- Infoblox has over 1500 items on its price lists but can currently only ship 10 physical products. Items are either hardware, configured systems, support contracts, or software licenses.
- Configured systems are made up of individual hardware items and license "bom" items which generate entitlement keys. For example, an IB-1550 can ship as one of 60 different SKUs depending on included licenses.
- Inventory is tracked both physically and financially in different subinventories like new, refurbished, evaluations, and advanced replacements. Order types like internal, evaluation, and RMA flow through inventory differently for accounting and physical tracking purposes.
- Financial reporting on orders is impacted by order type, ship from location, and accounting
