Meyer as a Source
Summary
Meyer Distribution is an automotive and RV parts and accessories supplier that connects to Flxpoint over FTP. Unlike most FTP integrations, the FTP server is hosted by Flxpoint (ftp.flxpoint.com), so your FTP credentials come from Flxpoint Support rather than from Meyer, and the inventory feed is a single CSV file typically named Meyer Pricing.csv.
Go to Sources in the left menu, click the + button, and start an FTP connection for Meyer Distribution. The FTP is provided by Flxpoint, not Meyer: enter the values from Flxpoint Support, then click Save Connection.

The inventory feed is a single file: an empty file archives all products
Get Inventory (Primary) reads a single CSV file (Meyer Pricing.csv) from the FTP server. If that file arrives empty due to a delivery issue between Meyer and Flxpoint, all existing Meyer inventory is archived (quantity set to 0). If Meyer products suddenly drop to zero, check the file with Flxpoint Support before assuming a configuration issue.
Fulfillment requests are sent as Cust PO: auto-acknowledgements are supported
Orders are submitted to Meyer as a Cust PO, configurable in the Send Fulfillment Requests mapping template. When an order is received, an auto-acknowledgement is returned as the Cust PO value in Meyer's response. Approved supplier shipping methods can also be included in the request.
