Sports South as a Source

Sports South can be connected to Flxpoint as a supplier source to automate inventory synchronization and order submission. Once connected, Flxpoint retrieves product availability and pricing from Sports South and can submit eligible orders back to Sports South for fulfillment.

Get Inventory (Primary)

Introduction

The Sports South – Get Inventory (Primary Integration) enables Flxpoint to automatically retrieve primary inventory data directly from Sports South and keep your catalog in sync.

Through this integration, Flxpoint pulls key inventory attributes from Sports South, including:

  • Product SKUs
  • Quantity on Hand (Qty OH)
  • Pricing
  • Product dimensions (length, width, height)

This data is then mapped to the corresponding inventory fields in Flxpoint, ensuring that product availability and details remain accurate and up to date.

The integration is designed to reduce manual updates and improve inventory reliability by using Sports South as the system of record for stock data. Configuration involves setting up the data connection, mapping incoming fields to Flxpoint attributes, and applying optional rules to control how the data is processed.

The sections below walk through each step of the setup and configuration process.

The Get Inventory [Primary] integration pulls primary inventory data from Sports South into Flxpoint, including SKUs, quantities, pricing, and related inventory attributes.

The setup is completed in three steps.

Get Inventory (Secondary)

Introduction

The Sports South – Get Inventory (Secondary Integration) enables Flxpoint to retrieve variant-level inventory data from Sports South, complementing the primary inventory feed.

While Get Inventory [Primary] pulls product-level attributes (SKU, quantity, price, dimensions), the secondary integration focuses on variant-specific fields, including:

  • Item Number (variant identifier)
  • Cost and Price
  • Quantity
  • Manufacturer Price (MFPRC), MAP, MSRP

This data is mapped to Flxpoint's inventory variant fields, ensuring that variant-level pricing, cost, and stock information stays accurate alongside the primary feed.

Configuration follows the same connection setup as Get Inventory [Primary], with a different mapping template tailored to variant fields. The sections below walk through each step.

The Get Inventory [Secondary] integration pulls variant-level inventory data from Sports South into Flxpoint, including item numbers, cost, price, quantity, and manufacturer pricing.

The setup is completed in three steps.

Step 1: Connect an Integration

This integration uses the same Sports South connection as Get Inventory [Primary]. If you already configured the connection during Primary setup, select it from the dropdown.

If you need to create a new connection, enter the required details in the New Sports South Connection form:

  • Connection Name
    Internal reference name (e.g., Sports South – Inventory).
  • Customer Number
    Your Sports South dealer account number.
  • Username
    Username provided by Sports South for inventory access. Typically same as customer/account number.
  • Password
    Password associated with the Sports South username.
  • Source
    • If you are a third-party provider: use an abbreviation of your company or software name (maximum 6 characters).
    • If you are not a provider: use your Sports South account number.

Click Test Connection, then Save Connection once successful.

Tip: You do not need a separate connection for Secondary. Reuse the same Sports South connection created during Primary setup.
Step 2: Configure Settings

Configure how variant inventory data is handled when received from Sports South.

  • Allocated Inventory
    • No (default): Uses available quantity only.
    • Yes: Adds allocated quantity to regular quantity.
  • Archive / Un-Archive Inventory
    • Yes (recommended): Inventory not found in the latest feed is archived and automatically restored if it reappears.
    • No: Missing inventory is ignored.
Important: If Get Inventory [Primary] already has Archive / Un-Archive enabled for this source, do not enable it again here. Only one integration per source should manage archiving.

Click Save and Proceed.

Step 3: Define a Mapping Template

Choose Sports South Get Source Variant 1 and click Save and Complete.

Note: The Secondary template maps to variant fields (Variant SKU, Variant Cost, Variant Price, etc.), unlike the Primary template which maps to product-level fields.

The Mapping Template defines how Sports South variant inventory data maps to Flxpoint variant fields.

Variant Field Mapping

Key fields to map include:

Field Maps To Example Purpose Status
Item Number (T) Flxpoint: Variant SKU SSV12345 Identifies the variant Required
Cost (N) Flxpoint: Variant Cost 15.99 Sets variant cost Optional
Price (N) Flxpoint: Variant Price 24.99 Sets variant price Optional

Let's Break It Down: Map "Item Number" to Flxpoint's Variant SKU for variant tracking.
Mapping Options

Options include Field, Value, Mapping Set, Rules, Don't Map, Set to Empty.

Try This: Use "Value" to set a default Quantity if missing.
Mapping Rules

Rules transform data during mapping. Configured rules for this integration:

Rule Name Behavior What It Does
Multiply by 1.4 Always runs Multiplies Price by 1.4 (e.g., for markup).
Sports South Get Inventory – Rule #2 1 condition, 1 action Modifies Original Value based on a condition.
Summary: Mapped fields and rules ensure accurate variant-level data in Flxpoint.

Quick Checks
  • Connection shows Connected and passes Test Connection (same connection as Primary).
  • Mapping template Sports South Get Source Variant 1 is selected and saved.
  • Archive / Un-Archive is not enabled here if already enabled on Get Inventory [Primary] for the same source.
  • Mapping rules (e.g., Multiply by 1.4) are configured if price markups are needed.
Primary vs. Secondary — What's Different?

Maps To Flxpoint inventory parent fields Flxpoint inventory variant fields
Template Sports South Get Source Product 1 Sports South Get Source Variant 1
Connection Same Sports South connection (shared)
Troubleshooting
  • Connection failure — Verify credentials (Customer Number, Username, Password) and click Test Connection again. Contact Sports South if credentials are not working.
  • Variant data not imported — Confirm the integration is enabled and the variant mapping template is saved.
  • Mapping errors — Review field mappings and ensure Item Number is mapped to Variant SKU.
  • Price not reflecting markup — Verify the "Multiply by 1.4" rule is enabled and assigned to the correct field.
  • Archiving conflict — Only enable Archive / Un-Archive on one integration (Primary or Secondary) per source, not both.
