Chris,
Ours is a Utility Company, this application (In production has some more
tools that I'll add to this app overtime) was developed to Manage our Fleet
of Transportation Equipment. Now we are working on using it for Transmission
and Distribution system. We have a clear case of Managing FixedAssets
(Equipments). In my experience I have not had situation as you mentioned,
but its just me. This is reason why I don't have much input to share on your
Idea.
Regards
Anil Patel

----------------------------------
Hey Anil,
This is somewhat off topic to this contribution but I was wanting to get
some feedback from you since you've been working with the FixedAsset
entities lately.
There was a discussion a while back on the concept of FixedAsset vs
InventoryItem vs a generic Item. The general consensus of that discussion
was there was little real world use benefit to treating them both as generic
Items at least not in line with the amount of effort necessary to refactor
everything. There was also an opinion that they are absolutely different
things and shouldn't even be considered similar in the generic sense.
In our personal deployment we've been using the generic concept of Item so
that we can ship them the same, transfer them the same, take physical
inventory the same, allocate them the same, etc. In our real world the only
people that care whether it's a fixed asset or an inventory item are the
bookkeepers. This has been a slow process only incorporating features that
exist with the Fixed Assets and Inventory Items as we've come to need/use
them.
I was wondering if after your efforts for this contribution you would
agree with the notion that the similarities between FixedAsset and
InventoryItem constitute a generic Item and if so, would you be willing to
collaborate with me to bring the current feature set of FixedAsset and
InventoryItem to the generic.?
