Manual reconciliation between NetSuite vendor database and Google Sheets wastes hours comparing spreadsheet data against system records. Automated data synchronization creates a single source of truth that eliminates reconciliation entirely.
Here’s how to set up automated vendor data consistency that removes manual comparison work and ensures procurement decisions use current NetSuite information.
Create single source of truth vendor data using Coefficient
Coefficient eliminates manual reconciliation by creating automated data synchronization between NetSuite and Google Sheets. This addresses the common procurement challenge where teams waste time comparing spreadsheet data against NetSuite records. Your Google Sheets becomes a live view of NetSuite vendor data rather than a separate system requiring reconciliation.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up automated data consistency.
Configure scheduled refreshes to ensure Google Sheets always reflects current NetSuite vendor information. When vendor information changes in NetSuite – payment terms, contact updates, status changes – those updates automatically flow to your spreadsheet based on your refresh schedule. This eliminates the need for manual data comparison.
Step 2. Control field mapping to prevent data misalignment.
Use drag-and-drop column ordering and field selection to prevent data misalignment issues. The data preview functionality shows exactly what will be imported before sync, eliminating surprises. This controlled mapping ensures your Google Sheets structure matches your NetSuite vendor data exactly.
Step 3. Import custom fields for complete data parity.
Include NetSuite custom vendor fields to maintain complete data parity between systems. This ensures your spreadsheet contains all the vendor information available in NetSuite, not just standard fields. Complete data parity eliminates the need to cross-reference multiple systems during procurement decisions.
Step 4. Validate data accuracy with real-time preview.
The real-time validation through data preview shows exactly what will be imported before sync. This eliminates human error in data comparison and reduces time spent on administrative tasks. Your procurement decisions are based on current NetSuite vendor database information rather than potentially outdated spreadsheet data.
