All tokens that return a currency amount may now be modified to convert that amount into a different currency before printing.

The Platinum System allows the layout of Customer Statements to be configured to print the details you require. This is done using a system of "tokens" which represent the items you wish to print, and their positions on the Document.
Layout Data File Names
The layout files are stored in the 'SXCo1\Docs' folder, (or 'SXCo2', 'SXCo3', etc).
Customer Statement
- 'SETSTAT'
- Statement to show Settlement Discount
- 'FAXSTAT'
- Statement pre-set up for Faxing
- 'WINSTAT'
- Statement pre-set up for Windows Printing, on Plain Paper
- 'PLASTAT'
- Plain Paper Statement
- 'PRESTAT'
- Statement for Paper with all column divisions etc pre-printed.
- 'OWNSTAT'
- "Own Brand" Paper Statement
- 'LETSTAT'
- Statement for Paper with a Pre-Printed Letterhead
Token File Names
These are copied down into the main data directory when they are needed for the first time by Platinum, and from that point the layouts are as follows:
- 'SXLD041.EPL'
- Customer Statement (no settlement discount)
- 'SXLD042.EPL'
- Customer Statement (settlement discounts)
Layout Tokens
Tokens are indicated by the character '~' followed by a number (the token identifier).
These identifiers may be up to 3 digits in length in the range 1 to 999. Tokens each have specific uses, which are listed below.
Parameters
Some tokens may also be given parameters. The number of parameters vary for each token. To specify a token with parameters the token must be followed by a comma then parameter. Each parameter is similarly divided from the next by a comma (no terminating comma is required).
Document Areas
For the purposes of configuration, the statement layouts are divided into 3 main areas: "Headings", "Body" & "Footings".
Area Tokens

~199 | Configuration Section End | |
~200 | Heading Block (First Page) Start | |

All tokens that return a currency amount may now be modified to convert that amount into a different currency before printing. This is done by using a currency modifier after the token number but before any parameters. This modifier begins with a special symbol and may optionally be followed by a number and/or a three character currency code.
To get the relevant currency symbol to print on a document, the symbols '$' and '#' (hash symbol, but may have been misprinted as a pound sign) are used immediately after the token that you wish the currency conversion to take place. Using the '#' will suppress the printing of the currency symbol. This can be useful when printers don't have relevant symbols for some currencies.
Unless the relevant currency required is set up against the base rate in Currency Maintenance, no conversion will take place. Also, the customer needs to be correctly flagged for the appropriate Country. |
The number part of the modifier may be used to specify the maximum number of characters to print. Some currencies may involve quite large amounts and this number can be used to make sure there is enough room to print them. The three character currency code specifies which currency to convert the amount to. This may be omitted, in which case the currency specified for the account associated with the statement being printed will be used, if there is one.
Some examples using '~29,1' amount taxed at first tax rate. Note that '~29' may not represent an amount in all document formats. This is just an example.

Currency Configuration
There is an optional Currency Conversion configuration token which when used should be placed in the Configuration block. This token may have a currency modifier applied to it which will then be used by default throughout the document, although it can be overridden by modifiers applied to individual tokens.
