inventoryBulkToggleActivation

mutation

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

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.
