Hello Sruthi,
Configuration Item (CI): Any computer, device, software, or service in the CMDB. A CI's record will include all of the relevant data, such as manufacturer, vendor, location, etc. Configuration items can be created or maintained either using tables, lists, and forms within the platform, or using the Discovery application.

Catalog Items:
Catalog items are goods or services that are available to order from a service catalog. Administrators and catalog administrators can define catalog items, with details such as formatted descriptions, photos, and prices.
