Change the list of locations that stock a product
If you stock products at more than one store location, then you can select the locations where you stock a product or variant from its detail page. When you remove a location from the list of locations that stock a product, the inventory quantity at that location is deleted.
If you enable Track quantity for a product, then you can track the product quantity for each location where the product is stocked.
