Once a Part is created that has a Usage of "Inventory", an Inventory Item is created. Inventory Items associate to a specific Part and can consist of one or more Stock Locations. Each Inventory Item also contains the quantity of the Parts in stock as well as the average cost of buying the Part. Inventory Items are created by setting the Usage of a Part to Inventory, upon the creation/amendment of the Part. However, an Inventory Item still requires extra information once it is created and this can be done by clicking the "Inventory Search" button.
