Inventory conditions are used to distinguish between normal inventories and defective or verification inventories. By default, a new inventory is always in the Normal status, but it is possible to change it later.
Three inventory conditions are already created in ALIX:
| Normal | Default condition. Cannot be deleted or deactivated. Only the Name, Color and Icon fields can be edited. |
