An item type refers to a category or classification assigned to an item in the inventory. A single item type refers to a category that contains only one type of item. In this context, these are items that only exist as themselves. This item type is used when creating standalone items, which fall under the consumable category and do not have variations. #### Use Case Adding a tennis ball as an item When adding a tennis ball to the item, "single" is selected as the product type. As tennis balls do not come in different sizes and colors, which need to be tracked, so they are considered a "single" product type.
