Set Quote Inventory Allocation

POST 
/api/quotes/:quote/allocation

Toggle whether the quote holds inventory, applying the side effect immediately so this is the single control for allocation:

• allocate=false always RELEASES any stock the quote is currently holding.
• allocate=true re-allocates now if the quote is already issued (sent/viewed); for a draft it only records intent, since allocation otherwise happens on send.

Required scope: orders:write

Grant this scope to your token under Settings → Developer → Personal Access Tokens.

Returns 422 (InvalidQuoteTransition) when the quote is in a terminal state (ordered/declined/expired).

Body: allocate (boolean, required).

Authentication: Requires Bearer token. Permission: quotes.update.

Content-Type

401

Unauthenticated — the bearer token is missing, revoked, expired, or malformed. Never retry automatically; fix the credential. See the Errors guide.

403

Forbidden — the token lacks a required scope, the endpoint is not available to API tokens, or the user behind the token lacks the permission. A human must adjust the token scopes or user permissions; do not retry.

404

Not found — no record with the given identifier (or the route does not exist). Verify the ID before retrying.

422

Validation failed — the body is a field → messages map (Laravel shape) or the platform envelope with a stable machine-readable code. Fix the payload and resubmit.

429

Rate limited — platform limit is 1,000 requests/min; individual tokens may carry lower limits. Honor the Retry-After header before retrying. See the Rate Limits guide.
