What are Items, Groups and Units ?

Definitions:
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.
Meter	1000	Millimetres
Box	30	Pcs.

Stock Group :
Stock Groups in Inventory are similar to Groups in Accounting Masters. They are helpful in the classification of Stock Items.

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. This classification will help you to get stock report in an organized manner. For example, Raw Material, WIP, Finished Goods, Hardware, Software, Electrical, Electronics, etc.

Grouping enables you to locate Stock Items easily and report their details in statements.
