====== 2.01.28 Item ======

The **item** mask manages the articles (or external services) in the system, which can be invoiced on a project-related basis. Here you can store articles of the company's own product portfolio or external services with purchase and sales price. These services can be invoiced project-related in the mask [[..:kapitel_2:2.3.07_fremdkosten|external costs]] when [[..:kapitel_2:2.03_erfassungsmodul|entering]] them. In addition, this document type also provides information about the stock level of the article and enables the definition of the minimum stock level for the information if this minimum level is not reached.

Note: The articles are either own articles or external services like hosting packages, volume transfer (traffic), license packages and similar. These components can be used in [[..:kapitel_2:2.02.09_budget|budget management]], [[..:kapitel_2:2.4.01_angebot|offer generation]], external cost recording and as [[..:kapitel_2:2.4.05_vertrag|contract items]].
