If you need to know where the units with particular characteristics are stocked, you can use the Stock Balance (with Locations) report which shows the item quantities in each warehouse, each location (if this functionality is enabled) on the specified date. For items with variations, the quantities are split between variations (characteristics).
Products that your company purchases or manufactures and sells may have variations, such as different sizes, colors, materials, or other variations. Different variations of the same product may have different prices and be of different demand.
In FirstBIT ERP, for products with variations you can use the functionality of inventory item characteristics. This functionality enables you to assign a single inventory item code to all variations of the item and a specific characteristic to each variation so that each variation will be tracked separately from their "origin" (opening balance, production, purchase) to their "end" (sale, use in manufacturing, write off).
