Using Owned Inventory

July 20, 2026

Summary

How to manage stock held in your own Internal Warehouse: replenish it with a Stocking Manifest, and keep its quantity accurate by syncing from an integration/API or by manually receiving stock.

OVERVIEW

Owned Inventory lets you manage stock held in your own Internal Warehouse: replenish it with a Stocking Manifest, and keep its quantity accurate by syncing from an integration/API or by manually receiving stock. Only an Internal Warehouse source is eligible for stock replenishment.

Internal Warehouse — owned stock lives on a source with the Internal Warehouse source type.
Replenish via manifest — build a Stocking Manifest to generate stocking POs and transfer orders.
Sync quantity — update quantity via Get Inventory Primary/Secondary or the API.
Or commit stock — use Committed Stock to hold quantity when you cannot sync often.

BEFORE YOU START

Requirement	Detail
Internal Warehouse source	At least one source with the source type set to Internal Warehouse.
Imported Source Inventory	Import via Get Inventory Primary so Flxpoint has a record of each SKU.
Eligible Products	Product Catalog built with variants that qualify for stocking (see below).

STOCKING ELIGIBILITY AND METHODS

What makes a variant eligible for stocking

Eligibility rule	Meaning
From an Internal Warehouse	The variant is connected to an internal-warehouse source.
Active (not Archived)	Archived variants are not eligible.
Linked with another source	The product variant has more than one inventory variant (fulfillable by the warehouse and at least one other source).

Two ways to manage quantity

Method	When to use
Sync via integration or API	You can upload or integrate quantity on a regular basis (Get Inventory Primary/Secondary, or a POST/PUT API call).
Manually adjust and commit stock	You cannot import quantity and need to enter what was received from a Stocking FR or Transfer Order.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Note: Only an Internal Warehouse can be replenished. Stock replenishment (Stocking Manifests) applies only to a source whose type is Internal Warehouse.

Note: Import a new SKU before stocking it. You cannot place a stocking order for a SKU Flxpoint has no record of. Import it first via Get Inventory Primary.

Note: Disable Archiving when uploading only new SKUs. If a file omits SKUs that already exist in Flxpoint and Archiving is enabled, those existing SKUs get archived. Disable Archiving when you upload only new SKUs.

Note: Set up Source Address and Shipping Methods first. Adding a Source Address and Shipping Policies and Methods up front lets Flxpoint auto-select the delivery address and shipping method when you build a manifest.

COMMON ISSUES

Orders routed to the internal warehouse when it was out of stock

Routing uses the warehouse’s available quantity, so a stale count sends it orders it cannot fill. Keep the internal warehouse quantity accurate — sync it via integration/API, or use Committed Stock so open orders decrement on-hand quantity.

FAQS

What is Owned Inventory?

Stock you hold in your own Internal Warehouse and manage inside Flxpoint — replenished with Stocking Manifests and kept current by syncing or manually receiving quantity.

What do I need before I can stock an internal warehouse?

An Internal Warehouse source, imported Source Inventory, and a Product Catalog of Eligible Products (active, internal-warehouse variants linked alongside at least one other source).

How do I keep my owned quantity accurate?

Sync it via Get Inventory Primary/Secondary or the API, or manually receive stock from your Stocking FRs/Transfer Orders and use Committed Stock to decrement on-hand as orders come in.

Why did a SKU get Archived after my upload?

With Archiving enabled, uploading a file that omits existing SKUs archives them. Disable Archiving if you are only uploading new SKUs.
