  You can use ajax.data to send additional data to the server, that would be the way to go.

  That was not quite the answer I was looking for. But I did find it after some rewording of my searches. Here is that I wanted:

  data: function(d)
  {   
      var table = $j('#tbl').DataTable();
      var stored = table.row( this ).data();
  
      d.extra = {};
      d.extra.itemUPCID = stored.item.upcID;
      d.extra.boxUPCID = stored.box.upcID;
      d.extra.caseUPCID = stored.case.upcID;
  
          return JSON.stringify( d );
  }
  

  Which then sent the additional missing information I needed to my server side update.

  For others searching for the answer, it was linked to fnGetData() which was replaced by .row().data(); No where that I have seen (or maybe misread the docs) does it tell you that this stores ALL the data handed to the row, which includes data not used by the columns.

  Which is useful when using the Editor plugin, because that only send column data and not the full row data.
