Arguments

Returns

InventoryItem InventoryItem! — An inventory item: ONE per (Variant x LogicalFacility), carrying the CACHED bucket balances + the weighted-moving-average cost. Parent = the Variant; the other junction leg is the IMMUTABLE logicalFacilityId. The junction (variant x LF) is unique (a live duplicate is CONFLICT/IDENTITY_TAKEN naming the holder). styleType is BIRTH-STAMPED from the spine (immutable upstream): simple/kit IIs are STOCKED; service/bundle IIs are STOCKLESS price-carriers refusing quantity movements. Buckets are SIGNED decimal strings moved ONLY by the movement ops (receiveStock/adjustStock/reclassStock: one movement = ONE transaction; overcommit is allowed + ALWAYS evented, IV-i); available = on_hand − reserved, ALWAYS derived, never stored. Doom requires EVERY bucket exactly zero (CONFLICT/REFERENCED naming the non-zero buckets); deactivate is FREE and reversible. onOrderQty is a SIXTH field, NOT a bucket: the open quantity of the issued purchase orders for this junction, maintained by the purchase-order walks + the receipt post — never by movements, never inside available; a pre-walk row reads 0; the audit/repair pair (inventoryOnOrderAudit / repairInventoryOnOrder) stamps the derived truth over drift.

Dry run

Add dryRun: true to the request envelope (extensions.at) to rehearse this call: every check runs, the write is rehearsed against the current records and nothing is stored; the answer is the refusal a real call would give, or the record it would create. Every response to a rehearsal carries dryRun: true, so a rehearsed record is never mistaken for a saved one.
