# Allow item activation at legacy location

As of Graphql Admin Api version **2024-10**, calls to mutation `inventoryActivate` can use an optional parameter `stockAtLegacyLocation`. Setting this parameter to `true` will allow inventory to be activated if the `locationId` provided is associated with a fulfillment service that does not permit sku sharing.

If an item is activated at a location that does not permit sku sharing then the item will be deactivated at all other locations.

If an item is currently active at a location that does not permit sku sharing and you want to activate that item at another location the `stockAtLegacyLocation` parameter also needs to be set to true.

Learn more about `inventoryActivate` on [Shopify.dev](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-10/mutations/inventoryActivate)
