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

may sound weird but our users like to reuse their internal Id for a
fixedAsset after a fixedAsset has reached endOfLife.
