# Inventory Item new fields and ProductVariant deprecations

As of Admin GraphQL API 2024-04, there will be new fields exposed on `InventoryItem` (and related input types) and some fields on `ProductVariant` (and related input types) that were marked as deprecated.

For `InventoryItem` and related input types:

* `InventoryItemMeasurement` and `InventoryItemMeasurementInput` were added as new types, with a single field: `weight` (which is a `Weight` type).
* `measurement` was added as a field to `InventoryItem`.
* `harmonizedSystemCode`, `measurement`, and `requiresShipping` were all added as input fields to `InventoryItemInput`.

For `ProductVariant` and related input types:

* `fulfillmentServiceEditable`, `weight`, and `weightUnit` were all marked as deprecated on `ProductVariant`.
* `harmonizedSystemCode`, `requiresShipping`, `weight`, and `weightUnit` were all marked as deprecated on `ProductVariantInput` and `ProductVariantBulkInput`.

These changes are all in support of removing long-deprecated fields on `ProductVariant` and removing the duplicated fields between `ProductVariant` and `InventoryItem`.
