Yes.  However, goods by nature are different like permanent goods, consumables, semi-consumables and salvage.  Each inventory item is classified in any of these.  Similarly, each item requires different types of storage - regular warehouse, temperature-controlled and so on.  To move further the transportation, loading and unloading, stacking requirements all are different.
