Reading between the lines; would it be reasonable to suggest we should
consider creating a new entity to represent "inventory item packaging" that
would have reference to the inventory item and its own set of facility,
container, location, etc. attributes?

Assuming yes, I would guess we would have to determine if this "packaging"
entity is going to represnt metadata about the packaging or an actual
instance of the packaging.  The location information would suggest the
latter, but the nature of the non-serialized inventory item would require a
slightly more complicated relationship then a nice one-to-one (50 ns items
-> 50 ii packagings).

For us there is no rush on this; we have not prioritized this business
requirement against others -- so just building a potential direction to go
forward with down the road.
