Summary
It is possible for a stock list (created externally to Platinum) to be imported directly into Stock Invoicing, Order Processing, Workshop with the <Alt+F6>, this mechanism is used to interface Platinum with many EPC products.
Once activated with the <Alt+F6> from a stock code, Platinum will import the stock list into the current module. This will save the user to have to re-key the list that has just been built on the EPC (or website).
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'.
