There are 2 different types of facilities that come into play here.  
The first is the "store" or the building where stuff is sold. The  
second is the inventory facility, which can be the same and often is  
but it doesn't have to be. The code needs to know which is the  
"store" facility as there are certain settings there for the store  
facility and it gets that from the POS config. One of the things it  
needs to know from the store facility is the productStoreId. The  
other facility it needs to know about is the facility to use for the  
inventory operations, and it gets that from the ProductStore.
