# Connecting NetSuite

Connect NetSuite when your accounting team wants Essential invoices, payments, refunds, and accounting activity to sync into NetSuite.

NetSuite setup may require Essential configuration. If NetSuite is not visible under Settings > Invoicing > Accounting, open the Essential Assistant and choose the Talk to a human tab so Essential can enable and configure the provider for your business.

## Before setup

Have a NetSuite administrator available. Confirm the subsidiary, currency, tax setup, revenue accounts, payment accounts, and any departments, classes, or locations your accounting team wants Essential to use.

## Connect and test

Open Settings, then go to Invoicing and Accounting. Choose NetSuite, then select Connect. Sign in to NetSuite, authorize Essential, and return to Essential to finish setup.

Choose a sync start date, review the default sync behavior, and complete account mapping before turning on automatic sync. Run a test sync first so the accounting team can confirm records land in the right place.

After the first sync, review synced invoices, payments, refunds, and journal entries in NetSuite. If anything maps to the wrong account, update the mapping in Essential before running the next sync.

> **Where to find it:** Settings > Invoicing > Accounting > NetSuite, once enabled for your business

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://learn.withessential.com/reporting-and-integrations/accounting/connecting-netsuite.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
