      The Finished Good item type is used for items, which are finished goods of a manufacturing process. This type tracks stock.


    3. In the Lot Tracking field select whether the item is Lot Tracked or not.

      2. Select Yes-Manual if the item is lot tracked and will manually enter the lot number.
      3. Select No if he item is not lot tracked.

    4. Select Category. 

      Category is used to group together items that are of the same kind. Doing so will be easier to assign Tax and GL Accounts to items since you will not have to assign/add it on each and every item. Instead, Tax will be assigned and GL Accounts will be added to the Category, then once Category is selected for the item, Tax and GL Accounts will be applied. Though you can still define Tax Class and GL Accounts at item level.

      Ex. GL Accounts for selected required accounts can be modified at Item Level.

      Note that for Finished Good item type, it is required that you have Work in Progress GL account setup. You can setup that at Category Level or Item Level like shown in the screenshot above.

    5. Select Commodity.

      Commodity is used to group together items that are of the same commodity. This is required if you will use the item in a Contract, either in Purchase Contract or Sales Contract. It is in Commodity where you will configure the Unit of Measure. Once Commodity is selected for the item, it will auto-populate the item's Unit of Measure grid. This is handy since you will not have to add Unit of Measure to each and every item. Though you can still define Unit of Measure at item level.
