Method: projects.locations.catalogs.branches.products.addLocalInventories

Updates local inventory information for a Product at a list of places, while respecting the last update timestamps of each inventory field.

This process is asynchronous and does not require the Product to exist before updating inventory information. If the request is valid, the update will be enqueued and processed downstream. As a consequence, when a response is returned, updates are not immediately manifested in the Product queried by ProductService.GetProduct or ProductService.ListProducts.

Local inventory information can only be modified using this method. ProductService.CreateProduct and ProductService.UpdateProduct has no effect on local inventories.

The returned Operations will be obsolete after 1 day, and operations.get API will return NOT_FOUND afterwards.

If conflicting updates are issued, the Operations associated with the stale updates will not be marked as done until being obsolete.

Parameters
product

string

Required. Full resource name of Product, such as projects/*/locations/global/catalogs/default_catalog/branches/default_branch/products/some_product_id.

If the caller does not have permission to access the Product, regardless of whether or not it exists, a PERMISSION_DENIED error is returned.

Request body

The request body contains data with the following structure:

JSON representation 
{
  "localInventories": [
    {
      object (LocalInventory)
    }
  ],
  "addMask": string,
  "addTime": string,
  "allowMissing": boolean
}
Fields
localInventories[]

object (LocalInventory)

Required. A list of inventory information at difference places. Each place is identified by its place ID. At most 3000 inventories are allowed per request.
addMask

string (FieldMask format)

Indicates which inventory fields in the provided list of LocalInventory to update. The field is updated to the provided value.

If a field is set while the place does not have a previous local inventory, the local inventory at that store is created.

If a field is set while the value of that field is not provided, the original field value, if it exists, is deleted.

If the mask is not set or set with empty paths, all inventory fields will be updated.

If an unsupported or unknown field is provided, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned and the entire update will be ignored.

This is a comma-separated list of fully qualified names of fields. Example: "user.displayName,photo".
addTime

string (Timestamp format)

The time when the inventory updates are issued. Used to prevent out-of-order updates on local inventory fields. If not provided, the internal system time will be used.

A timestamp in RFC3339 UTC "Zulu" format, with nanosecond resolution and up to nine fractional digits. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z" and "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z".
allowMissing

boolean

If set to true, and the Product is not found, the local inventory will still be processed and retained for at most 1 day and processed once the Product is created. If set to false, a NOT_FOUND error is returned if the Product is not found.

Response body

If successful, the response body contains an instance of Operation.
