No source location defined on stock rule: :name!

Error message

No source location defined on stock rule: :name!

What it means

ProcurementRunner::runPullRules() iterates matched (request, rule) pairs for PULL actions and requires each rule to have a source_location_id — the generated moves source from that location. A pull rule without a source location throws immediately, naming the rule.

Solutions

1. Open the named rule (Inventory > Configuration > Rules) and set its Source Location
2. If the rule should not pull from anywhere, change its action away from Pull or disable it
3. Add a validation step in rule-import tooling that rejects pull rules without a source location

Example fix

// before
// Rule 'WH: main -> stock' action=PULL, source_location_id = null
$runner->run($requests); // throws: no source location

// after
$rule->update(['source_location_id' => Location::where('type', LocationType::INTERNAL)->first()->id]);
$runner->run($requests);

$badRules = Rule::where('action', RuleAction::PULL)
    ->whereNull('source_location_id')
    ->pluck('name');
if ($badRules->isNotEmpty()) {
    abort(422, 'Pull rules missing a source location: '.$badRules->implode(', '));
}
app(ProcurementRunner::class)->run($requests);

function isRuleRunnable(\Webkul\Inventory\Models\Rule $rule): bool
{
    return $rule->action !== RuleAction::PULL || $rule->source_location_id !== null;
}

try {
    $runner->run($requests);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    if (str_contains($e->getMessage(), 'no source location')) {
        // set source_location_id on the named rule, then retry the procurement
    }
}

When it happens

Trigger: A procurement/reorder run (e.g. reordering rule firing or MTO confirmation) matches a pull rule whose source_location_id is null. The throw happens before any move is created, so nothing is half-written by this check.

Common situations: Rules created via seeders/APIs that omit the source location; the field cleared in the UI or by a mass update; copies of rules that lost their location during data migration.
