# Inventory Items
|
|
|
|
Inventory items represent hardware components installed within a device, such as a power supply or CPU or line card. They are intended to be used primarily for inventory purposes.
|
|
|
|
Inventory items are hierarchical in nature, such that any individual item may be designated as the parent for other items. For example, an inventory item might be created to represent a line card which houses several SFP optics, each of which exists as a child item within the device. An inventory item may also be associated with a specific component within the same device. For example, you may wish to associate a transceiver with an interface.

!!! tip
|
|
Like most device components, inventory items can be instantiated automatically from [templates](./inventoryitemtemplate.md) assigned to the selected device type when a device is created.
