Retrieve the Available Quantity of an Inventory Item

If you are using the contract-based REST API to integrate MYOB Acumatica with an external system, this external system can retrieve from MYOB Acumatica the available quantity of an inventory item. This quantity is provided by the Available Quantity by Inventory Item (GI640590) generic inquiry, which is available for the external systems through the InventoryQuantityAvailable entity of the Default/23.200.001 endpoint.

Testing of the Request

Before you test the code below, you need to do the following to configure your client application and the MYOB Acumatica instance to be used:
  1. Deploy a new MYOB Acumatica instance with the U100 dataset. For details on deploying an instance, see To Deploy an MYOB Acumatica Instance.
  2. To sign in to the instance in the client application, use the tenant name (which you specified when you created the instance) and the HEADOFFICE branch.
  3. If you use Postman as the client application for testing, in the IntegrationDevelopmentGuide.postman_collection.json collection (which is located in the IntegrationDevelopment\Help folder of the Help-and-Training-Examples repository on GitHub), make sure the collection variables have the proper values.
