Using the BMW EPC with Platinum

Summary

This article explains how to use the BMW EPC with Platinum.

In 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 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 [Add pre-built list] button. Once again, you are asked for a "Job Number" and "Editor", which Platinum does not use, but you cannot continue until you type something.
Using the [Send to DMS] button on an Urgent Order or Stock Order will also export the parts list in the same way as above.
