# Overview

Lightspeed X-Series is a retail POS and ecommerce platform. IDC connects it to NetSuite to sync sales transactions, inventory levels, and product information automatically — no more manual data entry between systems.

## What it syncs

| What moves                    | Direction                      | What IDC does in NetSuite                           |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Sales and returns             | Lightspeed X-Series → NetSuite | Creates Sales Orders, Invoices, and Credit Memos    |
| Sales summary data            | Lightspeed X-Series → NetSuite | Records aggregated sales data by outlet or register |
| Products (items)              | NetSuite → Lightspeed X-Series | Creates and updates products in Lightspeed          |
| Customers                     | NetSuite → Lightspeed X-Series | Creates and updates customer records                |
| Purchase orders and transfers | NetSuite → Lightspeed X-Series | Sends stock replenishment orders                    |
| Stock receipts                | Lightspeed X-Series → NetSuite | Creates item receipts from consignments             |
| Inventory levels              | NetSuite → Lightspeed X-Series | Keeps stock quantities in sync across outlets       |

## How it works

IDC runs syncs on a schedule you set — typically every hour. On each run, IDC pulls sales data from Lightspeed's outlets and registers, creates the matching records in NetSuite, and pushes inventory and customer changes back to Lightspeed. If any data doesn't match (for example, a SKU lookup fails), the flow logs the issue so you can fix it.
