InventoryItem
IMPORTANT The SOAP API entered a limited enhancement phase in Q4 2020. Access to version 1.6 will be deactivated.
This entity describes an Autotask product that is associated with an Inventory Location in the Autotask Inventory module. Once an InventoryItem entity has been created, you can track quantities for that item (quantity on hand, quantity on order) and provide a value for minimum and maximum quantity for use with the Auto-Fill Order feature. You can assign serial numbers to instances of InventoryItems, add them to purchase orders, and "receive" them. You can also transfer them between inventory locations or associate them with an account. Inventory items are added and managed in Autotask through the Inventory module.
NOTE Please review the Conditions and Requirements listed below before creating or updating InventoryItems.
