Products (SKUs)
A product — a SKU, for "stock-keeping unit" — is a finished good: something you make, buy, or sell, and that lives in finished-goods inventory. Where a material is consumed, a product is the thing that ends up on a sales order.
A SKU can be both an output and an input. Most are end products, but a SKU can also be a sub-assembly that feeds into another SKU's bill of materials — for example a filled-and-capped bottle that later goes into a gift set.
