1. Items: Defined

The primary purpose of Production Tracking is to monitor the progress of a product as it is being manufactured in your factory.

Products, however, are rarely made up of just one or two parts; products are frequently comprised of several hundred different parts. For example, a personal computer or an automobile each has literally hundreds of parts that make up the whole.

Tracker has the flexibility to monitor parts in production as they come together to make up your finished product.

An Item represents the physical part or assembly that is being tracked. It is assigned an Item Id and/or a Reference ID for identification purposes (serialized items only).
