## Key Concepts

### Item Types

Moselle supports three item types:

* **Core SKU** - A standalone product with its own inventory and demand tracking
* **Component** - A raw material or part used to make finished goods
* **Bundle** - A group of SKUs sold together as a single unit

{% hint style="info" %}
**Handling Variants:** For products with size/color variations, create one Core SKU and link all variant listings to it. This rolls up demand for better forecasting. See [Create an Item](/operations/catalog/create-an-item.md#handling-product-variants) for details.
{% endhint %}

### Custom Attributes

Attributes are custom fields you define to organize your catalog. Common examples include:

* Product line (e.g., "Summer Collection")
* Product type (e.g., "T-Shirt")
* Material, color, size
* MOQ (minimum order quantity)
* Lead time

{% hint style="info" %}
**Attributes are shared across your entire catalog.** When you create an attribute on one product, it becomes available for all products in your account.
{% endhint %}

### Catalog Health

The catalog page shows data issues that affect forecasting. Issues are categorized as:

**Blocking Issues** (prevent forecasts from being generated):

* **Missing Unit Price** - Required for top-down revenue-to-unit conversion
* **Missing Sales Listing** - Required for bottom-up ML model training
* **Missing Comparables** - Required for new SKUs without sales history

**Non-Blocking Issues** (reduce accuracy or limit features):

* **Missing Unit Cost** - Affects margin and cost calculations
* **Missing Product Line/Type** - Limits filtering and reporting
* **Missing Supplier** - Prevents purchase order generation

See [Triage Catalog Issues](/operations/catalog/triage-catalog-issues.md) for details on each issue and how to resolve them.
