More Information
Triumph EPC Operation
- Open up your internet browser and go to Triumph Online.
- Once you have logged in, click the <EPC> link at the top of the page.
- Select the bike model for which you wish to find parts.
- Locate the parts that you need, right-click with the mouse and in the "Req" field, indicate the quantity of parts you require.
- Click <Add to Basket>.
- Continue this process until you have all the items you need in the basket.
- Now click <Current Basket>.
- Before going any further, you need to give the basket a reference of your choice (this is not used within Platinum).
- Now click <Export Basket>.
- Save the file to 'C:\EPC' and give it a filename of 'ORDER.TXT'.
- You can now close the basket as we are done with Triumph Online.
Platinum Operation
Having selected your parts and saved them into the 'ORDER.TXT' file, you can now import these parts into Platinum.
The import of the items can be done from any point in Platinum where you are adding Stock Codes, and the same method is used in all places.
This example uses Workshop to explain how it is done.
- Go to " Workshop "Workshop Diary"".
- Search for a relevant workshop job.
- Select the [Invoice Items] tab.
- Click [Add].
 | At this point, the system is waiting for you to enter a "Stock Code", so it is from this point onwards that the import is the same wherever you are in Platinum. |
- Press <Alt+F6> - Add Pre-Built List. The items and quantities saved in the 'ORDER.TXT' will be loaded.
- If you have not stocked any of the items previously, you will see the Shadow File pop-up. Copy the items as usual.
- Check that the items loaded are correct.
Once you have successfully imported the 'ORDER.TXT' file, it will be deleted to avoid you importing the items twice!
