Inventory update confirmation APIs

An Inventory Update Confirmation is an electronic message sent in response to an Inventory Update Request to verify that the requested changes to stock status, usability, or location have been completed. It includes a reference to the original request, updated property details and product identifiers (NDC, GTIN, lot, or serial number), the new stock status or disposition (e.g., available, quarantined, destroyed), any location changes, the date and time the update was applied. An Inventory Update Confirmation verifies that important actions, such as quarantined products, security checks, and adjusting cold chain handling, have been executed.

By confirming that inventory updates are complete, inventory update confirmations enhance accuracy across partners and systems, support regulatory requirements, and maintain end-to-end supply chain visibility. This helps prevent errors, keeps operations in sync across manufacturers, distributors, and logistics providers.
