Equipment Number

Enter an identification code that represents an asset. You enter the identification code in one of the these formats:

• Asset number (a computer-assigned, eight-digit, numeric control number)

• Unit number (a 12-character alphanumeric field)

• Serial number (a 25-character alphanumeric field)

Every asset has an asset number. You can use unit number and serial number to further identify assets. If this is a data entry field, the first character you enter indicates whether you are entering the primary (default) format that is defined for the system, or one of the other two formats. A special character, such as a slash (/) or an asterisk (*), in the first position of this field indicates which asset number format you are using. You assign special characters to asset number formats on the fixed assets system constants form.
