Summary
Many screens in Platinum are in the format of a List Box e.g. " Add or Edit Stock Items", " Add/Edit/Process Purchase Orders", " Nominal Review" or " Unit Sales Documents".
Each of these screens has the option to output the display to a printer or to create an Excel or CSV file.
More Information
When the data is on screen press <Ctrl+P>.
- Select either [Print], [Excel] or [CSV].
- If you choose to create a file, Platinum will default to saving the file in your public folder e.g. 'P:\SX\SXIcons\Output'. You may override this and save to a different location if you wish.
 | Platinum will attempt to open an 'Excel' or '.CSV' file for you using the most suitable program i.e. 'Excel' or 'Notepad'. |
