Can the same part with different serial be used for both company-owned and company-rental assets?

Hi Folks,

we currently have a serial part that is owned by our company in our stock. I would like to allocate a portion of this part for rental purposes. However, I am encountering an error message when attempting to transfer the ownership location from company-owned to company-rental.

I have two questions regarding this.

1. Can the same part serially unique be used for both company-owned and company-rental assets?

2. Can the part be kept in the same location, regardless of whether it is a company-owned or company-rental asset?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
