--- title: "Update an inventory adjustment" method: POST path: "/quickbooks-desktop/inventory-adjustments/{id}" --- # Update an inventory adjustment `POST /quickbooks-desktop/inventory-adjustments/{id}` Updates an existing inventory adjustment. **NOTE:** If you include `lines`, QuickBooks Desktop replaces that line list with the array you send, so include unchanged lines you want to keep and use `id: "-1"` for new lines. ## Path parameters - `id` string, required — The QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier of the inventory adjustment to update. ## Headers - `Conductor-End-User-Id` string, required — The ID of the End-User to receive this request. ## Request body - object - `revisionNumber` string, required — The current QuickBooks-assigned revision number of the inventory adjustment object you are updating, which you can get by fetching the object first. Provide the most recent `revisionNumber` to ensure you're working with the latest data; otherwise, the update will return an error. - `accountId` string — The account to which this inventory adjustment is posted for tracking inventory value changes. - `inventorySiteId` string — The site location where inventory for the item associated with this inventory adjustment is stored. - `transactionDate` string, date — The date of this inventory adjustment, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). - `refNumber` string — The case-sensitive user-defined reference number for this inventory adjustment, which can be used to identify the transaction in QuickBooks. This value is not required to be unique and can be arbitrarily changed by the QuickBooks user. Maximum length: 11 characters. - `customerId` string — The customer or customer-job associated with this inventory adjustment. - `classId` string — The inventory adjustment's class. Classes can be used to categorize objects into meaningful segments, such as department, location, or type of work. In QuickBooks, class tracking is off by default. A class defined here is automatically used in this inventory adjustment's line items unless overridden at the line item level. - `memo` string — A memo or note for this inventory adjustment. - `lines` object[] — The inventory adjustment's item lines, each representing the adjustment of an inventory item's quantity, value, serial number, or lot number. **IMPORTANT**: 1. Including this array in your update request will **REPLACE** all existing item lines for the inventory adjustment with this array. To keep any existing item lines, you must include them in this array even if they have not changed. **Any item lines not included will be removed.** 2. To add a new item line, include it here with the `id` field set to `-1`. 3. If you do not wish to modify any item lines, omit this field entirely to keep them unchanged. - `id` string, required — The QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier of an existing inventory adjustment line you wish to retain or update. **IMPORTANT**: Set this field to `-1` for new inventory adjustment lines you wish to add. - `itemId` string — The inventory item associated with this inventory adjustment line. - `serialNumber` string — The serial number of the item associated with this inventory adjustment line.
