How to configure Multi Source Inventory (MSI) in Magento 2.3

Question

I've heard that Magento Core guys have just developed Multi-Source Inventory functionality

(https://github.com/magento-engcom/msi).

So I guess it means that I can place my products in different countries and depots to be calculated by Magento.

I want to use this feature on my website, because I've been trying to do something like this for a long time.

So, does anybody know how to correctly configure this feature? Also Share any helpful links or manuals ?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can proceed on the wiki page of the project - https://github.com/magento-engcom/msi/wiki and from the right side of the page you will find "MSI User Guide" which describes how to set up the project and use its main features.
