Deletes several unit of measure groups in one call.

POST /inventory/unit-of-measure-groups/bulk-delete

Group: Inventory › Unit of Measure Groups · Operation ID: bulkDeleteUnitOfMeasureGroups

All or nothing. Every identifier is resolved and checked for references before anything is deleted, so one unknown identifier or one group still in use fails the whole call and nothing is deleted. A group must be empty first: reassign any items and remove its conversion lines, the base unit's line included, with deleteLines on PATCH inventory/unit-of-measure-groups/:id. Use DELETE inventory/unit-of-measure-groups/:id to delete a single group.

Parameters

Name	In	Type	Required	Description
`Api-Version`	header	`"v1"`	yes	The API version this request targets, named by its public identifier. Required on every request; omitting it, or naming a version this company does not have, is answered with 400. This document describes version `v1`.
`Idempotency-Key`	header	string	no	An opaque caller-chosen string (1-255 characters) that makes this request safe to retry. Repeating the same key with an identical request body replays the original response instead of re-executing - but only once that original request succeeded; a failed attempt re-executes on retry. Repeating the key with a different body is answered with 422. A key still in flight is answered with 409 - as is a key whose original request was interrupted before it finished, for a few minutes afterwards, until that attempt is presumed dead. A completed response stays replayable for 24 hours. The key is scoped to the caller, not to the action: reusing it for a different action is answered with 409 or 422 rather than treated independently. On read actions this header is ignored. On write actions that cannot offer the guarantee it is answered with `400 IDEMPOTENCY_NOT_SUPPORTED` rather than silently ignored.

Request body

Required, application/json: bulkDeleteUnitOfMeasureGroupsInput.

Field	Type	Required	Description
`ids`	array of string	yes	The unique identifiers for the unit of measure groups to delete. Each must already be empty, with no items pointing at it and no conversion lines left. If any identifier matches nothing or any group is still in use, nothing is deleted and the whole call fails.

Example:

{
  "ids": [
    "3b7d5e9c-1a24-4f80-9c6d-2e8f70b13a45",
    "e57a0d34-9f62-4b18-bc25-71a6e8039d4b"
  ]
}

Response

200 Success

Under data (bulkDeleteUnitOfMeasureGroupsOutput):

`deleted[].id`	string	yes	The unique identifier for the deleted unit of measure group.
`deleted[].name`	string	yes	The display name the deleted unit of measure group held.
