How to save a zero value stocktake and archive a stock location

Introduction

If a user no longer wants to use a specific stock location, they can archive it. Before archiving it the user should ensure there is no closing stock value linked to the stock location. They will be prevented from archiving it if there is still a closing stock value and will therefore need to record a zero value stock take first.
