Hi,

On installed items there is the possibility to update product id, we do this with import to update product id's in bulk.

We also want to update the product id’s on Inventory Items, is there a way to update product id's of Inventory items (trough import)? 

I can make an API to update the product id but de bin_part qty is not updating for old product id and new product id.

 

Thanks,

Robin

Hi Robin,

We do not have such a method to do this and I think it might lead to data corruption.  For example, you received the products into the warehouse with one product ID, now when you need to reference that transaction, the part it was originally delivered as no longer exists in the bin.

You would no longer be able to reconcile the receiving documents against the logistics transactions should the need arise.

Hi Phil,

 

Thanks, that was indeed the issue i run into when updating product id with API trough import.

 

Then i know i don’t have to investigate it further thanks.
