      summary: Batch add or update (partial) items asynchronously
      description: |
        Update a number of items asynchronously at once. If an item doesn't exist, it will be created.

        This endpoint allows you to perform partial updates - you can send only the properties that you want to add/modify, instead of sending the entire item.

        Asynchronous requests are processed according to the time they reach the service.  
        This means that requests to synchronous endpoints (for example, [`/bags/{catalogId}/items/{itemId}`](#operation/updateItem) may overwrite asynchronous operations which were sent earlier and queued due to high traffic.  
        This behavior also applies to requests from Automation and AI feed synchronization, which use the asynchronous mechanism.

        The request body can't exceed 256KB.
