This is for product rental. It kind of falls in between. It's not for company use, but it's not being offered for sale (transfer of ownership).
Fixed Assets and Inventory are terminology for Financial accounting in the sense and distinction that you're making. However, inventory has a seperate meaning in regards to product availablity. The InventoryItem entity in OFBiz is a product entity, not an accounting entity. So, the available for rental of serialized inventory falls closer to this model. --- David E Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Sep 16, 2006, at 8:54 AM, Chris Howe wrote: > > > There would probably also be a > FixedAssetInventoryItem > > entity to accomplish this but at the moment I'm > > concerned about the duplication/ability to go out > of > > sync of the serialized inventory that's > > assigned/recorded at receiving a shipment and the > > rerecording of those idValues for the fixed asset. > > Generally when something is purchased it is received > either as a > FixedAsset for company use, or as an InventoryItem > for resale.
