# Technical Inventory

Technical Inventory refers to all the items, such as inventory items, in the Technical Catalog.

The Technical Catalog defines Technical Specifications, which is a generic term for the definitions of services and resources that are not commercially exposed, but are needed to fulfill the commercial requests. The Technical Specifications are defined as Products. Configuration Specialists can use the full power of the Enterprise Product Catalog. However, unlike commercial product specifications, for technical specifications, you can use only attributes and not fields. The Technical Inventory and its inventory items only apply when deploying Vlocity Order Management.
