Item Types
Item Types are a grouping of information about a specific article (item) that can be transported from one location to another and for which a transport request can be created. This feature is used by administrators to manage and track items efficiently.
Where you can find this feature: Admin > Settings > Capacity Management > Miscellaneous > Dictionary Management.
