What is a Product?
Products are the collection of items that you rent and sell to your customers. Your product is the folder that holds the stock. You can have bulk, serialised or non stock products and you can also specify whether the product is rental, sale or both.
Products can be a mixture of rental and sale stock items. Stock items are the physical number of stock that you have either serialised or bulk.
