An order is required before you can create an item. Follow the Create an Order steps and come back if you haven’t created an order yet.

The concept of “Item” in Precious Metals Manager represents a specific product, including name, physical details, year, quantity, unit price, tax, spot price, numismatic value, and note.

When you make a purchase at a coin shop or from another individual, you are buying items that form part of an order.
