# Item schema

> The org/item schema, describing the products and services that document lines refer to.

[`org/item`](https://docs.gobl.org/draft-0/org/item) describes a single product or service. Items appear inside invoice, order and delivery lines, and can also be stored as documents in their own right to keep a consistent catalogue across documents.

Minimal use is a name and a price. Fuller use adds descriptions, supplier references, SKUs and units.

| `ref`                 | Your general-purpose reference, SKU or article code. Easier to use than `identities`. |

| `alt_prices`          | Equivalent prices in other currencies.                                                |
| `unit`                | Unit of measure.                                                                      |

| `images`              | Images of the product.                                                                |
| `attributes`          | Additional descriptive key-value pairs.                                               |
| `ext`, `meta`         | Regime-specific extension keys and internal data.                                     |
