To begin with, we can look at how the orders are dropped.
1. Whether the orders are full pallets, partial pallets, cartons or loose.
2. Whether if the majority is single line/order or multiple lines/order.
3. What time the orders are dropped and when they need to be fulfilled.

Can we also look into the dimension, weight, and type of inventory?

Is this also a type of inventory profiling?

Some companies classify the goods in terms of the cost prices as well.

The inventory profile is intended for the implementation of and accounting for movements and on-hand inventory as they are related to a kind of activity. The kind of activity defines the way that the item was received by the organization and the restrictions that are imposed on the handling of the item. Here are some examples of kinds of activity:

1. The purchase of the item on the agreement for further sales or processing
2. The receipt of items under a commission agreement
3. The receipt of raw material for processing

In all these cases, the movements and on-hand inventory of the same item that is received by the organization as a result of different kinds of activity should differ in the following aspects:

1. Inventory management – Quantitative on-hand inventory of the item for different kinds of activity should not be mixed.
2. Accounting – Movements and on-hand inventory of the item for different kinds of activity should be reflected in different ledger accounts.

The inventory profiles functionality lets you perform these tasks:
