Exporting & Automated Exports

July 20, 2026

Summary

How manual, on-demand exports and scheduled Automated Exports get data out of Flxpoint using dynamic field mapping, and which record types and delivery destinations they support.

OVERVIEW

Flxpoint gets data out of the platform two ways: a manual, on-demand export of whatever records are filtered on a grid, and a scheduled Automated Export that delivers files to an external destination on a recurring basis. Both use dynamic field mapping, so you control which columns appear and what the headers are called.

HOW EXPORTS WORK

Manual export — best for one-off pulls. Select a subset of records on any supported grid, choose Actions → Export, configure the headers, and download the CSV. Uses the grid's current filters to decide what is included.

Automated export — best for recurring delivery to a partner or internal system. Built from an Export Template, a delivery Connection, a Schedule, and an optional Saved Filter, configured under Account Settings → Automated Exports.

Most domains support dynamic field mapping; Orders are the exception and still use a legacy export only.

Orders	Not supported (legacy export only; dynamic field mapping is planned)

AUTOMATED EXPORT COMPONENTS

Component	Defines
Export Template	Which fields and format are in the file.
Connection	Where the file is delivered (FTP/SFTP, S3, HTTP File, Email, and more).
Schedule	How often and at what time the export runs.
Saved Filter (optional)	Narrows which records are included, using reusable filter conditions.

Channel invoice fields (Invoice export)

When mapping an Invoice export, the Order section exposes the channel invoice amounts from the related order. These fields are available in the Invoice export only.

Field	What it holds
Order - Subtotal	Sum of the order line items on the channel invoice.
Order - Tax	Sales tax applied to the order.
Order - Shipping	The customer's shipping charge from the channel invoice, not the shipping cost you pay your source.
Order - Fee	Any additional fee on the order, typically a dropship fee.
Order - Other	Any miscellaneous cost associated with the order.
Order - Discounts	Discounts applied to the order.
Order - Total	Final channel invoice total for the order.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Note: If you leave a header empty on the export configuration screen, Flxpoint uses the field's default handle value as the column name instead.

Note: Orders currently export only through the legacy form and cannot be dynamically mapped. Use Fulfillment Requests or Invoices when you need mapped columns for order-level data; dynamic Order export is planned.

Note: The channel invoice fields (Order - Subtotal, Order - Tax, Order - Total, and related fields) are available in the Invoice export only. They are not available for searching, filtering, or custom views.

Note: If a Saved Filter is attached to an automated export, Flxpoint blocks its deletion. Edit the export to remove or change the filter first, then delete it. Saved Filters are also scoped to their module, so a Source Inventory filter only appears for Source Inventory exports.

COMMON ISSUES

Automated export delivered an empty or unexpected file

Run the Export Template manually first and confirm the file structure before enabling the schedule. If a Saved Filter is attached, the file only includes records that match that filter's conditions, so an over-narrow filter can produce an empty file.

Master SKU / mapped import did not update after using export headers

An export template's column headers (for example SKU, Master SKU, UPC) describe the export layout and are not guaranteed to drive an import. If a re-import is not taking effect, confirm you are using the correct import type for that record rather than reusing the export header set.

FAQS

Can I schedule an export to an FTP or URL that another system polls?

Yes. An Automated Export of Source Inventory, Product Catalog, or Channel Listings can deliver to FTP, SFTP, S3, or HTTP File. With HTTP File you can copy a file URL to poll after each run.

Can I export Orders with custom columns?

Not yet. Orders use a legacy export that cannot be dynamically mapped. For mapped, order-related columns use the Invoices or Fulfillment Requests exports, both of which support dynamic field mapping.

Where do the channel invoice amounts in the Invoice export come from?

They come from the channel invoice on the related order. Order - Shipping is the customer's shipping charge from the channel, not what you pay your source.

Can I reuse a Saved Filter on both a grid and an automated export?

Yes, within the same module. A Saved Filter created in Source Inventory, Product Catalog, or Channel Listings can be applied to that module's grid and to its automated exports.

Why can't I delete a Saved Filter?

It is attached to an automated export. Edit that export to remove or change the filter, then delete the Saved Filter.
