In Drupal Commerce 2, if you need to create a commerce_stock_location entity programmatically, follow these steps:

---

Step 1: Ensure Required Modules Are Installed

1. Drupal Commerce: Ensure you have Drupal Commerce and Commerce Stock modules installed.

   composer require drupal/commerce_stock
   drush en commerce commerce_stock -y

2. Check Entity Availability: The commerce_stock_location entity is provided by modules like Commerce Stock API or Commerce Stock Location. Ensure these are installed.

---

Step 2: Create a Commerce Stock Location Programmatically

Use the following code in a custom module or via a script:

use Drupal\commerce_stock\Entity\StockLocation;

$values = [
  'name' => 'Main Warehouse',  // Set the location name
  'status' => TRUE, // Active status
  'uid' => 1, // Assign user (optional)
  'field_address' => [  // Optional: If using an address field
    'country_code' => 'US',
    'locality' => 'New York',
    'administrative_area' => 'NY',
    'postal_code' => '10001',
    'address_line1' => '123 Main Street',
  ],
];

// Create and save the entity
$stock_location = StockLocation::create($values);
$stock_location->save();

OR

use Drupal\commerce_stock_local\Entity\StockLocation;
$query = \Drupal::entityQuery('commerce_stock_location')
    ->condition('type', 'default')
    ->condition('name', 'Warehouse-2')
    ->accessCheck(TRUE);
  $results = $query->execute();
  if(count($results) == 0) {
    $values = [
      'name' => 'Warehouse-2',  // Set the location name
      'status' => TRUE, // Active status
      'type' => 'default',
    ];
    // Create and save the entity
    $stock_location = StockLocation::create($values);
    $stock_location->save();
  }

---

Step 3: Verify the Created Entity

• Run drush cache:rebuild to clear cache.
• Check in the admin UI under Commerce → Stock Locations to see if the new location appears.

---

Optional: Load an Existing Stock Location

If you need to load an existing commerce_stock_location entity by ID:

$stock_location = StockLocation::load($location_id);

To load all stock locations:

$stock_locations = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('commerce_stock_location')->loadMultiple();

---

Step 4: Assign Stock Location to a Product

If you want to associate a stock location with a Commerce Product:

$product = \Drupal\commerce_product\Entity\Product::load($product_id);
$product->set('stock_location', $stock_location->id());
$product->save();

---

Final Notes

• Ensure you clear cache after adding new locations:

  drush cr

• If using address fields, confirm the Address module is installed and enabled.

This method allows you to create and manage Commerce Stock Locations dynamically in Drupal Commerce 2. 🚀
