Hi there! I need a favor. Right now, I need to perform a bulk import to update the inventory of some products. I used this documentation `(https://shopify.dev/docs/api/usage/bulk-operations/imports)` with the `productVariantsBulkUpdate` mutation. I’d like to know if there’s another way to make this update, or if it cannot be done in bulk. ---

Hi Jason, I’d suggest taking a look at the [inventorySetQuantities](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/mutations/inventorySetQuantities) mutation to update inventory quantities. You’ll need the following for each level you want to update: - the location ID - the inventory item ID - the new amount Depending on your use-case, you might also want to set `ignoreCompareQuantity=false` if you’re running into issues with passing the current level in `compareQuantity`. Best, Daniel ---

Thank you for the response, but I have another question. In the documentation for _Bulk Import Data with the GraphQL Admin API_, it states that `bulkOperationRunMutation` has limitations for running processes in bulk. It allows only a defined list of mutations that can be executed. Can this mutation be executed in `bulkOperationRunMutation`? ---

Hi @Jaron_Mauricio_Casca No, only mutations from the list are accepted ---

Ok, then, isn’t there a way to update the inventory in bulk? It just doesn’t make sense that it can’t be done! ---

There seams to be a need to bulk updating inventory quantities in a bulk. why was inventoryBulkAdjustQuantityAtLocation declared deprecated? in the docs they argue that its about addind comments to the adjustment. i can’t see why this should not be possible with a bulk operations. the overhead on both sides integration and shopify is huge if you want to update thousands of skus ?
