How to create Sale for particular Item

Vishal1224

Currently i have backend system in ruby on rails, i want to sync this system with my lightspeed backend system. when any item order from my application, How can i update the QOH of that product for particular shop ? Or Do i need to create Sale for that item ? So, it will be easy for both end.

It's best to do something that reflects what actually happened to the product.

If it was sold, create a sale in Lightspeed. Other ways to adjust inventory are explained in this tutorial:

Hi James, as always you are very helpful, i want to fetch Item's category's parent , Can i add Parent in load relations,

below is my API request
https://api.merchantos.com/API/Account/{account_id}/Item.json?load_relations=["ItemShops","Images","Category"]

How can i load Parent relation of Category ?

There isn't a Parent relation on categories. You can see all the category's ancestors in the fullPathName field.
