Products
The Products page allows creating products that are used to easily buy or sell items via transactions within Invoiced.ai. Depending on your subscription level, products support various pricing strategies and can maintain their stock levels within the warehouse. Products can be purchased (and have their stock increased) via purchase orders and other AP transactions. Products can be sold (and have their stock decreased) via AR invoices. You can also manually update inventory levels via inventory adjustments.
