ScanSource as a Source
Summary
ScanSource is a barcode, networking, and POS technology distributor integration in Flxpoint. It uses an SFTP connection for inventory alongside a separate API connection for orders and shipment tracking, and supports Get Inventory (Primary and Secondary), Send Fulfillment Requests, and Get Shipments. Contact your ScanSource representative for account-specific credentials, or support@flxpoint.com for setup guidance.
ScanSource requires two connections configured together — an FTP connection for inventory (Get Inventory Primary and Secondary) and an API connection for orders and shipment tracking (Send Fulfillment Requests and Get Shipments). Add a ScanSource source, start configuring an operation, and when Flxpoint prompts you click + New Connection, enter the values for that connection type, 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 Scansource 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 Scansource as a Source side. Confirm the order appears correctly before enabling automatic scheduling across your routing group.

| CarrierCode | → Shipment → Carrier / Ship Method. Carrier code for the shipment. |
| Order items → SKU / Quantity | → Shipment Item → SKU / Quantity. Required. ScanSource's tracking response isn't broken down by item, so Flxpoint marks the full order as shipped using each order line's SKU and quantity. |
Flxpoint looks up each shipment using your purchase order number automatically — there is nothing to map.
