Departments have the responsibility to ensure all new asset purchases are uniquely tagged by a numbered security tag. This should contain a unique number to allow the asset to be tied up to the details on the asset register. It will allow for a quick and easy check.
Departments have the ability to add tag numbers to assets at the Accounts Payable processing stage or the Fixed Asset module has a field where the Tag number can be entered by a department for each asset once it is on the system.
