Modify InventoryItem was Expand GoodIdentification

Alternatively, if you have must have a distinction
between "InventoryItem" and "FixedAsset" why not have
a parent table called "Item" with either changing the
primary keys of InventoryItem and FixedAsset to itemId
or simply have a join table between InventoryItem and
Item as well as between FixedAsset and Item so their
keys can be translated. Since both can reside in a
facility.  This way FixedAsset is only handling
accounting information and the related Item is
handling the facility/physical information.

pretty confusing for users of the system, as well as
make the code a  
fair but messier.
