# Sales Order transaction sync

Integration that syncs NetSuite Sales Orders and automates the creation of Zuora Subscriptions

## Overview

This integration syncs NetSuite Sales Orders and automates the creation of Zuora Subscriptions. Only sales orders generated with Zuora Product Rate Plan Items will be synced. See [Using a Sales Order to Create a New Subscription](/docs/platform/integration/integration-hub/advanced-connectors/billing-connector-for-netsuite-gl/integration-between-zuora-and-netsuite/sales-order-transaction-sync/use-a-sales-order-to-create-a-new-subscription) for instructions.

## About the Sales Order transaction sync

* The transaction sync will create one subscription per sales order.
* On the sales order, you can select one or more items that correspond to Zuora product rate plans.
* The Zuora product catalog is used to manage all subscription pricing.
* Zuora products and rate plans and existing NetSuite items can coexist in the NetSuite item master.
* Subscription management including invoice generation and subscription amendments and renewals will be performed in Zuora.
* You can provide the **Contract Effective**, **Service Activation**, **Customer Acceptance**, and **Term Start Date** in NetSuite before the record is synced, or in Zuora after the subscription is created.
* We do not currently support the ability to create amendments in NetSuite.

Net, refer to [Use a Sales Order to create a new subscription](/docs/platform/integration/integration-hub/advanced-connectors/billing-connector-for-netsuite-gl/integration-between-zuora-and-netsuite/sales-order-transaction-sync/use-a-sales-order-to-create-a-new-subscription).

## Why isn't the Sales Order integration real time?

* Typically, sales orders are integrated with other parts of NetSuite functionality (shipping/fulfillment) and external provisioning systems.
* When a sales order is ready to be sent, it is a best practice for these processes to set the **Send to Zuora** flag automatically instead of requiring manual interaction to log in and click a button to sync the record.
* A common customer profile is a high volume, high complexity subscription business. It is not practical to manually enter all sales orders with high-volume businesses.
