How to just update cost field - why does it want to update inventory as well?

[rwrllc]

I want to bulk update all teh cost fields in our sellbrite (6000+ skus) but it seems to require inventory as well? I dont want to mess with the inventory and the potential for mistakes there - is there really not a way to just update cost alone?

Hello, thank you for reaching out!

You're correct that the endpoint expects both on_hand and available inventory values when making a PUT call to update inventory.

At this time, there isn't a dedicated endpoint for updating the cost field by itself. To update the cost values of your inventory, you'll first need to retrieve your inventory from the GET endpoint: https://developer.sellbrite.com/endpoints/inventory. You can then pass the current on_hand and available quantities unchanged in the required fields of the PUT endpoint: https://developer.sellbrite.com/endpoints/inventory-put, along with the desired cost values. This will ensure that you're not unintentionally altering inventory levels while updating cost.

If you are facing issues pulling this information from the GET endpoint or passing this information to the PUT endpoint, please let us know and I will be happy to provide further assistance.

it appears to update you need to include the warehouse uuid as well? even though we only have 1 warehouse?

tried this:L

PUT Request to: https://api.sellbrite.com/v1/inventory/ornmHMquiksan
Payload JSON: {
"inventory": {
"sku": "ornmHMquiksan",
"on_hand": 18,
"cost": 9.99
}
)

Response Status Code: 404 Response Text: Not Found

and

PUT Request to: https://api.sellbrite.com/v1/inventory/ornmHMquiksan
Payload JSON: {
"on_hand": 18,
"cost": 9.99
}
Response Status Code: 404
Response Text: Not Found

sku ornmHMquiksan definitely exists though?

got it! needs the warehouse ID no matter what apparently, this payload works:

payload = {
"inventory": {
"sku": sku,
"warehouse_uuid": warehouse_uuid,
"on_hand": on_hand,
"cost": cost
}
}

thanks
