# Inventory Groups

You can organize inventories into groups and group types, to simplify maintenance, tracking, and assignment of inventoried items. The system uses Inventory Groups and Group Types to:

- Add items to inventory.
- Retrieve items from inventory.
- Assign inventoried items to customers.
- Organize inventoried items for display purposes.

To view the inventory groups currently defined in the system:

1. Click **Applications > Inventory Management > Inventory Groups**. This displays the Inventory Groups window.
