Inventory variance question

[Bilgin Ibryam]

Hi devs,

I'd like to know, is there a reason for not allowing inventory variance
on serialized inventory items?
In Data Model Resource Book, there is no such a  restriction, the only
difference between serialized and not-serialized inventory variances is
that, it is with quantity 1 for serialized items.
I'm asking this, because I can't find how to record a stole serialized
item.
I checked statusId field, but it doesn't affect QOH or accounting, so it
is not applicable for this case.


Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Then variance would be boolean ?

If the status change for a loss isn't affecting QOH or accounting that  
is what should be fixed. Most of the status changes do result in  
quantity or other changes.

Jacques, David, thanks for your suggestions.

Changing serialized inventory item status change also the ATP/QOH, so I
will go with it for now.

PS:  Changing item status doesn't affect accounting, but higher level
services that do the status change, also trigger accounting
transactions.
