Module 06 External / Partner Inventory

2. External “Partner” Inventory
The partner inventory module is available for Pump and Seal distributor contracts
This module was designed to enable sharing of Flowserve inventory availability throughout our distributor network. Distributors can load their inventory and search for items that are in stock and available from other distributors. Additionally, Flowserve sites can search distributor inventory when needed.
All distributors participating in the DVP program must load their updated inventory at least once a month. Year-end inventory must be loaded onto the site by the end of January each year.
You can access the external inventory module in two ways:
To access and update your inventory , click the “My Inventory” box under My Profile.
To access and search all external inventory, select “Partner Inventory” under the Quick links drop down
External Inventory on shows distributor inventory. To search Flowserve inventory, please refer to the “Check Availability” module

Step #2
Load your data into the excel template. The upload tool uses a data matching and standardization feature. The template has 9 columns, however only 4 data fields are required (Part #, Quantity, Cost and Availability in Store) to upload your data into the store. Enter your inventory into this template and save it to your computer. The tool will attempt to update data based on a part number match. If the part number does not match master item data in the store, it will try to match by the CCN number. This flexibility allows you to load by either number. After an item is matched it will automatically standardize the Description and Product Family. If an items does not match either part number or CCN, it will be loaded “as is”.
Location – If you have multiple branches or warehouses , this is where you can specify a location
Description – The description will always be defined by the store if the part number or CCN matches. If not, we will load the description provided in your file
Product Family – The Product Family, such as Innomag (TB-Mag and U-Mag), will always be defined by the store when the part number or CCN matches
Net Cost – Enter the unit price you purchased the item for. It is only shown in the “My Inventory” view which is available to Flowserve and users associated with your company
Store Availability – Yes or No. If Yes, the item will be shown to other external users. If No, the item will only be shown to Flowserve and your company employees.
