Master Items

Master Items are reusable templates for products you sell repeatedly. They save time and ensure consistency when adding inventory.

What Are Master Items?

A Master Item is a product template that stores:

• Standard product information

When you acquire new units of that product, you can quickly create inventory items based on the Master Item template.
