In Standard ERP you should store information about the products and services that you sell in the Item register. This register is accessible from many modules including Sales Orders and Purchase Orders, the Sales Ledger, and the Contracts, Production, Quotations, Service Orders and Job Costing modules if installed.

You can group Items of a similar type together using Item Groups. You can give every Item belonging to the same Group can be given the same default Sales and Cost Accounts, Stock Account and VAT Codes, saving you the work of having to specify these for each Item individually. Defining and assigning Item Groups also makes modification easier: if you need to change the Cost Account, for example, you only need make one change (to the Item Group), rather than many (to each of the Items).

If you specify information both in an Item Group and in an Item belonging to that Group, the information in the Item record will take precedence. For example, if you specify a Cost Account in an Item Group and in an Item belonging to that Item Group, the one in the Item record will be used.
