SCIS Website Setup Record, Search Index and Field Sets

After installation of the required SuiteCommerce InStore (SCIS) bundles and enabling the proper features, the NetSuite Admin needs to create the Website Setup Record to continue the NetSuite configuration process. This record controls website settings and how the site searches, cart options, site images, and subsidiary information.

This creation process is similar to creating a Website Setup Record for a SuiteCommerce site. However, there are a few additional SCIS configuration steps and helpful hints from experience included in this article.

Creating the SCIS Website Setup Record

This article assumes the user has already set up the Required Features and SCIS. Please follow these instructions if that has not been completed yet.

As mentioned above, the user needs to create a Website Setup Record to control and operate the SCIS site. To do so, follow these steps:

Step 1: Navigate to the Website Setup Record through the field path Commerce > Websites > Website Lists. Click New and select the button next to SuiteCommerce InStore.

Step 2: Set up the SuiteCommerce Instore Website Setup Record.

Important: Do not configure the Field Sets or Search Index tabs. You will complete this after creating the Website Setup Record.

Step 3: For SCIS specifically, navigate to the Shopping tab and check the Include Out of Stock Items in Webstore. If this is not checked, the SCIS Clerk cannot view out-of-stock items available in other stores.

Step 4: In the Touchpoints tab, only add the View Homepage touchpoint with the SuiteCommerce Instore application.

Step 5: Click Save on the Website Setup Record when complete.

Configuring the SCIS Search Index and Field Sets

SCIS documentation from NetSuite shows a path on describing how to run a script to update these tabs manually.

Upon following these steps according to the linked documentation above, the following error surfaced. It was more efficient to add the SCIS field sets manually from another functioning SCIS environment.

This process can be lengthy for normal SuiteCommerce sites, but since SCIS has limited customizability, this task only takes 20-30 minutes to complete. On your SCIS Website Setup Record, please copy the settings for the Search Index tab and Field Sets tab as shown below.
