If your import file has an inventory column for a location that's been deactivated in Shopify, Altera now tells you about it and imports the rest of the row as normal.

### 🔧 Improvements

- **Deactivated locations** - inventory columns for a deactivated location are now skipped with a clear warning ([PRD076](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/11490216-error-and-warning-codes#PRD076)) in your results file.
- **Rest of the row still imports** - prices and quantities at active locations are applied as normal, so recurring syncs keep working.
