Manage Inventory Quantity

Overview

There are multiple ways to replenish and adjust inventory quantity for Owned Inventory.

  1. Sync Quantity via Integration or API

    1. Sync Quantity via Integration is a good solution when you have a way to upload or integrate your inventory levels to Flxpoint on a regular basis. If you can't update your quantities as often as you'd like, try using Committed Stock.
  2. Manually Adjust Quantity and Commit Stock

    1. Manually Adjust Quantity and Commit Stock is a good solution when you do not have a way to import your quantity into Flxpoint, and need a way to manually enter the quantity received from your Stocking Fulfillment Requests or Transfer Order directly in Flxpoint.

Syncing Quantity via Integration

Syncing quantity via an integration is Flxpoint's standard approach to updating inventory quantity. There are two integration processes that support this.

  1. Get Inventory - Primary

    1. Create or update full product data, including images, attributes, etc.
  2. Get Inventory - Secondary

    1. Update pricing & quantity data only

There are also different "Integration Types" you can choose, but typically when using Owned Inventory you might use:

See other integrations and learn more about Integrating a Source.

If you can't update your quantities as often as you'd like, try using Committed Stock. This will decrease your In Stock inventory until you have released it. You can release your committed stock by either:

  • updating quantity via integration AND uploading a shipment
  • ONLY uploading a shipment

Manually Adjusting Quantity and Committing Stock

After Build Stocking Manifest, Stocking Fulfillment Requests and/or Transfer Orders will be generated.

Once these are "Processed" (sent to your Source), then you will have the ability to start adjusting quantity.

Adjusting Quantity and Committing Stock

When you manually adjust quantity and commit stock, you MUST:

  • Manually adjust quantity to "Receive" the incoming inventory and increase your In Stock quantity.
  • Enable Committed Stock for your Internal Warehouse; specifically use the "After an update in quantity and shipments import" option. This will ensure each PO/FR will decrement the on-hand quantity properly.

Adjusting Quantity

PO Status For a Stocking PO or Transfer Order must be "Processed" before you will see the "Incoming Inventory" section
Receive  A way to adjust the Stocking PO/Transfer Order to decrease the incoming quantity and increase the In Stock quantity
Void A way to adjust the Stocking PO/Transfer Order to decrease incoming quantity. This doesn't impact the In Stock quantity and is typically used when the Source mistakenly didn't send enough.
Incoming The remaining quantity you are expecting to receive from your Stocking PO/Transfer Order. It calculated by: Ordered Quantity - Received Quantity - Voided Quantity = Incoming Quantity
Stocking Manifest A button that will direct you to the Stocking Manifest where this Stocking PO/Transfer Order originated.

From the "Stocking Manifest", you have the option to "Receive" the entire Stocking FR/Transfer Order - rather than entering the quantity for each line item. Just another way to quickly receive your inventory for the entire FR.

Once all items on any Stocking Fulfillment Request or Transfer Orders have been fully "received" and/or "voided", the Stocking Manifest will be closed and the "Received" status will show accordingly.
