The inventory management system within katmandoo allows storage of items. An Item might be a seed packet, a cutting a tube of tissue intended to be linked to a genotype. Items require a unit barcode identifier and a stocktaking application can be used to keep track of weights, quantities and storage locations of the associated items.
An initial Katmandoo installation only includes one organisation, called Unknown Organisation.
Default Columns
Organisation comes with the following system columns
| Column name | Column Description |
| ItemBarcode | This key unique identifier for an item. The barcode can be generated, manually set or a combination can be implemented. Examples: 0000000A, ABC-235-211 |
| ItemWeight | The weight in consistent units of the item Examples: 1.234, 1012.89 |
| ItemQuantity | The quantity of objects within the item container. This could be the number of seeds or the number of bundled cuttings. Examples: 2, 50, 100 |
| IsBarcodeGenerated | Whether the barcode has been autogenerated or manually set. This value cannot be modified through the interface. This field is used for calculation of new generated barcodes. Examples: TRUE (Barcode Generated)/FALSE |
| ItemSource | The source of the item. This might be a coded path from the items nursery location or the code from an external supplier. Examples: DEMO2021-01-23, MY_SUPPLIER |

| GenotypeName, Selection History, GenusName | Associated genotype details for the item |
| FemaleItem, MaleItem | Male and female barcode values that were used to create the new item |
| ItemFemaleParent, ItemFemaleParentSH, ItemMaleParent, ItemMaleParentSH | Actual parents used to create the new item. When selfing occurs the actual parent genotype name may be the same name as the genotype name because the parents of the genotype may represent the base cross. |

| Storage Barcode | Barcode of the storage location, which may be a room, a tray or a shelf Examples: COLDROOM1, CR1TD6C1R2, Room1-Tray5E |
| Container Type | The vessel containing the item stored in a location. Examples: Bottle, Packet, Tube |
| Item Type | The type of object that the item represents Examples: Seed, Pod, Cutting |
