Twirll inventory is a very useful tool to effectively maintain your business as well as products. This inventory is capable of doing all the things that a person have to do manually to maintain his stocks. All the operation that can be done on a product is also applicable on the product available on Twirll. There are various elements of Inventory such as Catalogue, Product, Variant etc. that can be maintained very easily with this system.

There are some basic terms that are used in the Twill Inventory and we also use in our daily life. Let’s take a look at what they actually means.

Inventory: Inventory refers to the goods and materials that a business holds for the ultimate purpose of sale or we can say that the raw material, work-in-process goods and completely finished goods that are considered to be the portion of a business’s assets that are ready or will be ready for sale.

Catalogue: A catalogue is the unit element of inventory. All the records of the inventory are categorized into different catalogues as per their type. Each catalogue is assigned a particular location and catalogue contains the product of that category.

Product: Any tangible or intangible good or service that is a result of a process and that is intended for delivery to a customer or end user. Product collaboratively makes a catalogue and can be drilled down to variants. A product can be defined as something that the business sells to the customer and charge him to completely handing over it to him.

Variant:  A form or version of product that differs in some respect from other forms of the same product. Variant is defined for the individuality of product , means that If the product has multiple forms(color, price, make or size etc.) then these are called as the attributes of the product
