Following recent Scottish Parliamentary approval, updated PAYE thresholds are effective from 11/05/2020. Platinum's "Payroll" has been updated with the new thresholds.

It is now possible to cancel customer bookings that have been invoiced. In these cases, a credit document will be produced.

The Platinum Online "Stock Check" option now allows you to update the stock levels of items on the shadow file. This is done by either entering the exact stock code into the search or by scanning the barcode.

• See our Knowledge Base to connect to your Platinum Online.

A summary of reorder level changes is now available from the changes review list.

A confirmation has been added before updating stocking levels.

The list of unallocated jobs now has a configurable column. Information in this column is derived from an internal report and can thus be configured if required.

• By default the report used returns the post code of the keeper. You can if required return other information by creating your own internal report in the "Reports & Settings" report generator.

A new transaction property has been added to "Ledger Postings" for the Purchase, and Sales, ledgers, allowing you to associate a free type reference to transactions of up to thirty characters.

The main purpose of this field is to accomodate document numbers from suppliers who might use a number larger than the standard eight characters of document numbers in Platinum, but it may be used for any relevant information you want to record.

The document reference may be printed on statements and remittances, output by the "Report Generator" and imported by the "Data Import", as well as being searchable in "Document Search".

It is now possible to block features, categories, statuses and other short codes used within Platinum. This is important as deleting standard features results in them being replaced when the software is updated. Blocking by contrast hides these features preventing them from view and use providing a less cluttered user experience.

It is now possible to view the list of media attached to the customer or supplier in the "Ledger Postings" option. You may choose one or more of the media items from the list to assign and move to the transaction created when the posting is accepted.

The warranty expiry date for the unit on the job will now be shown alongside other unit details.

In the course of your "Unit Sales" business you may need to keep track of "fitted options", parts fitted to a unit which may come pre-fitted from the manufacturer, or which may be fitted, or removed in your workshop.

Platinum now has the facility to deal with "fitted options". These may be parts, or, if required, other units. These may be designated as part of a unit sales order, and viewed and maintained via "Unit Sales" "Unit Properties", and "Unit Workshop" "Job Properties".
