What is an Entity or Entity ID?
Updated

Entity refers to either a Personnel record (employee, trade, or craft) or non-stocking Location (such as a project site which may have an associated PM or superintendent) responsible for checked out inventory.
The Entity ID is either the Personnel ID or the Location ID and must be unique. A Personnel ID cannot exist as a Location ID and vice versa.
Entities have inventory issued to them from the stocking location or can return inventory to the stocking location. Inventory can be reassigned between entities in the field. Entities can also create requisitions or service requests. Entities cannot in turn issue inventory as they do not own it.
