Products

The catalog of distinct kinds of asset a company tracks — e.g. "DeWalt 20V drill" or "1/2 in. wire nut". A Product is the type; an Item is the per-unit instance.

Products are either serialized (each physical unit tracked individually with its own serial number) or bulk (counted in aggregate by quantity). The choice is structural — it determines whether the linked Items are serial or bulk and how inventory is tracked. Products live in a Category, may be sourced from one or more Vendors, and may have per-Site stocking rules.

Two stock operations act on a bulk Product's on-hand count at a site. Restock receives a quantity from an external source (typically a vendor delivery), logging an inbound receive Transaction and incrementing the Inventory. Adjust corrects the on-hand count to a new absolute value, logging the delta as an adjust Transaction — use it when a physical audit reveals a discrepancy. Both are bulk-only. For movement between known locations, use Transfers.
