# New parameter on `fulfillmentServiceDelete` to control inventory behaviour on location removal

As of GraphQL API version `2024-10` we will introduce a new enum field for the `fulfillmentServiceDelete` mutation. The `inventoryAction` field will allow partners to specifiy the behaviour regarding the inventory when deleting a fulfillment service. The options are:

1. `KEEP` - this option will convert a Fulfillment Service's locations to be owned by the merchant and therefore the inventory at those locations becomes the responsiblity of the merchant.
2. `DELETE` - this option, when there are no outstanding fulfillments, will delete the inventory at the location and then the location itself.
3. `TRANSFER` - this is the existing behaviour, where a `destinationLocationId` is provided as the destination to relocate the inventory to, before the location is deleted.

If either `KEEP` or `DELETE` are provided, it is not possible to also specify a `destinationLocationId`.

If `KEEP` is provided, then the merchant must have a sufficient remaining quota of locations on their plan for this operation to succeed, an error will be returned if they do not.
