<h4><a name="MAPI-Inventory-Examples"></a>Examples</h4>

<p>Change manage_stock setting to ‘off’ in the inventory area.</p>

<p>$attributeSets = $client-&gt;call($session, ‘product_stock.update’, array(’SKU’,array(’manage_stock’=&gt;'0’,’use_config_manage_stock’=&gt;'0’)));</p>

<p>The use_config_manage_stock unchecks the ‘Use Config Settings’ box which allows you to make changes to this product and not to use the global settings that are set by default.</p>
