if we have assets, shouldn't there be a relationship to inventory item, to be able to know what is in inventory?
This is in relation to to the rental of assets, which need to be shipped and returned. some background: A new product type in ofbiz: rental of items which need to be shipped. Currently we have the function in the system to be able to rent hotel rooms which obviously stay in house and do not need to be shipped. If however you would like to rent video's or cars or motorcycles the system should support its delivery with a shipment and return process. So when a shippable rental product is ordered, there will be created automatically a return when the order is completed. The order and shipment slip will list the product and the asset number, so the warehouse knows where to find the item. (if there would be a link between asset and inventory item) This shipment and return process however should not affect accounting what it currently does. Further it is required to ship 'assets' and not 'products' because they are an asset of the company which is rented. -- http://www.antwebsystems.com : Quality OFBiz support for competitive rates....
