# Items

> Create, search, filter, and manage the products in your inventory catalog.

**Items** are the products or SKUs you track. Each item has catalog details (code, description, cost, supplier, tags) and **on-hand quantities** at each location — managed separately via stock adjustments and transfers.

## View inventory

Open **Inventory** in the sidebar. The page shows all items for your workspace, with quantities for the **currently selected location** shown in the dropdown at the top.

### Switch location

Use the location dropdown in the page header to filter the list to one location's on-hand counts. This does not hide items from your catalog — it changes which location's quantity you see.

### Search and filter

* **Search** — matches item code (SKU) and description.
* **Tags** — filter by one or more tags. If you have no tags yet, the filter offers a shortcut to create one.
* **Sort** — order by date created, SKU, description, or quantity.

### Display modes

Toggle between **table** and **grid** views using the display control in the toolbar.

## Add an item

1. Click **Add item** (keyboard shortcut: `C`).
2. Enter required fields:
   * **Item code** — your SKU or unique product code
   * **Description** — name or short description
   * **Cost** — unit cost (used for reporting)
3. Optionally add:
   * **Supplier**
   * **Tags**
   * **Opening quantity** — initial stock at the location selected in the inventory header
4. Click **Create item**.

<Tip>
  If no location is selected when you create an item, opening quantity is skipped. Use **Adjust stock** afterward to set quantities.
</Tip>

## Edit an item

Open the item's **⋯** menu and choose **Edit**. You can update SKU, description, cost, supplier, and tags. Changing catalog fields does not change stock — use **Adjust stock** or **Transfers** for quantities.

## Duplicate an item

From the **⋯** menu, choose **Duplicate** to create a copy with the same details. Useful for variants that share most attributes. Stock is not copied; set quantities separately.

## Delete items

* **Single item** — **⋯** menu → **Delete**
* **Multiple items** — enter selection mode, select items, then delete

<Warning>
  Deleting an item removes it from your catalog and its balances. This cannot be undone.
</Warning>

## Plan limits

Your workspace has a **total items** limit based on your plan. This is a cumulative cap — it does not reset each month. When you reach the limit, you cannot add new items until you upgrade or delete existing ones. Existing items and stock are unaffected.

See [Billing & plans](/dashboard/billing/introduction).
