Content

DevDocs affected: https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.3/rest/modules/inventory/manage-source-selection.html

Need to add info on another SSA available out of the box: Distance Priority Algorithm. For details, see the draft user content: https://github.com/magento-engcom/msi/wiki/Configure-MSI-SSA

There is a new CLI command for Distance Priority Algorithm: php bin/magento inventory-geonames:import <countries>... Space separated command required as part of the Distance Priority Algorithm set up.

For example, if you want to import geocodes for the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, and France, you would use the command:

php bin/magento inventory-geonames:import us uk fr it

See the draft user content for some background/merchant steps. Short term, may want to just update the content.
