create an Inventory asset category, and create as many sub-categories as
you need to.  Purchases add to the inventory; sales delete from it, etc.

Yes, but the connection to general ledger (the sort of things here) are only a small part of an :"inventory system". OTHER pieces would be things like (but not limited to)

1) Where are these widgets kept? (in what building, on what shelf, etc.)

2) What is the re-order point? (when the number of widgets left falls below X, order more_

3) From whom are they ordered? (supplier information)

4) Alternate suppliers (if the one in "3" can't fill the order)

5) Usually batch information (cost not necessarily the same for widgets added to inventory at different times). I've usually just used an account per batch in the general ledger and so could store that information in the description but the organizations tended to be selling very few different sorts of things.
