References and variants: categories, brands and units
Categories, brands and units are shared item references. Color, size, season and attributes describe variants; they are not all required for every business.

Categories, brands and units are shared item references. Color, size, season and attributes describe variants; they are not all required for every business.
Use one reference value per color or size to avoid duplicate variants. A color lot number differs from the color identifier.
A price list defines pricing for an audience or use. A credit limit belongs to the party and differs from item price or discount limit.
A stock item tracks quantities; a service is not physical inventory. A variant distinguishes an item version such as color or size, and cost differs from sale price.
Read inventory by warehouse and variant. Availability may differ from total quantity; inspect movements and reservations shown on screen.
A transfer changes stock location within the company. It is different from selling stock or changing its total balance; check source, destination and variant for each quantity.
A physical count compares actual stock with recorded balance. Adjustments address documented differences; opening balances are for migration, not new discrepancies.
