ASI US/CA as a Source
Summary
ASI US/CA is a pre-built electronics distributor integration in Flxpoint, connecting via FTP (USA or Canada, based on your account) for inventory and a separate API connection for orders and shipments. It supports Get Inventory (Primary and Secondary), Send Fulfillment Requests, and Get Shipments. Full setup documentation for this integration is still being finalized — for credentials and configuration guidance, contact support@flxpoint.com.
ASI US/CA supports two connection types: an FTP connection (choose USA or Canada to match your account) for Get Inventory, and a separate API connection for Send Fulfillment Requests and Get Shipments. Add an ASI source, start configuring an operation, and when Flxpoint prompts you click + New Connection, enter the values, then Test Connection → Save Connection.

GIP daily for full catalog; GIS for delta price/quantity updates — Archive on one job only
Once configured, run Get Inventory Primary daily to import the full ASI US/CA as a Source catalog. Use Get Inventory Secondary for more frequent price and quantity refreshes. Enable Archive/Un-Archive on one job only to avoid conflicting inventory states.
Test a single manual order before enabling automatic Send FR scheduling
Before enabling automatic order sending, run one manual Fulfillment Request and verify it is received on the ASI US/CA as a Source side. Confirm the order appears correctly before enabling automatic scheduling across your routing group.
