I usually sharpie the cable and box as I'm pulling it and sharpie the inside of the wall box on the far end. Later, after the sheetrockers and painters have covered the cables, you can still scrape it off the box when you terminate. Number sequentially around the building, any cables run afterwards are given the next number on the patch panel.
