Inventory Adjust
This API adjusts the inventory count for a product at a location. It is different from Inventory Refresh because rather than stating the total quantity of the product, this adjustment specifies the amount of change in the form of increments and decrements (+/-). For example, there would be a -2 quantity for an item if there were two fewer than in the previous count, a +2 quantity if there were two more, and a 0 quantity if there were no change.
Note that unlike other OMS APIs, there are two endpoints that may be used. Each endpoint is associated with a different API key related to a package – either an “Inventory V5” or “Inventory Specific” package. The Inventory Specific package is the preferred endpoint to use, but some implementations may use Inventory V5 depending on their configuration.
