What needs to be done for the Multi-Location Inventory to be effective after its enabling?

For Multi-Location Inventory to be effective after it has been enabled, it is crucial that all existing inventory be aligned with the new system's structure and processes. This means that in practice, it often requires that existing inventory levels either need to be sold off or adjusted so that they can be accurately tracked and allocated across the designated locations. By ensuring that all inventory is cleared, organizations can avoid discrepancies which may arise from trying to map old inventory distributions to the new location-based system.

In environments using the Multi-Location Inventory feature, having unaccounted inventory may complicate fulfillment processes, reporting mechanisms, and general stock management, ultimately hindering the benefits this feature is supposed to provide.
