I am against removing InventoryItem.statusId: it is a good way to for example "hold" inventory (because of inspections etc...). I agree with the idea of reimplementing serialized inventory to be based (and consistent with non-serialized items) on inventoryItemDetails instead of statusId. After this change the only difference between serialized and non-serialized items will be that serialized items cannot have QOH greater than 1. Jacopo
