In the example below we are adding an Inventory Item for FLOWERS which is part of the MISC Inventory Group. The item costs the property $30 and sells to the guest for $50 and is subject to $0 Occupancy Tax . It is set to Sell Online "No" which means it will only be available at the front desk and not through ANY online channels.
If the status was set to "Yes", then the item would be available for guests to select during an online booking and can be used in creating packages. See Packages
