                Stock  Items :  
                  Stock items are 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  account for each item and Tally.ERP9 calls this account “Stock Item”. 
                   
                Stock  Units of Measure:  
                  Stock Items are  mainly purchased and sold on the basis of quantity. The quantity in turn is measured  by units. You can measure the 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 : 
                
                  - 
                    
Single  / Simple Units : When only one Unit is used for receipt and  issue of stock items. Above-mentioned are all example of Single Units. 
                   
                  - 
                    
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.  |

                Stock  Group :

                As per requirement  of the business numerous items can be created, but to generate a report on  similar types of stock items you need the classification of stock items.
