Edge cases
- Reading stock needs no add-on. Changing it through Stock Levels does.
- Every store starts with one location called Main, and the register always sells from the default location, or the first active one if none is default.
- Without the add-on, the Advanced Inventory screens are refused and the product form still tracks stock.
