See Managing Inventory of Individual Items in the Administration Module. Note: On Hand inventory for an item at a particular site can be either a positive or negative value.

Types of associations include: Up Sell Down Sell Cross-Sell Uses Used By Related To Group Includes Member of Group Kit Includes Member of Kit When an association is applied to an item, the reciprocal association is automatically applied to the associated item. For example, if you add an Up Sell association with item B to item A, item B automatically shows a Down Sell association with item A.

The Details section provides useful information. Activities: Enables the creation of activities on the customer record. Emails: Enables the creation of emails on the customer record.
