I don't know... that sounds like a pretty bad practice to me. You would never know for sure which item you're dealing with...

From a modeling perspective reusing an ID should be fine because those IDs are not guaranteed to be unique or anything. Still would you need a from/thru date for this? Would reusing the ID without the from/thru date work? Based on what you describe a thruDate would actually be redundant because it should be the same as the end of life date for the FixedAsset.

Is it ok to add fromDate and thruDate to FixedAssetIdent entity? I know it
may sound weird but our users like to reuse their internal Id for a
fixedAsset after a fixedAsset has reached endOfLife.
