What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents broken 856 ASNs by guiding you to configure the SuiteApp’s Packaging Data Source when a customer’s carton/item data lives in non-standard NetSuite custom records instead of the SuiteApp’s native carton records.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Builds a validation mapping from real data: identifies candidate carton custom records, samples an Item Fulfillment with carton data, and confirms how carton-detail rows resolve to NetSuite item internal IDs.
• Generates a flat validation CSV: produces a CSV with the exact connector column label contract (including required columns and correct types) so you can prove the mapping before enabling anything.
• Authors and versions the NetSuite Analytics Dataset: walks you through building the Analytics Dataset in the UI, then pulling it back via SDF for version control and environment promotion.
• Wires the customer configuration: sets the customer’s Packaging Data Source entity field so SuiteApp-generated 856s consume the dataset.

Quick Start

Use the alternative-packing-source skill for a customer who already has their own carton custom records and asks to configure Packaging Data Source for 856 ASNs.
