# InventoryItem Input Unification

Up to this point, you can send Inventory Item data in two places: through Product Variant mutations or on the InventoryItemUpdate mutation. Each of these places has a different input object type with very similar fields, with some keys showing up in one instead of the other.

As of Admin GraphQL API version 2024-07, these two input types are being unified. `InventoryItemInput` will now be the input object type on `inventoryItemUpdate` instead of `InventoryItemUpdateInput`.

At the same time the following fields were added on `InventoryItemInput`:

* `sku`
* `countryHarmonizedSystemCodes`
* `countryCodeOfOrigin`
* `provinceCodeOfOrigin`
