Service - Inventory Manager

Overview

Each inventory type is handled by a Service - Inventory (handlers) service.

The specific identification method is used for accounting and tracking individual units of inventory, this applies COGS individually to each unit and allows for transparent supply chain at a per unit level. Fractional selling of units is not allowed, so when inputting inventory should input at the smallest divisible unit it can be sold at.

The Inventory Manager service handles detail shared by all Inventory Handler services.
