3PL Inventory Reconciliation Report: what your 3PL reports versus what your system holds, SKU by SKU
A 3PL inventory reconciliation report compares the stock your 3PL or warehouse partner last reported with the stock in your order management system, SKU by SKU, and lists every difference. InfiPlex keeps both sides: the partner's own product list with stock level and last report time, and the InfiPlex quantity per warehouse. An AI agent connected to the MCP server reads both, translates partner SKUs through your SKU map, and returns the variance list.

The prompt
How do I reconcile 3PL inventory against my own records?
Name the partner. The agent finds the connection, the warehouse it serves, and the SKU map it uses, then compares each item.
Reconcile inventory for our 3PL against InfiPlex. Show every SKU where the two differ, and flag anything the 3PL has not reported on in over two days.

RS-310 has not been reported by the 3PL in three days, so InfiPlex still holds its earlier quantity. KT-118 is translated through the SKU map from partner SKU KT118-EA.

A three line exception list is the whole job of a cycle count meeting. The mechanics of how partner stock flows into InfiPlex and out to your channels are on the 3PL Connector and multichannel inventory sync pages.

Follow-up prompts that reshape the 3PL inventory reconciliation report
The first answer is a starting point. Each follow-up below is one more sentence in the same conversation, and the AI agent rebuilds the report from InfiPlex data each time.
“For RS-310, show the inventory change history for the last week.”Explains how the InfiPlex quantity reached its current value.
“Which SKUs does the 3PL hold that have no InfiPlex product?”Lists partner items with no match on your side.
“Do the same for our second 3PL and put both in one sheet.”Runs the comparison per connection and merges the output.
“What quantity did we send Amazon.com for KT-118 after the last 3PL report?”Follows the number downstream to the channel.
Where the numbers come from
The InfiPlex data behind the 3PL inventory reconciliation report
Four reads: the connection, its product list, your inventory, and the SKU map between them.
fulfillment_connection_listEach 3PL or drop ship connection with its linked warehouse and SKU map
fulfillment_connection_productsThe partner product list: SKU, stock level, last report time, partner warehouse
inventory_searchInfiPlex quantity per SKU for the linked warehouse
sku_map_getThe partner SKU to InfiPlex SKU pairs
Every tool and its inputs are listed in the MCP tools reference. The same data is available as JSON through the InfiPlex REST API for teams that prefer a script.
Run it on a schedule
Schedule the 3PL inventory reconciliation report daily or weekly
A daily run after the morning inventory pull catches a partner that stopped reporting an item. A scheduled AI agent or a short script runs the same prompt from cron and delivers the result by email, Slack, or shared folder. The scheduled custom reports guide covers both routes, and the daily inventory by warehouse report agent is a worked example to copy.
It is comparing the stock a 3PL says it holds with the stock your own system shows, item by item, and resolving the differences. It keeps the quantity you publish to sales channels tied to what is physically on the shelf.
Any fulfillment connection in InfiPlex, including Extensiv 3PL Warehouse Manager, ShipHero, Logiwa, Flexe, Deposco, and drop ship suppliers. The connection list is read from your account.
Common causes are an item the partner stopped including in its report, orders shipped between two reports, or an inventory offset set on the connection. The last report time and the change history show which one applies.
