Import/export shelf locations on items

Shelf locations assigned on items can be exported to Excel and to 3rd party.

In Excel export, checkboxes for export can be found under Store assortment section, below Label Type. In order to export these values 'Include value per store' needs to be checked. When the user selects any of the Shelf location checkboxes, the Order point checkboxes are disabled, and vice versa. Shelf locations assigned to items are exported to 3rd party in Item.ItemStoreOverride.Export blob.

User can import Excel file with new columns and add shelf location on item. If shelf location exists for store, it is not necessary to provide shelf area and type codes in import, the assigning will be done by shelf number.

It is possible to create new shelf location, during process of assigning them to the items - then both already existing shelf area code and shelf type code have to be specified in import. In this scenario, if shelf area and type code won't be specified in import and user wants to create a need shelf location upon assigning - there will be warning displayed in Import details view, that some shelf location won't be created due to insufficient permissions'.

Values for 'Main shelf location' and 'Delete shelf location' are by default set to False, if not provided in import.
