A functional description of an inventory item used in inventory and supply-related workflows.

12.30.1 Scope and Usage

The InventoryItem is used to define and specitfy the characteristics of a material item (Product) and the relevant characteristics when handling logistics: Inventory and Supply. This resource corresponds to (and expands) the InventoryReport resource's .item backbone element, and provides a reusable data object to express and use product characteristics in the Inventory and Supply (and Transport) aspects.

This resource approximately corresponds to "product" or "material" in ERP systems (e.g. SAP's MARA table) and to TradeItem in GS1 logistics standard - a core set of attributes that can be referred to when ordering, delivering, tracking or counting items, especially in situations where their clinical categorization (Medication or Device or BDP or Nutrition) is undefined or irrelevant - which is common in supply chain systems, especially in cross-realm, cross-border supplies.

The InventoryItem Resource:

is meant to be used in the logistics workflows aspects, when the specific resources cannot be used (due to indefinition, ambiguity, or need to cross-over between resources).
is NOT intended be used in clinical workflows, where the specific product resources shall be used: Medication, Device, etc.

The InventoryItem resource does not intend to provide a substitute for the other resources, nor overlap those in the clinical workflows, as those resources have their specific core characteristics. If a clinical resource wishes to add characteristics that are common for logistics, the InventoryItem can be a placeholder for these (e.g. adding Storage and Handling to a NutritionProduct). This resource is meant to contain the characteristics that are relevant for the logistics.

12.30.2 Boundaries and Relationships

The InventoryItem resource can be referenced from the following resources:

InventoryReport - when counting items in an inventory
Transport - for tracking the transport of inventory items
SupplyRequest- for requesting the supply of inventory items
SupplyDelivery - for reporting the delivery of inventory items
ServiceRequest - for example for requesting transport of items

Because the InventoryItem resource does not contain all the clinical characteristics of the products like Medication, Device, etc. the InventoryItem can refer to any of those product items.
