Update inventory from external source

Bae360

Hello,

We are struggling with inventory updates,

we have tried:

POST /API/Account/{accountID}/InventoryCountItem.json
PUT /API/Account/{accountID}/InventoryCountItem/{inventoryCountItemID}.json

the update is not taken into account

The only working solution is to reload the item:

POST /API/Account/{accountID}/Item.json
PUT /API/Account/{accountID}/Item/{itemID}.json

what is the best solution for updating in real time the stock in lightspeed?

Thanks

The InventoryCount API endpoint is for product counts (i.e. - scanning inventory to determine any missing items), not for updating on-hand quantities for specific site locations. I think you are confusing the two perhaps?

Hello, so far we are doing like this: InventoryCountItem + InventoryCountReconcile,

Please share a better way to update stocks.
