How to Add a Source After you Add your Source

This guide explains the benefits and process of adding a new supplier source in Flxpoint. Integrating more sources into your platform allows you to enhance your inventory management, expand your fulfillment options, and ensure better stock availability across multiple sales channels. By linking several suppliers, you can diversify your product offerings and avoid stock outs, increasing your ability to meet customer demand.

Adding additional sources not only strengthens your fulfillment network but also allows Flxpoint to automatically switch between suppliers, optimizing order fulfillment based on availability and pricing.

After you Add your Source

To ensure your inventory is up-to-date, the Get Inventory Primary feature allows you to import data from your supplier seamlessly. Follow these steps to synchronize your products and ensure they are available for linking or listing across your channels.

Steps to Run Get Inventory Primary:

Access Your Source: Navigate to the source you've added within Flxpoint.
Go to Integrations: Select the Get Inventory Primary option from the integrations tab.
Run Sync: Click the three dots next to the integration on the right side, then click Run Sync to initiate the import process.
Review Inventory: Once the sync is complete, review your imported inventory.
Link or Create Products: After reviewing, either link the imported items to existing products or create new listings for your sales channels.

If you have existing products in the catalog that would have overlapping items with the supplier you're adding on matching identifier (e.g., UPC), then you'll want to run a link to products. Anything that doesn't find a match can be treated as a new item that doesn't already exist in the catalog.

Monitor Your SKUs to Stay Within Plan Limits

When adding new sources, make sure to keep an eye on the number of SKUs imported to stay within your plan limits. To manage SKU overages, consider using our Inventory Exclusion Tools. Additionally, you can review your current plan and limits in the Billing and Payments section of the app.
