We have a prefix.... DL for Laptop (Dell Laptop) and then the asset ID which is the next available number in field ID 1 DD for Desktop (Dell Desktop) M for Monitor LP for Printer (Lexmark Printer)
It makes sense. From there it is the actual asset number. We have no duplicates! DL004626 DD007852 M0002348 Etc... We even have a set of preprinted labels for when we take over a new company and need to put some identification on the assets. They are H000000.

But - I would not do a 3 letter prefix 4 letter suffix. I would go "pure random" or possibly using a GUID ??? Otherwise - you will have a constant flow of "unforeseen problems". ***Except - they are foreseeable :) Say two owning groups merge -- then what? Reprint the barcodes? -John On Thu, May 31, 2012 at 9:47 AM, Warren R. Baltimore II <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: ** I have what I hope is a simple issue. I am designing an asset tracking system. We will be utilizing ITSM 7.6.04. I have chosen barcode printers. We will be using the Zebra P4T Mobile solution to print our barcodes. The problem I am having (never having done this before) is figuring out the mechanism to get Remedy to print the barcode. We will be using a barcode that will have a 3 letter prefix and a 3-4 letter suffix. The Suffix is dependant on the organization that owns the asset. I will have a copy of the zebra designer pro v2 software to design the barcode, but I'm not sure how I will kick off the printing of it. Can somebody give me some direction here? Am I going in the right way? Thanks in advance! -- Warren R.
