Is there a reason you cannot change an object you have created from company owned to customer owned?
When creating a serial object in the serial objects view, you can select company or customer owned. When creating a serial object in the object view, you cannot and by default the object is created as company owned.
Only when it is returned on the returns tab in the work order, can it be changed to customer owned. But this does not change the ownership of the object itself, which will forever stay company owned.
Is there an incentive to change this? Does it matter?
