The Product Catalog is the central registry for all products available to you. It contains product detail information. (You enter or set available inventory amounts for locations using Inventory Adjustments or shipments.)
Note: You cannot delete a product from the Product Catalog if it is stocked at any location or has been included in any shipment or transaction.
To help you organize your inventory, you can create product categories and assign products to them. You can enter and (in most cases) edit the following information for each product in the Product Catalog:
