# \_setStock

Set general Stock assigned to a Job.

### Parameters

#### id

The ID of the Job to assign the Stock to.

#### val

JSON-encoded list of stock items to assign.

### Example

```
	FM_API(
	'Job_setStock', [
		'id'=>'7',
			'val'=>'[{"id":"7","amt":"3","source":null}]'
		]
	)
```

### Result

#### On Success

```
{'ok':1}
```

### Notes

This function is used to assign stock that is generally for the job itself, not stock that is specific to a field within the job form. To edit field-specific stock, you need to use Job\_setField instead.

The val parameter is a JSON encrypted array of objects with three parameters; id, amt, source. The "id" parameter is the ID of the stock item. The "amt" is how many to assign, and the "source" is an optional value explaining where the stock item was sourced from.

The "source" value is a value "x\_y", where "x" is an integer description of the type of source (1=user, 2=vehicle, 3=location), and "y" is the ID of the source.

### Example with a vehicle:

```
	FM_API(
	'Job_setStock', [
		'id'=>'7',
			'val'=>'[{"id":"4","amt":"2","source":"2_139cad5ef4d3bd9bbd06022e5862fce0"}]'
		]
	)
```

### Example with a user:

```
	FM_API(
	'Job_setStock', [
		'id'=>'7',
			'val'=>'[{"id":"7","amt":"3","source":"1_32"}]'
		]
	)
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fieldmotion.com/fieldmotion-api-docs/job/_setstock.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
