# Update a transfer route

> Change only the fields sent: `source_mode`, `destination_mode`, `channel_id`.

The warehouse pair is the route's identity and cannot change: a body with `source_warehouse_id`
or `destination_warehouse_id` gets `422` ("A route's warehouse pair cannot change. Delete it and
PUT the new pair."). The 3PL push-channel rule is checked against the route as it will be saved,
so attaching a 3PL-pushing channel to a route with an automated source is refused too.
