The QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier of the inventory item to update.

The current revision number of the inventory item object you are updating, which you can get by fetching the object first. Provide the most recent revisionNumber to ensure you're working with the latest data; otherwise, the update will return an error.

Indicates whether to allow changing the inventory item's unit-of-measure set (using the unitOfMeasureSetId field) when the base unit of the new unit-of-measure set does not match that of the currently assigned set. Without setting this field to true in this scenario, the request will fail with an error; hence, this field is equivalent to accepting the warning prompt in the QuickBooks UI.
