Auto build Inventory Item via API

Question

Hi Guys&nbsp;AccountingRight Premier Live&nbsp;I am developing a platform that allows creating item sale invoices in bulk via API. Some of the items is "order to made" and inventory tracked with auto-build configured. Normally when creating the invoice manually in the MYOB, if the item has 0 on hand, then the auto-build window will be prompted to ask whether you want to Build or Buy or Back Order the item. It keeps returned "Inventory_InsufficientStockMultipleLocation" error when the API creates an invoice that contains an out-of-stock item (even the Auto Build) is configured.&nbsp;&nbsp;I contacted MYOB API team, and they have confirmed that Auto Build is not accessible via API.&nbsp;My question is:Does anyone know if there is an alternative way to create an invoice for out-of-stock items (with inventory track) via API?orAny marketplace app that will do the job?&nbsp;Thank you!!

Hi&nbsp;Roy152478&nbsp;&nbsp;Unfortunately the API throws an error if an stock item dips below 0 - no way around it - i.e. AccountRight permitting negative stock in AccountRight Enterprise - no longer exists.&nbsp;Is ther an alternative - not really&nbsp; -&nbsp; the API cannot handle it - the only way I could think of is pre-building a certain level of stock with autobuild - and have your API give you a sensible warning that the autobuild item is low on stock.&nbsp;I am sure this is possible as a workable solution - or your API tells you how many items of the autobuild you need to manually build - tells you to do it and checks there is enough in stock.&nbsp;The limit is the API - and it does not have an auto-build endpoint - so there is no way to force the issue.&nbsp;The Doc&nbsp;
