The problem is, you are trying to mix the pricing model with the
product/fixed asset model. That will not work.
Here is how I would set things up based on my understanding of video
rentals:
[Products / Fixed Assets]
Product: Die Hard VHS Cassette
Product Categories: VHS, Action, Drama, Bruce Willis
Fixed Assets: 10009
Product: Die Hard DVD
Product Categories: DVD, Action, Drama, Bruce Willis
Fixed Assets: 10010, 10011, 1012
Product: Die Hard IIV DVD
Product Categories: New Releases, DVD, Action, Drama, Bruce Willis
Fixed Assets: 20020, 20021, 20022
[Pricing]
Product Category: VHS
Price: $1.00 per day
Product Category: DVD
Price: $1.50 per day
Product Category: New Releases
Price: $0.50 per day

If they are the same product, then they are in the same product categories.
so that is limitation of the current datamodel?......looks like i have
to create for every asset a product and a single inventory item of which
many have the same price and other data, only the picture is different
because i cannot store that on the fixed asset.
Then i also better use the 'instanceOfProduct field on the fixed asset
and do not need the fixedassetProduct entity and the recently added
fixedAssetId field on the inventoryitem..
I have three copies of the Die Hard DVD. Why would I want to put each
one in a different product category? What you are suggesting doesn't
make sense.
It might help if you gave some specific examples of what you are trying
to do.
I have a single product : "DVD midlevel price" relating to 10,000 dvd's
with different fixed asset titles in different genre's but the same
rental price

Hans,
The data model supports what you are trying to do if YOU think about it.
There is no need to connect a fixed asset to a product category.

and another instance showing in a different category......
Adrian, before you answer can you please think about it a bit?

but if you want a particular instance of a product?
I have products (as i described):
In this product type the product is a group of video rentals of the
same rental price referring to many video assets.

A fixed asset is an instance of a product, much like an inventory item
is an instance of a product. So, no - you do not want to connect a fixed
asset to a product category.
Product: Die Hard DVD
Product Categories: DVD, Action, Drama, Bruce Willis
Fixed Assets: 10010, 10011, 1012

Now we can have rental products where the asset can be rented....

However now we also want to categorize these assets in order to display
them on the e-commerce website.
Is adding a fixedAssetid field to the ProductCategoryMember entity a
solution?
