Item types are a way of logically grouping items together in order to simplify and expedite searches in the PRT database.
Important: Every item defined in the
tracking system must have an item
type.
Item Types:
Classify groups of items in the
tracking system.
Are independent of region, group
or service.
An Item tracked by PRT must always reside in a Tracking Region.
