Summary

Many screens in Platinum are in the format of a List Box e.g. " Add or Edit Stock Items", " Add/Edit/Process Purchase Orders", " Nominal Review" or " Unit Sales Documents".

Each of these screens has the option to output the display to a printer or to create an Excel or CSV file.

More Information

When the data is on screen press <Ctrl+P>.

  • Select either [Print], [Excel] or [CSV].
  • If you choose to create a file, Platinum will default to saving the file in 'P:\SX\SXICONS\OUTPUT'. You may override this and save to a different location if you wish.
Platinum will attempt to open an 'Excel' or '.CSV' file for you using the most suitable program i.e. 'Excel' or 'Notepad'.
If your PC does not choose the most sensible option you may need to manually open the file. To do this start your spreadsheet software and open the file from the default location or location you selected.
