The item grade defines the quality condition of the item. It allows you to track the quality of an instance of the item, typically by lot. For example, a Normal grade could be used to indicate an item that is acceptable as produced or consumed by an operation. A Scraps grade could be used to indicate that the item was rejected during production or was waste during consumption.

A Finished Product state indicates items whose production is complete and that are shippable.
