This is a fine way to think about it if your "production capacity" is fixed. However, when renting items (especially of low value) you are constantly replenishing your stock. The processes that calculate serialized inventory appear to do a much better job of handling product availability. Where it's simply updating the status of the inventory item from "Available" to "Delivered" to "Available". For my use rental of these items only differ from the sale of serialized product in how you're charging the customer and that it will be returned (the return date is unknown). So if that's the only difference, why handle it so radically different?
