Execute Import

POST 
/api/supplier-inventories/5/import

Queues a supplier inventory import — creates or updates inventory records for a specific supplier in the background.

This endpoint is asynchronous. The HTTP response returns immediately (202 Accepted) with a tracked_job_log_id that the client polls via the global job tray for progress and completion status. There is no hard row cap on the payload — the queued job processes items in chunks of 500 in its own transaction per chunk, so payloads of any size complete cleanly without holding a long-running transaction open.

Authentication: Requires Bearer token.

Path params:

  • supplier: Supplier ID

Body fields:

  • items (required): Array of inventory items (1+). Only the top-level items array is validated at the HTTP layer; each row is validated inside the queued job and any per-row problems are surfaced as failures in the tracked job results rather than as a 422. (Per-row exists validation was intentionally removed from the request layer to avoid an N+1 that timed out large payloads.)
    • items.*.product_id (required): Product ID
    • items.*.warehouse_id (optional): Warehouse ID
    • items.*.quantity (optional): Stock quantity, integer >= 0
    • items.*.eta (optional): Expected availability date
    • items.*.in_stock (optional): Boolean stock flag
    • items.*.discontinued (optional): Boolean discontinued flag

Errors:

  • 422 only when the top-level items array is missing or empty.
  • 404 when the supplier does not exist.
  • Invalid rows (e.g. unknown product_id) do NOT return 422 — the import is queued and those rows are reported as failures in the tracked job results.

Note: Use the validate endpoint first to preview and catch row-level errors before importing.
