A loss is an amount of money that an entity has lost at a specific date.

Losses and incidents need to be distinct objects because:

-Losses of different natures can be linked to the same incident,

-One incident can trigger several losses after it was detected,

-Losses can be used in the general ledger, whereas incidents are not.

The scope is defined on the incident and automatically inherited by the loss. If the loss scope varies from the incident's, then it can be overwritten.
