Eszközszámú

Eszközszámú is a Hungarian adjective meaning “bearing an asset number” and is used to describe devices or items that have been assigned a unique asset identification number by an organization. The term signals that the object is tracked in an asset management system and appears in an asset register, in contrast to items identified solely by their manufacturer serial number or basic category.

In practical use, eszközszámú appears in procurement documents, inventories, maintenance schedules, and depreciation records. It is common in corporate, public administration, and educational settings where equipment is centrally managed. The term is often used together with related expressions such as eszközazonosító or eszközazonosító szám, which refer specifically to the asset identification number assigned within an internal system.

Asset numbers are typically alphanumeric codes that may encode information such as department, asset type, and sequential order. They help distinguish items that are otherwise similar and enable precise tracking of lifecycle events, including purchases, transfers, maintenance, warranties, and write-offs. Asset numbers differ from factory serial numbers, which are assigned by manufacturers and remain constant for the original item. The eszközszámú designation thus supports depreciation calculations, audits, and efficient asset management.

In Hungarian, eszközszámú is most commonly encountered in formal documentation and administrative contexts. Related concepts include eszköznyilvántartás (asset register) and eszközazonosító (asset identifier), which together underpin systematic inventory control and financial reporting.
