I know that you have already implemented it, but I still don't understand your response to my original comment... but it is ok. As regards the serialized/non-serialized item decision, the fact that you have decided to store the serial number in the FixedAsset entity and not in the InventoryItem entity is fine but I still think that the InventoryItem should be "serialized" (I am under the assumption that your InventoryItem cannot have a QOH greater than 1, if they are associated to FixedAsset with serial numbers in them).
