An "Item" represents a general object that has customized requirements and specifications defined by the user, which outline its functional needs and characteristics.

A "Product" is a specific type of Item that is associated with a particular product, available for purchase from a Supplier and/or Manufacturer. Product can exist independently or be assigned to an Item that includes the predefined requirements and specifications of the associated Item.

An Item can have multiple Products associated with it, but each instance of that Item can only be assigned a single Product.
