Purchase Invoice Configuration - Vehicle Sales Document
The Platinum System "Vehicle Sales" allows the layout of your Purchase Invoice 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.

Purchase Invoice
- 'SXVS030.EPL'
- Purchase Invoice (Pro-Forma)
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".
Tokens
General Tokens
These can appear in either Headers or Footers.

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 website 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.
|
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
