Concepts in this group
Families
Groups of items that share properties or processes.
Items
Operational units for stock, purchasing, sales, manufacturing and costs.
Family vs item
Criteria for separating families, variants and physical references.
Properties
Reusable attributes for variants, validation and conditions.
Units of measure

How they fit together
The family organizes variants. The item is the operational reference with its own stock, orders, manufacturing and costs. Properties explain the differences between items in the same family.
