Units of measure

Bulk items are components tracked by quantity in inventory. They are one of three item types in the items catalog. For full documentation on bulk items — including how to create, edit, and manage them, see the items catalog page.

Bulk items were previously referred to as "parts" in earlier versions of Hardfin. All existing parts have been automatically migrated to bulk items in the unified items catalog.
