Inventory:
Inventory system is used to keep track of your items. i.e. which item came in and
which item went out of inventory and when the item count reaches below a certain
limit value then alert the responsible person to replenish it soon.

For example : When a customer orders 5 chairs and when you ship them to the
customer the count of the item goes down and when you manufacture them
internally and when the finished chair is ready and moved to the warehouse the item
count increases.
