Maybe, we can put some of the functionality together, since the inventory management module, does handle items/goods/services in a more sales friendly way. The module is aiming to help the sales presentation and to help you with organize the products/inventory in groups based on item classes, item sub classes and manufactures .
I've just used taxonomy for organisation/grouping, and these modules http://drupal.org/project/directory and particularly http://drupal.org/project/refine_by_taxo Will work with that quite well. For example choosing CPU, then AMD, then Dual Core, and then only being presented with the 4 Dual core CPU's. Similar to how this site uses the car choices you make to narrow down the results when you click on the links on the left. http://www.carpoint.com.au/used-cars/
The module also enables you to import prices, stock value, weight, ean numbers from csv/txt files. It also enables you to check if any supplier have got any new products in any given item class or from any given manufacturer.
Similarly, the erp "item" module does complete import from CSV, creating nodes and also assigning taxonomy terms as best it can for manufacturer & category. function erp_item_import in this file. http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/erp/erp_item/erp_... Its built and we use it to import daily from a .csv of 40k lines from multiple suppliers, thus keeping pricing up to date on a daily basis.
