“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
NetSuite exports in legacy format due to historical architecture decisions and maintaining backward compatibility with older systems. The platform hasn’t modernized its export functionality, leaving users stuck with XML Spreadsheet 2003 format that creates compatibility issues.
Here’s why NetSuite maintains legacy formats and how to modernize your data workflows using current technology.
Modernize NetSuite data workflows with live connections
Coefficient modernizes NetSuite data workflows by eliminating dependence on NetSuite’s export functionality. Direct API connections using modern protocols deliver data in current Excel formats with real-time synchronization and cloud-based collaboration support.
How to make it work
Step 1. Replace file-based exports with API connections.
Set up OAuth 2.0 authentication to connect directly to NetSuite’s API instead of relying on the legacy export system. This modern protocol provides secure, real-time access to all your NetSuite data without file downloads.
Step 2. Import data in current Excel formats.
Select your NetSuite records, reports, or saved searches and import directly into Excel. Data arrives in native XLSX format with proper data types, supporting all modern Excel features like dynamic arrays and advanced formulas.
Step 3. Enable automated synchronization.
Configure refresh schedules to keep data current automatically. Your spreadsheets stay synchronized with NetSuite changes without manual exports or file conversions, bringing your accounting processes into the modern era.
Bring your NetSuite data into the modern era
Transform from file-based exports to live connections that support current technology standards. Coefficient eliminates legacy format issues while providing the real-time data access modern businesses need. Modernize your workflow and leave legacy export problems behind.
