How can we deal with digital inventory?

Summary:

We are seeing more companies move away from tangible products to digitised sales, for example, software (business and games).

Microsoft Office, for example, is now downloaded and installed, as opposed to a stack of discs in a box loaded to a machine, but physical or digital, a reseller should be treating the costs and transactional flow associated with the item the same; buy, store, sell, invoice, account for.

In addition these products may be invoiced via subscriptions - with a subsequent requirement for a new order at the end of the subscription period. 

• Can Inventory Management handle items that are not stocked but transacted?
