CA subsidiaries. So we will consider the items of AU, USA, and CA subsidiaries to update the image on daily basis as per the image from the Website folder.
- The script will refer to the active Website record and the mentioned Ecommerce Folder to populate the image. So the script has to be updated if the Website record/folder changes in future
- Matrix item is not considered in this scope as matrix items are not actively used in the business
