Communicating inventory quantity or status updates allows companies to maintain accurate inventory records, which ensures compliance with government regulations, optimizes warehouse operations, reduces inefficiencies, and prevents stockouts or overstocks. Companies are also able to make informed decisions regarding procurement, production, and inventory management strategies. Suppliers use inventory updates to communicate information about changes in inventory quantity or status with their remote or third-party warehouses or CMOs. ![](/sites/default/files/tech_comms/mpl/Content/Resources/Images/global_images/note_tip_24x24.png) Contact your TraceLink Services representative for more information about integrating with this message. - **Message Type**: MPC\_INVENTORY\_UPDATE (Inventory Update) - **IDoc Format**: MBGMCR03 and WMMBID01 - **Transform Names**: - B2B\_IDoc\_MBGMCR\_MBGMCR03\_InventoryUpdate\_IB\_V3 - B2B\_IDoc\_MBGMCR\_MBGMCR03\_InventoryUpdate\_OB\_V4 - B2B\_IDoc\_WMMBID\_WMMBID01\_InventoryUpdate\_OB\_V2 - B2B\_IDoc\_WMMBXY\_WMMBID01\_InventoryUpdate\_OB\_V3 [![Closed](/sites/default/files/tech_comms/mpl/Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)Guidelines](#) Input Element Occurs Length Description Example MBGMCR03 \[1…1\] – **Required.** XML IDoc DESADV root element. – IDOC \[1…1\] – **Required.** IDoc root. – @BEGIN \[1…1\] 0/\* **Required.** Begin of message attribute. 1 EDI\_DC40 \[1…1\] – **Required.** IDoc control record. – @SEGMENT \[1…1\] 0/\* **Required.** Begin of segment attribute. 1 TABNAM \[1…1\] 0/\* **Required.** IDoc table name.
