Inventory Control - Item Types
Function

Item types are logical groupings of inventory items that serve as filters on reports, bulk price changes, or when rebuilding beginning balances. At least one item type must be defined, and each inventory item must refer to an item type. The item types may be as broad or as narrow as required. A listing of all item types and their descriptions is also available.
