Create new item from pre-printed label URL
What is the problem you are trying to solve with this feature?
It would be great to pre-print labels, then have scanning the QR code for an asset id that doesn't exist bring up the form to create that item.
What is the solution you are proposing?
For example, if asset id 000-015 doesn't exist in the db yet, going to /a/000-0015 allows you to create that item instead of going to /home with the asset not found error.
This would be useful for printing labels, putting them on items, then using a cellphone QR scanner to populate the inventory.
What alternatives have you considered?

Bump for this. I'm adding a few hundred items to my inventory so far, and having to rifle through my labels to find the next sequential QR code is a pain. If we could add by scanning, that would be much easier.
I also would find this very useful, and was going to look at it and see if it's an easy feature I could quickly add however with how asset IDs are sequential, simply scanning a code out of order could create many odd gaps in the asset numbering. Maybe that wouldn't be a problem, not sure. To add this feature I think the api call to add items would have to be changed to allow specifying the ID, or would it be better to add it than make a call to update item to change the id?
