# List all inventory adjustments

`GET /quickbooks-desktop/inventory-adjustments`

Returns a list of inventory adjustments.

**NOTE:** QuickBooks Desktop does not support pagination for inventory adjustments; hence, there is no `cursor` parameter. Users typically have few inventory adjustments.

## Query parameters

- `ids` string[] — Filter for specific inventory adjustments by their QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier(s). **IMPORTANT**: If you include this parameter, QuickBooks will ignore all other query parameters for this request. **NOTE**: If any of the values you specify in this parameter are not found, the request will return an error.
- `refNumbers` string[] — Filter for specific inventory adjustments by their ref-number(s), case-sensitive. In QuickBooks, ref-numbers are not required to be unique and can be arbitrarily changed by the QuickBooks user. **IMPORTANT**: If you include this parameter, QuickBooks will ignore all other query parameters for this request. **NOTE**: If any of the values you specify in this parameter are not found, the request will return an error.
- `limit` integer — The maximum number of objects to return. **IMPORTANT**: QuickBooks Desktop does not support cursor-based pagination for inventory adjustments. This parameter will limit the response size, but you cannot fetch subsequent results using a cursor. For pagination, use the name-range parameters instead (e.g., `nameFrom=A&nameTo=B`). When this parameter is omitted, the endpoint returns all inventory adjustments without limit, unlike paginated endpoints which default to 150 records. This is acceptable because inventory adjustments typically have low record counts.
- `updatedAfter` string — Filter for inventory adjustments updated on or after this date/time. Accepts the following ISO 8601 formats: - **date-only** (YYYY-MM-DD) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the date as the **start of the specified day** in the local timezone of the end-user's computer (e.g., `2025-01-01` → `2025-01-01T00:00:00`). - **datetime without timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp in the local timezone of the end-user's computer. - **datetime with timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp using the specified timezone.
- `updatedBefore` string — Filter for inventory adjustments updated on or before this date/time. Accepts the following ISO 8601 formats: - **date-only** (YYYY-MM-DD) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the date as the **end of the specified day** in the local timezone of the end-user's computer (e.g., `2025-01-01` → `2025-01-01T23:59:59`). - **datetime without timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp in the local timezone of the end-user's computer. - **datetime with timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp using the specified timezone.
- `transactionDateFrom` string, date — Filter for inventory adjustments whose `date` field is on or after this date, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). **NOTE:** QuickBooks Desktop interprets this date as the **start of the specified day** in the local timezone of the end-user's computer (e.g., `2025-01-01` → `2025-01-01T00:00:00`).
- `transactionDateTo` string, date — Filter for inventory adjustments whose `date` field is on or before this date, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). **NOTE:** QuickBooks Desktop interprets this date as the **end of the specified day** in the local timezone of the end-user's computer (e.g., `2025-01-01` → `2025-01-01T23:59:59`).
- `customerIds` string[] — Filter for inventory adjustments associated with these customers.
- `accountIds` string[] — Filter for inventory adjustments associated with these accounts.
- `itemIds` string[] — Filter for inventory adjustments containing these inventory items.
- `refNumberContains` string — Filter for inventory adjustments whose `refNumber` contains this substring. **NOTE**: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use `refNumberStartsWith` or `refNumberEndsWith`.
- `refNumberStartsWith` string — Filter for inventory adjustments whose `refNumber` starts with this substring. **NOTE**: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use `refNumberContains` or `refNumberEndsWith`.
- `refNumberEndsWith` string — Filter for inventory adjustments whose `refNumber` ends with this substring. **NOTE**: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use `refNumberContains` or `refNumberStartsWith`.
- `refNumberFrom` string — Filter for inventory adjustments whose `refNumber` is greater than or equal to this value. If omitted, the range will begin with the first number of the list. Uses a numerical comparison for values that contain only digits; otherwise, uses a lexicographical comparison.
- `refNumberTo` string — Filter for inventory adjustments whose `refNumber` is less than or equal to this value. If omitted, the range will end with the last number of the list. Uses a numerical comparison for values that contain only digits; otherwise, uses a lexicographical comparison.
- `includeLineItems` boolean — Whether to include line items in the response. Defaults to `true`.
