Examples of typical Inventory Systems are:
When you establish a new-different Inventory System, it is your intent to keep those Items and Operations associated with it "separate" for those of any other Inventory Systems.
Items and operations can not naturally "cross" Inventory Systems.
This pertains to all facets of Inventory, Purchasing, Point-of-Sale -- and, for Food/Beverage, Recipes.
Sales, on the other hand, can bridge multiple Inventory Systems.
A Section's Point-of-Sale (and Inventory) can involve only one Inventory System.

Point-of-Sale Food Item: A flag that allows Items to have Modifiers.
Item has Sizes: - A flag that allows Items to be created with Size breakdowns.
