With respect to managing assets by item, a prefix can be set up to autogenerate item numbers. Examples of this use could be ‘ELM’ (electric motor), ‘PU’ (pump).
As well as the prefix, this number must also contain the last available sequential number. When a new item is created, it is automatically given the next available number.
