Inventory type determines what fields are available for different categories. Putting information into the correct fields will assist with reporting, online integrations, etc. which makes selecting the correct inventory type an important step in customizing your categories.
All inventory types have the following fields:
Item Name, Category, Condition, Quantity, Cost (Store Owned Inventory Only), Price, UPC, Extra Information, Vendor, MSRP, E-Commerce Item, E-Commerce Name/Title, E-Commerce Description, Height, Width, Depth, Weight, Drop Ship, E-Commerce Tags
This inventory type should be avoided unless the additional fields from the other inventory types aren't needed.
