Admin Options

The Admin Options screen allows you to modify many of IPOL’s features to fit your company’s needs. You can use this screen to change how orders are numbered (or turn off automatic numbering altogether), how backorders on shipping or work orders are handled, or what the default method of asset depreciation is. The next few pages will list some of the options available on each page and what those options do. If you want to know about additional options or have other questions regarding the admin options page, contact CISS Ltd. with your questions.

After you have finished altering the admin options on any page, click on the “Save Settings” button to save your changes and then the “Back to Options Menu” button to return to the options menu.

This page allows you to set the number system for any record in Inventory Pro with record numbers, such as inventory items, assets, or purchase orders. Type the method by which you want to number your orders in the Format column. Enter the number of digits that you wish to use for sequential numbering in the form of pound symbols in the numbering method in the Format column. As well, you can enter the next number that you wish to use as a sequential number in the 'Next Value' field. For example, if your numbering system for purchase orders is PO-17-##### and the next value for purchase orders is 111, then the next purchase order generated will have a number of PO-17-00111.

You can also turn off automatic numbering for a given record type. To do so, enter -1 into the Next Value field for that record type. This will allow you to assign record numbers manually rather than having the system assign them for you.
