I want to use the Inventory module to track inventory (dance costumes) of a group of artists. These are my needs:

* costumes are made up of different clothes and need to be kept together. 

* Each costume needs to have a uniquely identifying label

* each costume is assigned to an artist and need to track to whom


What is the best way to represent this?

Thinking
* piece of clothing => Product

* costume => package

* artist => location? (I don't see customers in Inventory)

* costume label => lot/serial number? (could be assigned to product too)


Any thoughts on this? Other Suggestions?


Thanks!

For which artist have which costume, take a look at the Rental App. Artist = Customer.

You can rent free of charge or with a charge.

 Packages or kit?  If you keep in stock complete packages for each artist, packages might be good. Packages can be labeled and tracked.  Create packages on goods receipt.

If you pick different clothes together for each artist for them to pick up, Kits might be the better solution.  

Test both processes to find out.

* piece of clothing => Product -> Yes

* costume => package -> No, I would have it as a KIT or BOM product depending on the level at which it is tracked

* artist => location? (I don't see customers in Inventory) -> use WH/Out operation while handing over the costumes. You would have the 'contact' field populated from Delivery address.

It is possible to view products in customer location, (Reporting > location) remove the default filter of internal locations and group by location

If you wish to view products by contact -> Operation > deliveries filter for state 'done' and group by 'contact'

If the costumes are returnable, then use the return button on the delivery order to record receipt

* costume label => lot/serial number? (could be assigned to product too) -> Yes, by serial number. You would assign to product if the costume is KIT or to costume if it is a BoM
