The Platinum System "Vehicle Sales" allows the layout of your Invoices (credits use the orignal format of the invoice), Quotations and Sales Orders 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 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 document layouts are divided into 3 main areas: "Headings", "Body" & "Footings".

The printing program goes to some lengths to work out where the "headers", "footers" and "part exchange" sections lie, but you may explicitly tell it the following tokens.

~901,1 Header Section start
~901,2 Header Section end
~902,1 Footer Section start
~902,2 Footer Section end
~903,1 Totals Section start
~903,2 Totals Section end
~904,1 Part Exchange Section start
~904,2 Part Exchange Section end
~905,1 Sale Vehicle Section start
~905,2 Sale Vehicle Section end

The main purpose of these are to set out what details will be printed for multiple sale vehicles, or multiple part exchanges, where these occur. In such cases, additional pages will be printed. These consist of the detected "Header Section", as many "Sale Vehicle" or "Part Exchange" sections as can be on between the headers and footers, and a "Footer" section.

The only purpose of the "Totals Section" at the time of writing is to avoid the program getting sidetracked by what is otherwise a "part exchange" token included in the document totals.

Currency Conversions

Platinum "Elite" systems only. "Solo" systems will need to be upgraded to "Elite", contact your Platinum dealer or our sales team on (0116) 230 1500 or by using our [[1]] sales contact page for your upgrade path.

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 document being printed will be used, if there is one.

Some examples using '~29,1' amount taxed at tax rate 1.
~29,1
no conversion
'*100.00' - (where * is your usual currency symbol).
~29$,1
convert to the account currency (if there is one)
'1005.18F' - (e.g. French Francs.)
~29$12,1
convert to account currency and print to a width of 12
'1005.18F'
~29$USD,1
convert to currency USD (US Dollar)
'$234.56'
~29#12USD,1
same, but suppress the symbol and print to a width of 12
'234.56'

Currency Tokens

There is a group of tokens that may be used in headers and footers to print details about the currency set up for the account associated with the document.

~293
(12 characters)
Exchange rate from base currency to account currency
~294
(15 characters)
Sub-units of the currency set for this account
~295
(15 characters)
Units of the currency set for this account
~296
(30 characters)
Name of the currency set for this account
~297
(3 characters)
Code of the currency set for this account
~298 Skip block until next ~298

Should be used in pairs on a line. Everything between them is blanked out if there is no currency set for this account
