(1) If we set host inventory to disabled and try to set some inventory fields in a single request, the API should fail as well.

jelisejev Let's change the new error message to 'Inventory disabled for host "%s".' so it would reference a specific problem host.
jelisejev After some discussion we decided to leave the message as is. CLOSED.
(2) In CHost.php:
1. line 1021: if you don't need $hostids to be a hash, it's best to use array_unique() to get rid of duplicates.
2. line 1259: multi-line SQL queries should't be written in a single string, but using multiple concatinated strings to avoid including unnecessary tab characters in the query.

TESTED.
Fixed in 2.1.0 r35375
(3) Тhere is an error when editing or importing host:

(5) Update of inventory fields causes undefined indexes
API::Host()->update(array(
'hostid' => 10089,
'inventory' => array(
'contract_number' => '1234567890'
)
)
Undefined index: inventory_mode [CAPIObject->update() → CAPIObject->__call() → czbxrpc::call() → czbxrpc::callAPI() → call_user_func() → CHost->update() → CHost->massUpdate() in /home/sasha/zabbix-svn/branches/dev/ZBX-6465/frontends/php/api/classes/CHost.php:1248]

(6) API call creates incorrect inventory record
API::Host()->create(array(
'host' => 'host5',
'groups' => array(
array('groupid' => 4)
),
'interfaces' => array(
array(
'type' => 1,
'ip' => '127.0.0.1',
'dns' => '',

),
'inventory' => array(
'contract_number' => '1234567890'
),
'inventory_mode' => -1
));
INSERT INTO hosts (host,name,hostid) VALUES ('host6','host6','10090');

INSERT INTO host_inventory (hostid, contract_number, inventory_mode) VALUES (10090, '1234567890', -1);

(7) Simple host mass update without any change fires with validation error:
Inventory disabled for host "Riga". [hosts.php:269 → CAPIObject->massUpdate() → CAPIObject->__call() → czbxrpc::call() → czbxrpc::callAPI() → call_user_func() → CHost->massUpdate() → CZBXAPI::exception() in /home/zabbix/www/trunk/frontends/php/api/classes/CHost.php:1275]
tomtom RESOLVED in r35630. Please take a bit more care to language as I took "muss" as "must" not "mass" so making sentence irrational 
.
Eduards CLOSED, grammar corrected, thanks!
Tested!
