Amazon Listings API Categories in NetSuite Connector

The Amazon connector in NetSuite Connector now supports mapping to categories taken from Amazon Listings API.

You can add a category in Amazon connector > Mappings > Products screen by clicking the Category drop-down list and selecting Add Category.

The enhancement to Amazon categories in Amazon connector is slowly being rolled out to NetSuite Connector users.
