​Item Attributes are similar to custom fields but can be applied to individual items. For example, if a material has a certain grade, you can set up an attribute dropdown to list those grades and apply this to one or more items, and the dropdown only appears for those items. Item custom fields should be used when the field makes sense for all items.​
