What are Items, Groups and Units?


Definitions
Stock Items: Stock items the primary inventory entity, like Ledgers. Usually it means Item or Product. which can be buying, selling or issue for production purpose. Each item is required to be accounted for, and receipt or issue needs to be created. In fact, you will create a stock ledger accounted for, and Tally.ERP calls this account “stock Item”.

Stock Units: You can measure Stock Item by Units, like money is measured in Currency. For example, Liters, Meters , Kilograms, Pieces, Box, Dozen, etc. Units can be classified under the following types:
1.    Single Units: When only one Unit is used for receipt and issue of stock items. Abovementioned are all example of Single Units.
2.    Compound Units: When two different types of Units can be used for receipt and issue of the Stock item is called compound unit. For example:
First Unit    Conversion Factor     Second Unit
Dozen             12                                Pcs.
Meter             1000                            Millimeters.
 Box                30                               Pcs.

Stock Group: As per requirement of the business items can be created, but to generate a report on similar type of stock items you need the classification of stock items.
