NetSuite Integration

Syncs Volāre business records (clients, suppliers, bookings, payments) to NetSuite ERP via the REST API, using queue-based jobs with automatic retry and a polymorphic sync tracking system.

When to Use

• Sync client, supplier, booking, and payment data to NetSuite for accounting
• Monitor sync status and retry failures from the Filament admin panel
• Reconcile local records against NetSuite to detect drift
• Create service items in NetSuite for booking upsell line items

Architecture

Model (with HasNetsuiteSync trait)
  -> Sync Job dispatched to `netsuite-sync` queue
    -> AbstractNetsuiteSyncJob.handle()
      -> NetsuiteClient (REST requests with retry + 401 re-auth)
        -> NetsuiteAuthenticationService (OAuth 2.0 JWT assertion, cached token)
      -> NetsuiteSync record updated (Pending -> Syncing -> Synced/Failed)

Key components:

• NetsuiteAuthenticationService – OAuth 2.0 client_credentials flow with EC256 JWT assertion. Tokens are cached with a 5-minute buffer before expiry.
• NetsuiteClient – REST client with configurable timeout, retry (with backoff), automatic 401 re-authentication, typed error handling (429 rate limit, 400/422 validation, 5xx server errors), and structured logging with credential sanitization.
• NetsuiteSyncRegistry – Maps model types to their sync job class and NetSuite REST endpoint. Used by Artisan commands to dispatch jobs generically.
• NetsuiteSync model – Polymorphic sync tracking. Stores netsuite_id, external_id, status, payload, attempts, and error.
• HasNetsuiteSync trait – Applied to Booking, Client, Payment, Supplier. Provides netsuiteSync() relation, getOrCreateNetsuiteSync(), and needsNetsuiteSync().

Record Mappings

Volāre Model	NetSuite Record	REST Endpoint	Sync Job
Client	Customer	/record/v1/customer	SyncClientToNetsuiteJob
Supplier	Vendor	/record/v1/vendor	SyncSupplierToNetsuiteJob
Booking	Invoice	/record/v1/invoice	SyncBookingToNetsuiteJob
Payment	CustomerPayment	/record/v1/customerPayment	SyncPaymentToNetsuiteJob
Booking upsells	VendorBill	/record/v1/vendorBill	SyncVendorBillToNetsuiteJob

The registry (NetsuiteSyncRegistry) covers the first four. SyncVendorBillToNetsuiteJob is standalone – it groups a booking’s upsells by supplier and creates one Vendor Bill per supplier, using contract cost prices when available.

Sync Status Lifecycle

Tracked by NetsuiteSyncStatus enum:

• Pending – Awaiting sync (initial state, or reset for retry)
• Syncing – Job is currently executing
• Synced – Successfully synced, netsuite_id is populated
• Failed – Sync failed, error field has details
• Skipped – Intentionally excluded from sync

Source: backend/app/Enums/NetsuiteSyncStatus.php

Business Rules

• Dependency ordering: Client must be synced before its Booking or Payment. Supplier must be synced before its VendorBill. Jobs throw RuntimeException if the dependency is missing.
• Idempotency: Each model gets a deterministic externalId (volare_{table}_{id}). POST creates new records, PUT updates existing ones (when netsuite_id is already set).
• Retry: Jobs retry up to 3 times with backoff (30s, 60s, 180s). After all retries, the sync record is marked Failed. Non-retryable errors (e.g., validation) fail immediately without retrying.
• Rate limiting: 429 responses release the job back to the queue with the Retry-After delay (default 60s). The sync record stays Pending during the wait.
• Currency mapping: ISO codes mapped to NetSuite internal IDs in config/netsuite.php (currencies key). Currently: EUR, USD, CAD, GBP.
• Invoice line items: Built from BookingUpsell records, mapped to NetSuite service items by upsell type. Falls back to a single “Flight” line if no upsells exist.
• Vendor Bill cost: Looks up SupplierContractService price from the active contract valid at booking date.

Artisan Commands

netsuite:sync-all

Dispatch sync jobs for all unsynced records.

vendor/bin/sail artisan netsuite:sync-all
vendor/bin/sail artisan netsuite:sync-all --model=client --limit=100
vendor/bin/sail artisan netsuite:sync-all --force  # re-sync already synced records

netsuite:retry-failed

Re-dispatch jobs for failed or pending sync records.

vendor/bin/sail artisan netsuite:retry-failed
vendor/bin/sail artisan netsuite:retry-failed --status=pending --model=booking --limit=50
vendor/bin/sail artisan netsuite:retry-failed --status=all

netsuite:reconcile

Compare local sync records against NetSuite. Reports verified, missing, and errored records.

vendor/bin/sail artisan netsuite:reconcile
vendor/bin/sail artisan netsuite:reconcile --fix  # reset stuck/failed records

The --fix flag resets “syncing” records older than 1 hour to Failed, then resets all Failed records to Pending.

netsuite:sync-service-items

Create service items in NetSuite for each upsell type (flight, hotel, activity, transfer, insurance, flight_upgrade). Outputs the NETSUITE_ITEM_* env vars to add to .env.

vendor/bin/sail artisan netsuite:sync-service-items

Source: backend/app/Console/Commands/

Filament Admin

NetsuiteSyncMonitor page

Admin-only page under System > NetSuite Sync. Shows a table of all NetsuiteSync records with:

• Filters by status and model type
• Retry action on failed records (resets to Pending)
• Auto-polls every 30 seconds

NetsuiteSyncStatsWidget

Stats overview (total, synced, failed, pending) displayed as header widget on the monitor page.

Adding a New Syncable Model

1. Add the trait to your model: use HasNetsuiteSync;
2. Create a sync job extending AbstractNetsuiteSyncJob. Implement buildPayload(), getEndpoint(), and getRecordType().
3. Register in NetsuiteSyncRegistry::MODELS with the model class, job class, and NetSuite endpoint.
4. Run netsuite:sync-all --model=yourmodel to dispatch.

Source: backend/app/Jobs/Netsuite/AbstractNetsuiteSyncJob.php for the base job contract.

Exception Hierarchy

All exceptions extend NetsuiteException and implement isRetryable():

Exception	HTTP Status	Retryable	Description
NetsuiteException	any	No	Base exception for all NetSuite errors
NetsuiteAuthenticationException	401	Yes	OAuth token expired or credentials invalid
NetsuiteTimeoutException	–	Yes	Connection timeout
NetsuiteRateLimitException	429	Yes	Rate limit exceeded, carries retryAfter delay
NetsuiteValidationException	400/422	No	Payload validation failed, carries validationErrors

Source: backend/app/Exceptions/Services/Netsuite/

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause	Fix
InvalidArgumentException: NetSuite account ID is not configured	Missing env vars	Set NETSUITE_ACCOUNT_ID, NETSUITE_CLIENT_ID, NETSUITE_CERTIFICATE_ID
NetsuiteAuthenticationException: Private key file not found	Key not deployed	Place EC256 private key at NETSUITE_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH (default: storage/netsuite/private.pem)
NetsuiteValidationException on sync	Invalid payload data	Check the error field on the sync record for NetSuite validation details
NetsuiteRateLimitException	Too many API calls	Job auto-retries after delay; reduce batch size in netsuite:sync-all --limit
RuntimeException: Client must be synced before booking	Dependency not synced	Sync clients first: netsuite:sync-all --model=client, then bookings
Sync stuck in “Syncing” state	Job crashed mid-execution	Run netsuite:reconcile --fix to reset stuck records
401 after token refresh	Certificate/credentials rotated in NetSuite	Update NETSUITE_CLIENT_ID, NETSUITE_CLIENT_SECRET, NETSUITE_CERTIFICATE_ID in .env
