Inventory Items   
Purpose

The Inventory Items Window is used to establish and configure the items that will be inventoried. Inventory Items are counted in Inventory, received via Invoices and depleted through sales. Inventory Items as well as Menu Items with the “Inventoried” option are configured from this interface. An example of a Menu Item with the “Inventoried” option is bottled beer because it is sold as well as Inventoried.
