Chris Howe commented on OFBIZ-419:
----------------------------------
My personal take on things that have to do with dates is to use EntityStatus entities. Currently there isn't a FixedAssetStatus, but this issue could change that. While a FixedAsset.isActivated indicator field is denormalization of a hypothetical FixedAssetStatus, it may warrant a inclusion just for ease of use.
The reason why you might not want to have a FixedAsset.dateDeactivated is because you may have multiple time periods of activiation/deactivation for the same asset.
It's doubtful, being an accounting entity that you would want to delete anything. Deleting records eliminates your ability to maintain a "paper" trail.

> Currently it is not possible to deactivate (or delete) Fixed Asset. There might be a reason for this due to sale or write-off of the fixed asset.
> I think there should be a field "Date deactivated", and a checkbox on FixedAssets screen enabling showing/not-showing of deactivated fixed assets (those whose Date deactivated < today).
