How the connection works
Nectar creates each bill through the SuiteTalk REST record service —POST /services/rest/record/v1/vendorBill — against your account-specific domain ({accountId}.suitetalk.api.netsuite.com). Each vendorBill record references the entity (vendor), subsidiary, currency, and posts either item or expense sublists coded to the correct GL account and classification (department, class, location) from your GL coding rules. Where a bill relates to a purchase order, Nectar can use the PO transform endpoint (/purchaseOrder/{id}/!transform/vendorBill) to preserve the PO-to-bill link for three-way matching.
Nectar authenticates with token-based authentication (TBA) — your integration record’s consumer key/secret plus a token ID/secret — or OAuth 2.0 where your account is configured for it.

What your NetSuite team configures
Your NetSuite administrator typically:- Enables SuiteTalk (REST Web Services) and Token-Based Authentication under Setup > Company > Enable Features (SuiteCloud).
- Creates an integration record and a role with permission to create vendor bills, then issues the credentials (consumer key/secret and token ID/secret for TBA, or an OAuth 2.0 client).
- Provides the account ID, client ID, and client secret to your Nectar administrator.
- Confirms subsidiary, vendor (entity), currency, and GL account / classification (department, class, location) mappings for utility invoices.
FAQ
Which NetSuite editions are supported?
Which NetSuite editions are supported?
Any NetSuite account where you can enable SuiteTalk REST web services and provision integration credentials (TBA or OAuth 2.0) with permission to create vendor bills. Use your production or sandbox account ID as appropriate — each has its own account-specific SuiteTalk domain.
Can Nectar link a vendor bill to a purchase order?
Can Nectar link a vendor bill to a purchase order?
Yes. Where a utility bill maps to an existing purchase order, Nectar can create the vendor bill via the PO transform endpoint so the PO-to-bill relationship is preserved for three-way matching. Discuss PO matching requirements during onboarding.
