HubSpot
The HubSpot module, located in the
Integrations group, is an add-on module that can be installed from the

HubSpot Professional or HubSpot Enterprise is required for this integration.

Order Settings
Additional order data will be imported and displayed on the Details tab of the
Sales Order module.

- Custom Field - Fishbowl can export inventory quantities to a product custom field in HubSpot. A custom field can be added by opening HubSpot and going to Settings > Properties and then selecting the object called Product properties.

- Available For Sale - The quantity available is calculated as On Hand - Allocated - Not Available + Drop Ship.
- Inventory On Hand - The total amount of inventory in stock.
- Available To Pick - Calculated as On Hand - Committed for inventory in locations that are marked as Pickable.
- Available To Kit - In Fishbowl, kits are comprised of various inventory items, so the kit itself isn't displayed in the
Inventory module. However, Fishbowl will always export an Available to Kit number to HubSpot. The available quantity exported for kits will be the lowest available quantity for any of the items in the kit. For example, a Wheel kit may require 1 rim and 1 tire. If there are 100 rims available, but only 5 tires, then the quantity exported for the Wheel kit will be 5. The available quantity for a configurable kit will be the lowest available quantity for the default kit items.
- Product Tree Filter - The export can be limited to a specific product tree category. If this field is left blank, all products will be included in the export.
