I do not believe there is an item type table.  The item type is a attribute of an item.  timItem.ItemType is the field that defines this, and allows 8 distinct numeric values enforced by a database constraint.

To see the defined item values and their associated descriptions types in Sage 500 ERP, you can use the following query (sorry, the editor removed the formatting):

SELECT
CONVERT(VARCHAR(40),LV.TableName) 'TableName'
,CONVERT(CHAR(30),LV.ColumnName) 'ColumnName'
,LS.StringNo
,S.ConstantName
,LEFT(LS.LocalText,25) 'LocalText'
,LV.DBValue
FROM
tsmListValidation LV (NOLOCK)
INNER JOIN tsmLocalString LS (NOLOCK) ON
LS.StringNo = LV.StringNo
AND LS.LanguageID = 1033
INNER JOIN tsmString S WITH (NOLOCK) ON
S.StringNo = LS.StringNo

WHERE
LV.TableName = 'timItem'
AND LV.ColumnName = 'ItemType'
ORDER BY
LV.TableName
,LV.ColumnName
,LV.DBValue

When you run the query you can see that timItem.ItemType = 5 is a finished good.

Besides this, there are some big assumptions such as timItem.ItemType values 1-4 are non inventory goods and item types 5 or greater are inventory goods.  Inventory goods have an entry in timInventory, while non-inventory goods such as "expense" or "comment only" item types do not.

I would caution people that adding an item type is a HUGE effort, especially if it is a non-inventory item type.

If this is not what you were actually looking for let me know.

Joe pulled together a great blog about how to add this to the Schema information found in Sage.  Would be a great add to a product release.  Step by step instructions of how to add it to 500 are in the blog.

He added this so that it could be launched right from the menu (screen shot #1).  Which then allows you to filter by TableName and ColumnName.  Or as seen in the second screen shot below you can see it as a preview in the Tables Explorer view.
