Summary
This article explains how to use the BMW EPC with Platinum.
More Information
- From within the ETK Software, locate the relevant parts diagram for the bike you want.
- Click the "i" icon to the left of part numbers to bring up a window that contains live price and quantity information from Platinum.
- Clicking [Data alignment] on a parts list will fetch price and quantity information from Platinum for all the parts in the list.
- Note however that this first prompts you for a customer or order number to send to Platinum. Platinum does not use this information, but unfortunately the BMW EPC will not let you continue unless you type something.
- Go to "Parts List" -> "Send parts list to DMS as garage order". This will export the parts list to a file that can be imported into Platinum in "Stock Invoicing", "Order Processing", etc. using the usual "Add pre-built list" function. Once again, you are asked for a "Job number" and "Editor", which Platinum does not use, but won't let you continue unless you type something.
- Using the [Send to DMS] options on an 'Urgent Order' or 'Stock Order' will also export the parts list in the same way as above.
