Both Serial Number and Asset Tag are important for tracking purpose. It need to be updated and well maintained in order to avoid mislead information. In some of the cases, having Asset Tag only does not able to really determine the current location of the asset due to duplicated or damaged. Hence, it needed Serial Number to help corfirmed the Asset Tag. This is because Serial Number is produced and given by manufacture, while Asset Tag is variance depended on company policy.
