Source Type Defaults
Summary
This article covers the default source type setting applied when creating new sources individually or in bulk within Flxpoint.
When you create a new source in Flxpoint, the system now automatically defaults the Source Type field to Vendor Warehouse. This applies to all creation workflows, ensuring that new inventory origins are pre-configured for standard supplier and warehouse operations by default.
The Vendor Warehouse default is applied across the following areas of the platform:
Individual Creation: Navigating to Source Management and selecting Add Source.
Bulk Creation: Using the Bulk Source Import tool to upload multiple sources at once via CSV or file upload.
Note: While Vendor Warehouse is the standard default, you can still manually override this selection during the creation process or edit the source type later if the source represents a different entity, such as an internal store or a specific 3PL.
Does this change existing sources?
No. This default only applies to new sources created after the update. Existing sources will retain their currently assigned source types.
Can I change the type after the source is created?
Yes. You can update the source type at any time by navigating to the specific source settings and modifying the configuration fields.
