Introduction to Sports South - Get Invoices Integration
The Sports South - Get Invoices integration automates the retrieval of invoice data from Sports South, including details like invoice numbers, due dates, and line item costs. It maps this data to Flxpoint’s invoice fields, ensuring accurate billing and financial tracking. The setup involves configuring FTP settings, defining mapping templates, and applying custom rules. Let’s walk through it!

The Sports South - Get Invoices integration connects Flxpoint to Sports South to:
  • Retrieve invoice data, including customer numbers, due dates, and gross sales.
  • Map Sports South invoice fields to Flxpoint’s invoice fields for accurate billing.
  • Automate data import via FTP for timely financial updates.

This integration follows a clear process:
  • Data Extraction: Pulls invoice data like Invoice Number, Due Date, and Item Number from Sports South.
  • Field Mapping: Maps data to Flxpoint invoice fields using a template.
  • FTP Retrieval: Downloads the formatted invoice data from Sports South’s FTP server in the specified Inbound Remote File Folder.
What Does the Invoice Data Look Like?
A sample invoice data structure from Sports South:
{
  "Invoice": {
    "CustomerNumber": "CUST123",
    "DueDate": "2025-09-10",
    "InvoiceNumber": "INV456",
    "PONumber": "PO789",
    "InvoiceItem": {
      "ItemNumber": "SS98765",
      "Quantity": 3,
      "SalesPrice": 49.99
