These items appear in the drop-down list in Add Charge, see Add Charge, and as Items for sale on your website if you have the POS feature enabled. See POS Module.These items can also be in seen in Daily Reports - Item Analysis Reports.
Once you create an Inventory Item, you can assign it to an Inventory Group, See Inventory Groups Inventory Groups are used for categorizing Inventory Items in both the Add Charge drop down list and on the Item Analysis Report.

These mandatory Inventory items enable charges to be posted to folios including Room Rent, No Show charges, and Guarantee by Direct Bill.

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
