Select the devices to change:

Parameter Name	Data Type	Description

accountName optional *Recommended	string	The name of a billing account. This parameter is only required if the UWS account used for the current API session has access to multiple billing accounts. An account name is usually numeric, and must include any leading zeros. *By coding for the account number today, you prevent future code from breaking if you ever add a new sub-account.
groupName optional*	string	The name of a device group, if you want to only include devices in that group.
servicePlan optional*	string	The name of a service plan, if you want to only include devices that have that service plan.
customFields optional*	list of customField objects	Custom field names and values, if you want to only include devices that have matching values.
key required for customFields	string	The name of the custom field. Valid names are CustomField1, CustomField2, CustomField3, CustomField4, and CustomField5.
value required for customFields	string	The value of the custom field. The value is not case-sensitive, but other than that it must match exactly with the value set for a device. Wildcards and partial matches are not supported.

* You can either specify up to 10,000 individual devices with the devices parameter, or you can use any combination of groupName, servicePlan, and customFields to run the request on all devices that match all criteria.

Change or remove the cost center code:

Parameter Name	Data Type	Description
costCenter optional	string	The new cost center code. Valid values are any string of up to 36 alphanumeric characters, space, dash, exclamation point, and pound sign.
removeCostCenter optional	Boolean	Set to true to remove the cost center code value. This flag takes precedence over a new costCenter value. If this flag is true and costCenter has a value, the cost center code is removed. Do not include this parameter, or set it to false to change the costCenter value.

Parameter Name	Data Type	Description
primaryPlaceOfUse required	object	The customer name and the address of the device’s primary place of use. These values are applied to all devices in the request.
