Items are things that you manufacture and sell such as chemicals, finished goods, raw materials, and parts. You can create an inventory of items that you typically ship from one destination to another. Once items are defined, they can be used on orders based on bulk data or any order base or order release. An item is the lowest level of detail that you can describe on an order. It identifies the specific goods or materials that you are shipping.

You can create an item by adding each item individually, or you can import your entire item master from an external system via integration. Once the item is imported, you can make modifications to the data or add new items as necessary. You can also create a packaged item and specify details on how the item is packaged and handled so it can be stored and transported properly.
