Create Tags for Fixed Assets in Axapta

As far as I know creating tags for Fixed assets is not a built-in, out of the box functionality in AX. Although, Creating RFID tags for items is possible.
If the requirement is very important, I would suggest custom development.
You have to do the following customisation:
1. Go to
Inventory Management > Common Forms > Fixed Asset Details
Select the Asset and go to Command > Record Info
The window below will appear:

Similar to 'Print all fields' button, create a button to print only the fields which you want to print for the Fixed Asset Tag.
2. You can place this button to print the Asset Tag in the main Inventory Form also.
Note: There might be other ways of implementing the requirement for printing tags for fixed assets in Axapta, and I have suggested one approach. Implement it if you find it suitable.

Print Management in AX

When you post or reprint business documents such as sales orders and purchase orders, the resulting documents, such as invoices or packing lists, can be printed using the defined settings for the effective original or copy records in print management.
Accounts receivable > Setup > Forms > Form setup > Print management
–or–
Accounts payable > Setup > Forms > Form setup > Print management
–or–
Project > Setup > Forms > Form setup> Print management
Use this form to set up print management original or copy records and conditional settings. This information controls the way that documents, such as sales orders and purchase orders, are printed during the posting process.
Note: If you want to print multiple copies of the original document, use the 'number of copies' feature on the print settings page which appears after you give the print command.

Setting Financial Dimensions for a Site in AX 2009

Setting up a link between a financial dimension and the site inventory dimension enables a company to produce profit and loss figures per site.
Establishing a financial dimension link to a site results in the following conditions:
A financial dimension is associated with the site inventory dimension.
A financial dimension value is associated with each site.
Click Inventory management > Setup > Posting > Dimension link.
In the Dimensions field, select the financial dimension that you want to link to the site inventory dimension. The Department dimension is selected by default, but you can change it.
Click the Sites button to open the Sites form. The financial dimension that you selected (in the previous step) now appears as a column header on the Overview tab.
Select a site. In the Dimensions column, select a financial dimension from the lookup list. The list displays the dimensions that are set up in the Dimensions form, which is located at Basic > Dimensions.
The specified financial dimension value is now associated with the selected site. Repeat this step for each site.
