# ItemType

> The kind of an item. The kinds exclude each other: an item is exactly one of them for its whole life. Being a combination of a variation parent is not a kind and is not visible on the item itself: the parent owns that relation. New kinds are added over time, so a consumer has to tolerate values it does not know and treat such an item through the properties every item has.



**Kind**: `enum`

## Values

**`REGULAR`** — A regular sellable item without stock management and without further structure.

**`STOCK_ITEM`** — An item whose stock is managed in whole units, with optional batch, shelf life expiration date or serial number tracking.

**`DIVISIBLE_STOCK_ITEM`** — An item whose stock is managed in fractional quantities, for example 2.5 units. Serial number tracking is not possible.

**`SUBSET_STOCK_ITEM`** — An item whose stock is managed in subsets (German 'Teilmengen'), each with its own subset number. It needs a dimension set with a value per dimension and a reservation. Neither serial numbers nor batch nor shelf life expiration dates are possible.

**`KIT`** — A bill of materials (German 'Stückliste'): sold as a set of component items. It has no stock management and no purchasing of its own and inherits its stock behavior from its components.

**`VARIATION_PARENT`** — The parent of a variation combination. It holds the variation axes, is not sold itself and has neither own price nor own stock. The items that are its combinations are read through its sub-resource and are items of any kind except a variation parent.

**`CONFIGURABLE`** — An item the customer configures by choosing components from configuration groups.

**`SINGLE_PURPOSE_VOUCHER`** — A voucher item whose voucher is redeemed once against a single, already known tax rate.

**`MULTI_PURPOSE_VOUCHER`** — A voucher item whose voucher can be redeemed against any goods and is therefore not taxed when sold.

**`PACKAGING`** — A packaging item (German 'Kartonage') used when shipping. It is stock-managed and not sold to customers.
