# Canonical Item IDs & Aliases

# Canonical Item IDs & Aliases

Keep one item identity while supporting legacy third-party names.

**Applies to:** `Nord Inventory v2.0.0`

Nord Inventory resolves legacy aliases before authoritative item operations. The default alias map includes common QBCore-style ammunition IDs such as `pistol_ammo`, `rifle_ammo`, `shotgun_ammo`, etc.

```lua
local canonical = exports.nord_inventory:ResolveItemName('pistol_ammo')
-- -> ammo-9 with the default alias table
```

Add server-specific legacy names to `Config.ExternalItemAliases` instead of duplicating item definitions under multiple names.
