The Fyle-NetSuite integration allows Admins to seamlessly import employee records from NetSuite to Fyle, ensuring accurate data synchronization. This integration not only creates employees in Fyle but also automatically updates or disables employees when changes occur in NetSuite, eliminating the need for manual updates.

Benefits of Importing Employees via the Integration

  • Automated Employee Sync: Imports employee records and disables them in Fyle if marked as Inactive/Terminated in NetSuite.

  • Real-Time Data Updates: Auto-syncs key details such as name, email, supervisor, department, and location every 24 hours.

  • Existing Employees Mapping: If employees already exist in Fyle, their data (e.g., Primary Approver, Department) will be updated based on NetSuite records.

How to Import Employees from NetSuite to Fyle

Select Employees to Import from NetSuite

  1. Ensure the latest version of the Fyle-NetSuite bundle is installed. (Check how to update it here)

  2. In NetSuite, go to Lists > Employees > Employees.

  3. Open an employee record, navigate to Access, and check "Allow Access to Fyle".

  4. Click Save.

Only employees with this option enabled will be imported. For bulk updates, follow the steps in the provided video.

Enable Auto-Create Employee in Fyle

  1. Log in to Fyle-NetSuite Integration as an Admin.

  2. Navigate to Configuration > Advanced Settings.

  3. Enable Auto Create Employee in Fyle and click Save.

Once enabled, the integration will begin importing new employees or mapping existing ones in Fyle. This process may take a few seconds, depending on the number of employees being imported.

Auto-Sync of Employee Data

With auto-sync enabled, the following fields in Fyle will be updated based on NetSuite:

  • Employee Name

  • Primary Approver (Supervisor in NetSuite)

  • Email ID (Required for import)

  • Department

  • Location

  • Employee Status (Employees will be disabled in Fyle if they are marked Inactive/Terminated in NetSuite.)

Sync Frequency: Every 24 hours (or manually by clicking the Sync button in the Integration).

Important Considerations

  • Email ID is mandatory for import; employees without an email in NetSuite will not be imported.

  • Email IDs must be unique—duplicate emails will cause import failures.

  • Supervisors (Primary Approvers) must be active in NetSuite for successful import.

  • Employee mapping between Fyle and NetSuite will be completed only after employees verify their Fyle account.
