In many businesses field staff can take stock from multiple stock locations.
Previously when staff are taking stock from a stock location which is not their default, they would need to add stock items one at a time and change the stock location every time.

When confirming the stock used the stock location the stock is being taken from can be seen at the top of the screen as per below:
