Description

This session provides methods to re-assign Items to Banks. An Item may map to multiple Banks and removing the last reference to an Item is the equivalent of deleting it. Each Bank may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

Moving or adding a reference of an Item to another Bank is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id).
