Each Flxpoint plan allots a designated number of SKUs to your account. If your account exceeds this allotment, Flxpoint may charge SKU overage fees.

This guide covers how to:

• Understand how your Total SKU Count is calculated
• Locate your SKU counts across Source Inventory, Product Catalog, and Channel Listings
• Reduce SKU count by deleting unneeded SKUs
• Prevent unwanted SKUs from reimporting using Do Not Import rules

1. How Total SKU Count Is Calculated

Your Total SKU Count is determined by the highest number of SKUs in any one of the following sections of your Flxpoint account:

• Source Inventory
• Product Catalog
• Channel Listings

Your billable SKU count is the largest of these three numbers.

Examples

Account A

• Source Inventory: 200,000 variants
• Product Catalog: 150,000 variants
• Channel Listings: 300,000 listings
• Total SKU Count = 300,000 SKUs (highest value)

Account B

• Source Inventory: 400,000 variants
• Product Catalog: 100,000 variants
• Channel Listings: 50,000 listings
• Total SKU Count = 400,000 SKUs (highest value)

2. How to Calculate Your Total SKU Count

To calculate your total SKU count in Flxpoint, you'll retrieve SKU counts from each section and then compare them.

Step-by-Step

Source Inventory

1. Navigate to Source Inventory.
2. Click Calculate Total (located to the right of the search bar).
3. Note the total number of variants shown.

Product Catalog

1. Navigate to Product Catalog.
2. Click Calculate Total.
3. Note the total number of variants shown.

Channel Listings

1. Navigate to Channel Listings.
2. Click Calculate Total.
3. Note the total number of listings shown.

Determine Your Total SKU Count

Compare the three numbers you recorded. Your Total SKU Count is the highest number among:

• Source Inventory total
• Product Catalog total
• Channel Listings total

3. Strategies to Reduce Your Total SKU Count

To stay within your plan's SKU limits (or reduce overage charges), use this process:

1. Identify unneeded SKUs
2. Delete those SKUs
3. Prevent them from reimporting moving forward using Do Not Import rules

3.1 Identify Unneeded SKUs

Use filters and searches in each section to find SKUs you no longer need, for example:

• Discontinued products
• Products no longer sold on any channel
• Duplicates or test products
• SKUs associated with brands/categories you no longer carry

You can identify these in:

• Source Inventory
• Product Catalog
• Channel Listings

4. How to Delete Unneeded SKUs

4.1 General Deletion Workflow

The basic deletion workflow is similar across sections:

Select variants/products to delete

• Use filters/search to locate products.
• Select the checkboxes for the variants or products you wish to delete.

Use the Actions dropdown in the Source Inventory and Product Catalog sections

• Click the Actions dropdown.
• Select Delete.

Use the Actions dropdown in Channel Listing sections — One additional click

• Click the Actions dropdown.
• Click Edit.
• Select Delete.

Confirm deletion

• A pop-up will appear asking you to confirm.
• Type I Understand to acknowledge.
• Confirm the number of products/variants to be deleted.
• Confirm the deletion action.

Once completed, the selected items will be removed from that section.

5. Section-Specific Considerations

5.1 Source Inventory

Use the standard deletion steps above to remove source inventory variants.

Important notes:

• If your Source Inventory is populated via an automated integration (e.g., a Get Inventory Primary job), deleted items may be reimported the next time the job runs.
• To prevent this, you must also configure Do Not Import rules for the deleted items (see Configure Do Not Import Rules).

5.2 Product Catalog

Use the standard deletion steps above to remove Product Catalog variants.

Important notes:

• Deleting a catalog variant will also delete the associated listing(s) from the Channel Listings section in Flxpoint.
• Make sure you understand which listings will be affected before deleting catalog variants.

5.3 Channel Listings

Use the standard deletion steps above to remove Channel Listings.

Important notes:

• If you delete a product/variant that is Linked (i.e., still linked to a channel listing):
  • The listing may remain on your sales channel, but
  • Price and quantity syncs from Flxpoint will stop.
• We strongly suggest delisting items from your sales channels first, then deleting them from Flxpoint.
• For more detail on channel listing removal and delisting, refer to your Channel Listings documentation (if available in your help center).

6. Preventing Reimport: Do Not Import Rules

If you delete SKUs from Source Inventory that are populated by an automated integration, those SKUs will likely reimport during the next Get Inventory Primary job unless you configure Do Not Import rules.

Do Not Import rules allow you to block specific products from ever importing into Flxpoint.

6.1 What You Can Base Rules On

You can create Do Not Import rules using product attributes such as:

• SKU
• UPC
• Brand
• Category
• Other mapped attributes

You can also use the Lists feature in Post Mapping Workflow rules to block groups of products based on dynamic lists you maintain.

7. Configure Do Not Import Rules

Follow these steps to configure Do Not Import rules at the source level.

7.1 Access the Source Integration

1. Navigate to the Source where you deleted products and want to prevent reimport.
2. Find your Get Inventory Primary integration for that source.
3. Click Edit.
4. Proceed to Step 3 (or the step that includes Post Mapping Workflow).

7.2 Create Post Mapping Workflow Rules

In the Post Mapping Workflow section:

1. Click to add a new rule.
2. Define the condition for products you want to block, for example:
   • Brand = Apple
   • Category = Clearance
   • SKU is one of [list of SKUs]
3. Set the action to mark these products as Do Not Import.

All rules follow this general pattern:

IF <Condition> THEN Do Not Import = True

7.3 Save and Apply

1. Once your rule is configured, click OK.
2. Click Save or Save and Complete to finalize integration changes.

On the next Get Inventory Primary job, any products that match your Do Not Import rules will be blocked from importing into your Source Inventory.

8. Recommended Best Practices

Always delist first:

Delist products from your channels before deleting them from Flxpoint to avoid leaving active listings without price/quantity sync.

Clean + Protect:

When you delete a group of SKUs, immediately configure corresponding Do Not Import rules so they don't reappear.

Review by section:

Periodically review:

• Source Inventory
• Product Catalog
• Channel Listings

and remove or block products that are no longer needed.

Monitor SKU usage:

Regularly use Calculate Total in each section to monitor how close you are to your plan's SKU limit.
