# Adding Scheduled Changes to Inventory

As of the 2024-01 version, you can Schedule Changes to your inventory quantities. For example, if an application user creates a purchase order and adds some incoming quantities for a specified inventory item at a location, they can then create a Scheduled Change that states the date these quantities are expected to be transitioning from incoming to available.

This information can then be used for planning to help the merchant make better buying or selling decisions. It will not automatically change any quantities, that still has to be done using one of the existing quantities mutations for inventory such as [InventoryAdjustQuantitites](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/mutations/inventoryAdjustQuantities). As part of this change there will be a new mutation [inventorySetScheduledChanges](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/mutations/inventorySetScheduledChanges) along with the [scheduledChanges](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/unstable/objects/InventoryScheduledChange) field on the InventoryLevel query model which will allow the merchant to access the Scheduled Changes for a specific item at a given location.

You can include links inline in the text, and add another link at the end in this format:
