Reminder Letter Configuration - Asset Management Document
The Platinum System allows the layout of Reminder Letters to be configured to print the details you require. This is done using a system of "tokens" which represent the assets you wish to print, and their positions on the Document.

Token File Names
The layout files are stored in the 'sxco1' folder, (or 'sxco2', 'sxco3', etc).
- 'SXMA018.EPL'

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.
