Using the Inventory Visibility Service (IVS) API's, we would like to be able to request a view of the stock quantities in a different unit than the default 'Inventory unit'.
In Dynamics, you're able to view stock information in any desired unit (through i.e.: mi=InventOnHandItem), but this functionality is missing in the IVS.
Further context:
We sell items as separate pieces as well as by the box and each item has an item specific conversion 'Pcs' <-> 'Box'.
For our web shop we want to be able to give an indication of the stock ("Plenty of stock", "Limited availability", "Out of Stock", ...) depending on the chosen sales unit. As such, we would like to be able to retrieve the stock through IVS in the "Box" unit when the customers selects x boxes:
- ... > 100 boxes : Plenty of Stock
- 100 >= ... >= 1 boxes : Limited availability
- 0 boxes : Out of stock
At the moment we need to do 2 API calls to get the stock information and then another to get the unit conversions and finally do the calculation ourselves. So having this functionality would eliminate the need of the second API call and the calculations.
