Quotation/Sales Order Configuration - Sales Prospecting Document
The Platinum System allows the layout of "Sales Prospecting" Quotation and Sales Ordsers 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.
Contents
Token File Names
The layout files are stored in the 'sxco1\docs' folder, (or 'sxco2', 'sxco3', etc).
Four different letters may be produced depending on the age of the debt.
- 'SXSP013.EPL'
- Quotation layout.
- 'SXSP020.EPL'
- Sales Order layout.

Area Tokens
The following will enable you to configure multiple page documents so that, for example, Totals appear only on the final page, or the word "Continued ..." only appears at the foot of a page if the document is continued after that page.
 | In order that these tokens take up no room on the Document you should lay out your text and then insert the tokens around the text you wish to include or omit. |
| ~200 | Text after this token up to ~299 to print on page 1 only | |
| ~299 | Text from ~200 up to this token to print on page 1 only | |
| ~300 | Text after this token up to ~399 to print on any page which has at least one page after it. e.g. "Continued ..." | |
| ~399 | Text from ~300 up to this token to print on any page which has at least one page after it. | |
| ~400 | Text after this token up to ~499 to print on any page which has at least one page before it. eg. "... Continuation" | |
| ~499 | Text from ~400 up to this token to print on any page which has at least one page before it. | |

Currency Conversions
 | Platinum "Elite" systems only. "Solo" systems will need to be upgraded to "Elite", contact the Catalyst sales team (0116) 230 1500 or your Platinum dealer 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.
The special symbols are currently '$' and '#' (hash symbol, but may have been misprinted as a pound sign). Both of these will cause a conversion to take place; the difference being '#' will suppress the printing of a currency symbol. This can be useful when printers don't have relevant symbols for some currencies.
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 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 | x = Default currency modifier (optional) |
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
| |
| ~294 | (15 characters) Sub-units of the currency set for this account
| |
| ~295 | (15 characters) Units of the currency set for this account

| ~297 | (3 characters) Code of the currency set for this account
