Product is what you sell Inventory is what you buy to sell. the Product ID may have no resemblance to the Inventory ID. You may receive the inventory from may sources and each one my call it something a little different.
so to take your example. https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/catalog/control/EditProductFeatures?productId=WG-9943 are the features now look at the inventory https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/catalog/control/EditProductInventoryItems?productId=WG-9943&showAllFacilities=Y you will see a feature code for each feature. this become the actual product code for each item. and is how there are tracked in inventory. when you drill down to the item https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/catalog/control/EditProductInventoryItems?productId=WG-9943-B3 and now the confusing part https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/facility/control/EditInventoryItem?productId=WG-9943-B3 lets you created a seperate inventory Item ID for that product with that feature. as you can see you can have many Inventory ID Or Inventory Items for a Product. Under that Iventory ID that is linked back to the product you can recieve and issue Items https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/facility/control/ViewInventoryItemDetail?inventoryItemId=9010&facilityId=WebStoreWarehouse Andrew sent the following on 12/13/2007 8:52 PM: > I'm apparently missing something about the way inventory works, but hey I'm > still learning. > > I have set up a product (Gearbox) with a few selectable features.
