Records Control - Does each individual record need to be numbered?

I am curious about record control. Does each individual record need to be numbered? I know a template needs to be numbered but once it is completed, it is considered a record (i.e. a preventive maintenance checklist). Does this new record need an individual record control number?

Uniquely identifiable. Can be a date, for example. Doesn't have to be a number.

Right. Or a job number, or a quote number, or an employee name, or a supplier name .....
