Common Fields Used in This Implementation Guide

Asset Number

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

1: Asset number (a computer-assigned, 8-digit, numeric control number).

2: Unit number (a 12-character alphanumeric field).

3: 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 that 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 / or *) in the first position of this field indicates which asset number format that you are using. You assign special characters to asset number formats on the fixed assets system constants form.

Business Unit

Enter an alphanumeric code that identifies a separate entity within a business for which you want to track costs. For example, a business unit might be a warehouse location, job, project, work center, branch, or plant.

You can assign a business unit to a document, entity, or person for purposes of responsibility reporting. For example, the system provides reports of open accounts payable and accounts receivable by business unit to track equipment by responsible department.

Business unit security might prevent you from viewing information about business units for which you have no authority.

Customer Number

Enter a number that identifies an entry in the Address Book system, such as employee, applicant, participant, customer, supplier, tenant, or location.
