Yes, or have a 'stock number' assigned by the system. That's what a
stock number is. Its physically placed on the item, and perhaps the
serial number, etc added into the system on receipt of goods. This is
where the system's scope expands beyond basic accounting, to support
business operations (stock control, stock receipt, warehousing,
distribution etc)

Yes, its a module, or whole subsystem, or an interface to an entire
other application. How far and where does LedgerSMB go?

No I am not. I am only discussing/analysing the functional requirement.
Whether or when its designed and implemented into LSMB is another
matter.
