Reset PO Number Each (M,Y,D,N)

When Purchase Orders are created in the Inventory modules they are automatically assigned a number. This option controls how often the system resets the auto-number that is configured in the Inventory > Purchase Orders module.

M = Monthly, Y = Yearly, D = Daily, N = Never.

Formatting options for the PO Auto number are found under Inventory > Setup.

Reset PO Number To

Dictates the number that the system resets the PO auto number to.

Validate Address?

Activates/deactivates the street name validation function. When this function is activated, any street name a user enters into the Address fields is checked against the Street Name List. If the name entered does not match a street in the list, the user cannot save the record.

Enable Falcon Document Management Integration

Enables agencies to integrate Lucity with Falcon Document Management, a document-imaging system that can be used to attach documents to inventory assets in Lucity. Integrating these systems allows users to access documents via the web, instead of individually adding each document to the Asset modules.
