Manually Creating Products

Overview

Flxpoint allows you to create products directly into the Product Catalog. By doing so, you bypass the traditional flow from Source >>> Source Inventory >>> Product Catalog.

Before You Get Started

Determine the Parent SKU & Variant SKU. Both are required.
For each new product, have the following optional information nearby:
1. Title & Description
2. Identifiers
3. Quantity
4. Cost & Pricing Data
5. Dimensions & Weight
6. Options & Attributes
7. Images

Flxpoint Pro Tip

Entering manual quantity and pricing data will lock those values in place. Once the product is connected to a Source, the quantity and pricing will not auto-sync until the values are manually unlocked.

Connecting Your Source Inventory to Your Manual Product

Option #1: Add Inventory Link(s) Navigate to the new Variant Scroll down to Inventory Links Click +Add Inventory Link Search and select matching Source Inventory SKU(s) Click Save Variant to complete
Option #2: Merging Inventory into the Product Catalog Ensure your new Variant has Identifiers to match on (i.e. UPC, EAN, MPN, etc.) Build the desired SKU(s) from the Source Inventory into the Product Catalog The system will merge SKU(s) automatically based on the matching identifiers
