## Overview

The item list and inventory are two views of the same catalog. The **item list** holds every product and service you offer (*Service*, *Service - Labor*, *Product - Inventory*, and *Product - Non Inventory* items), and line items on estimates and invoices are added from it. **Inventory** is the catalog of only the items you designated as *Product - Inventory*, with quantity, value, and location. Every inventory item is an item-list item, but not every item-list item is inventory. The item type you choose on each item decides which view it lands in.

## How it works

* **Add items:** Bring in services and products by import, accounting sync, or by hand.
* **Track by hub:** Inventory hubs keep a separate count for each truck, van, or warehouse, with replenishment levels per hub.
* **Deduct and count:** FieldPulse deducts stock when a Material List reaches a Completed-type status or an Invoice reaches Invoiced / Finalized, and a count tool corrects hub quantities.
* **Serialize:** Track individual units by serial number.
* **Control access:** Grant each user Full Adjustment, View Access, or Inventory Count access per hub.
