# inventoryBulkToggleActivation - admin-graphql - MUTATION
Version: 2024-04

## Description
Modify the activation status of an inventory item at locations. Activating an inventory item at a particular location allows that location to stock that inventory item. Deactivating an inventory item at a location removes the inventory item's quantities and turns off the inventory item from that location.

### Access Scopes
`write_inventory` access scope. Also: The user must have a permission to update the activation status of an inventory.


## Arguments
* [inventoryItemId](/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-04/scalars/ID): ID! - The ID of the inventory item to modify the activation status locations for.
* [inventoryItemUpdates](/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-04/input-objects/InventoryBulkToggleActivationInput): InventoryBulkToggleActivationInput! - A list of pairs of locations and activate status to update for the specified inventory item.


## Returns
* [inventoryItem](/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-04/objects/InventoryItem): InventoryItem The inventory item that was updated.
* [inventoryLevels](/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-04/objects/InventoryLevel): InventoryLevel The activated inventory levels.
* [userErrors](/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-04/objects/InventoryBulkToggleActivationUserError): InventoryBulkToggleActivationUserError! The list of errors that occurred from executing the mutation.
