This is a huge missing component of the API. It seems that you can do just about everything else with the API, but anything to do with inventory (which is a very large part of some businesses) cannot be developed. Some of the developed applications could be:
- The ability for employees to scan barcoded materials into their phone and do on-the-fly inventory allocations (eg. a field employee could restock their truck and create the inventory allocation records).
- An easier interface for warehouse managers to manage inventory/dispensing of inventory for BOTH jobs and work orders (I know inventory can technically be allocated through work orders).

It just seems crazy that you can do really sophisticated things with the API like update an employee's deposit bank account, run general ledger reports, file liens/pre-liens, and even update custom fields, but you can't do a simple day-to-day task like update warehouse inventory.
