Retrieve an inventory adjustment

Retrieves an inventory adjustment by ID.

IMPORTANT: If you need to fetch multiple specific inventory adjustments by ID, use the list endpoint instead with the ids parameter. It accepts an array of IDs so you can batch the request into a single call, which is significantly faster.
