Our API docs are misleading for most post requests (we have a single request/response object and the docs reflect attributes that aren't acted upon). Please use https://docs.clover.com/reference/inventoryupdateitemstock-1 to update item stock.

   "alternateName":"aruna alternate name",
   "code":"123456",
   "price":"999",
   "itemStock":{"quantity":"10"},
   "priceType":"FIXED",
   "hidden":false,
   "available":true,
   "autoManage":false,
   "defaultTaxRates":true,
   "isRevenue":true,
   "taxRates":[
