Brand

Items are identified by a brand using a distinctive name.

A brand is typically the producer or packer of a certain product. For instance, Apple is a company that produces computers. A brand is merely the name by which a thing is sold, not necessarily the manufacturer of an item. For instance, if you produce plastic cups, you might license your product to a well-known company so that they can market it as their own.

For identifying and assigning specific defaults, Brands can be assigned to Items in ERPNext.
