Summary
You can import a stock list (created externally to Platinum) directly into areas of the Stock Control, Order Processing or Workshop by pressing <Alt+F6>. This mechanism is used to interface Platinum with many parts catalogue (EPC) products.
Once activated with the <Alt+F6> from a "Stock Code" field, Platinum will import the stock list into the current module. This will save the user having to re-key the list that has just been built inside the EPC (or website).
 | A file that has been created with cost prices, e.g. a Fowlers import can only be imported into a purchase order as the price supplied is the cost price. If this file was imported into Stock Control or Workshop, you would end up with the cost price in the retail field. |
More Information
We provide our own specification of stock list import for any third parties wishing to interface with Platinum.
The file is a line sequential fixed field design with the file name 'c:\catalyst\platinum.inp'.
