Question about WorkEffortInventoryAssign and WorkEffortInventoryProduced

[Jacopo Cappellato]

I have a question about the entities WorkEffortInventoryAssign and
WorkEffortInventoryProduced: should we deprecate them because they store
redundant information with the InventoryItemDetail entity?

Good question Jacopo... Yeah, InventoryItemDetail could have all of  
the information so we wouldn't need the others.

It's a good question though as there might be other needs that we  
wouldn't want to put into the IID entity.

Whatever the case, the WorkEffortInventoryAssign and  
WorkEffortInventoryProduced entities were always a bit unnecessary,  
ie one would have done the job instead of two.

Anyway, the comment above about possible future requirements is just  
a thought and doesn't really matter, if we have a need in the future  
that the InventoryItemDetail won't handle well we can always  
introduce something then.

Another similar entity is ItemIssuance, but that has other  
implications so it might not be best to use. Actually for the  
inventory assign it makes good sense, but not so much for inventory  
produced.
