Hi Square Team,
I hope you’re doing well!
I have a question regarding the item data structure. I noticed that for some items, the field present_at_all_locations is set to true, but there are still values listed in the present_at_location_ids array.
Could you please help clarify how these two fields are intended to work together? Specifically, I’m wondering why present_at_location_ids would contain values if present_at_all_locations is already set to true.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Murphy

The present_at_all_locations field indicates whether the item is available at all locations. If it’s set to true, the item is available at all locations.
The present_at_location_ids field lists the specific locations where the item is available. This field is typically used when present_at_all_locations is set to false, meaning the item is only available at specific locations.
However, it’s possible for an item to be available at all locations (present_at_all_locations is true) and still have specific locations listed in present_at_location_ids. This could occur if the item was initially set to be available at specific locations, and then later updated to be available at all locations. The present_at_location_ids field would still retain the specific locations where the item was initially available.
In general, if present_at_all_locations is true, you can assume the item is available at all locations, regardless of what is listed in present_at_location_ids.
