The Platinum System " Order Processing" allows the layout of your outgoing Order Processing documents 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.

This article is for the following documents :-

  • "Purchase Orders"
  • "Delivery (or Advice) Notes"
  • "Order Confirmations"
  • "Picking Lists"

Layout Data Formats

Formats are stored in a special file, which must be accessed through the format amendments programs. It cannot be edited from outside the Platinum System.

A library of "Standard Formats" is available. These are automatically copied to the "User Format" the first time a document is printed, and may be copied manually if, for instance, you wish to start using pre-printed stationary where before you were using plain paper.

If required, you may assign special formats to certain Accounts, and/or assign these formats to different print records from the default. A format name may be up to 11 characters in length, and contain any combination of typeable characters.

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".

Area Tokens

~100 Configuration Section Start
~199 Configuration Section End
~200 Heading Block (First Page) Start
~299 Heading Block (First Page) End
~300 Heading Block (Continuation) Start
~399 Heading Block (Continuation) End
~400 Footing Block (Continuation) Start
~499 Footing Block (Continuation) End
~500 Footing Block (Last Page) Start
~599 Footing Block (Last Page) End
~600 Body Block Start
~699 Body Block End
~700 Totals Configuration Block Start
~799 Totals Configuration Block End

Document Blocks

The block information can either be supplied by you, in which case you should leave the parameters blank to begin with, and fill the values in when you are happy with the rest of the file; or the compiler can track the values down itself, which will marginally slow down the compilation process.

Body Block

General Information

'~6nn,1,2,3,"4",5,6,"7"' where '~6nn' represents an item, described below, which you wish to be printed in the document body.

All have up to seven parameters :-

Parm 1 - 'n'
Column Position across from the left of the page (Document Style 1).
Parm 2 - 'm'
Column Position across from the left of the page (Document Style 2). Delivery notes only.
Parm 3 - 'l'
Varies by Token. If not used, and parm 4 or above are needed, should be skipped by placing the commas next to each other. i.e. ~6nn,1,2,,"4",5.
Generally, for numeric tokens, which print by default to two decimal places.
  • '0' - Quantity : Trailing Zeroes are Stripped off. Currency : Zero figures are not printed.
  • '1' - Quantity : Trailing Zeroes are NOT Stripped. Currency : Zero figures are printed.
  • '2' - As '0', but allow 3 decimal places.
  • '3' - As '1', but allow 3 decimal places.
Parm 4 - 'x'
Optional. Varies by token. If used should be contained in quotes. If not used and parm 5 or above required, should be skipped in the same way as parm 3. i.e. ~6nn,1,2,3,,5
Parm 5 - 'k'
Column, when '~105' is used. See above. Up to 10 columns are allowed, limited by the "col" parameter after '~105'. If the body token is to refer to the line total, or main text item, then this parameter should be '0' (the default). If it is to refer to the value for a specific column then it should be given the value 1 - 10.
Parm 6 - 'j'
Varies by Token. If not used, and parms 7 or above are needed, should be skipped by placing the commas next to each other. i.e. ~6nn,1,2,3,"4",5,,"7".
Parm 7 - 'w'
Optional. Varies by token. If used should be contained in quotes.
Body Tokens may be used in the Headers or Footers, and will in this case take their value from the first order which appears on the Document.
  • Parameters 'n' & 'm' are not used at all, so if a Body Token were used in the Header its first Parameter would act as Parameter 'l' would if it were used in the Body.

Including Batch Information

Meaningful "Batch Information" may be retrieved only for Stock Lines marked as "Batched", which prompt for batch information whenever they are booked into or out of stock. The information extracted depends on the Order Item's status. If the item has been booked into stock, for example on a Goods Received Note, then you will see information relating to the batch transactions involved in booking the item in question in. This would enable you to go straight to the locations where the items are to be placed.

If the item has not yet impacted Stock History, on a Picking List for instance, you will get information on the batches you currently have in stock, enabling you to see which batches are suitable to be picked from.

Another thing to bear in mind is that for the second and subsequent lines of Batch Information for an item, only the Batch tokens ('~648' -> '~650') shown above will be printed.

Totals Block

General Information

'~7nn,1,2,"x",4,5' where '~7nn' = token number.

All have up to five parameters :-

Parm 1 - 'o'
Line from Top of Block to print on.
Parm 2 - 'n'
Column from Left of Block to print.
Parm 3 - 'x'
Up to 15 Character Description.
Parm 4 - 'm'
  • '0' - Description precedes Figures (default).
  • '1' - Description follows on from totals.
Parm 5 - 'l'
'0, 1 or 2' - Printing conditions.
In general, if items are configured to print one line after another, and "blanket discount" does not apply, then if Parm 5 for blanket discount amount is set to '0' then Blanket discount details will not be printed at all and the next line will shuffle up. If Parm 5 is set to '1' and no blanket discount applies then zeroes will be printed, and if it is set to 2 then a blank line will be printed.

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. Note that '~29' may not represent an amount in all document formats. This is just an example.
~29,1
no conversion
'*100.00' - (where * is your usual currency symbol).
~29$,1
convert to the account currency (if there is one)
'1005.18F' - (e.g. French Francs.)
~29$12,1
convert to account currency and print to a width of 12
'1005.18F'
~29$USD,1
convert to currency USD (US Dollar)
'$234.02'
~29$USD(02),1
convert to currency USD (US Dollar) and target to whole dollar units if within 2 cents. This feature is useful if you want to display values with the cents/pennies rounded away. For example if displaying in dollars then the number in brackets represents the maximum number of cents over or under a dollar within which the conversion will target to a whole dollar. For 02 within the brackets then $1.98, $1.99, $2.00, $2.01, $2.02 will all display as $2.00.
'$234.00'
~29#12USD,1
same, but suppress the symbol and print to a width of 12
'234.56'

Currency Configuration

There is an optional Currency Conversion configuration token which when used should be placed in the Configuration block. This token may have a currency modifier applied to it which will then be used by default throughout the document, although it can be overridden by modifiers applied to individual tokens.

~198x,n x = Default currency modifier (optional)
n = 0
Use exchange rate as at the order date for all currency conversions.
n = 1
Use exchange rate as at the user date for all currency conversions.

Country/Currency Tokens

There is a group of tokens that may be used in headers and footers to print details about the country and currency set up for the account associated with the document.

~292,n
(3 characters)
Country code/description for the document.

If the account in use has a specific country associated with it this will be used, otherwise the system default country will be output.

n = 0
Output the country code.
n = 1
