Throughout multiple iterations of Magento 1 and Magento 2, inventory features were limited to work only with a single physical goods location and provided limited configuration options. As an open-source platform, Magento has long listened closely to its developer and merchant community, who are empowered to request and develop new features for the product. One of the most requested features was support for multiple locations for the inventory and a set of APIs to perform everyday day-to-day actions efficiently.
