I got this from the General Entity Overview document:
EntityType is used to describe an Entity. A given EntityType can inherit
features from a parent EntityType if one is specified in the parentTypeId
field of a given EntityType instance.
So perhaps I should create a subType of FINISHED_GOOD and use something like
the method I mentioned below to retain it's functionality in other areas?
