Absolute Adjustment

PUT /inventory/adjustments/absolute

Request

Override the existing inventory levels for an inventory item at a location. For maximum inventory levels, see Inventory adjustments. For payload limits, see Optimizing performance.

Use absolute adjustments as the default method for updating inventory. This endpoint batches requests, making them more resource friendly than the Catalog API. Absolute adjustments have lower complexity than relative adjustments, which synchronize with orders.
