FEATURES
Softline Pastel's continuous
investment in Research & Development provides customers
with key business benefits to enable them to get the most
out of their software.
|
|
| Goods Received Voucher
/ Supplier Invoices split
|
| With this new feature, you
have the ability to receive and immediately update your
stock based on a delivery note from your supplier, without
having to update the supplier account until you have received
the actual supplier invoice. This scenario will take place,
for example, where stock might be delivered with a delivery
note, and the supplier invoice will only be issued on
a future date.
|
|
| Segmented General Ledger
|
Historically Evolution's
General Ledger account structure resulted in quite a cumbersome
chart of accounts.
With the Segmented General Ledger feature, users will
now be provided with multi-dimensional views of financial
information not supported by previous versions of Pastel
Evolution. In a Segmented General Ledger, each segment
becomes a reporting dimension in its own right. If an
account number is segmented into different sub levels
such as accounts, branch, department, and project, it
is possible to extend financial reporting to include combinations
of these different sub levels.
|
|
| Multiple TABS on user
defined fields
|
Managing user-defined fields
is now much easier. Evolution now allows you to group
user-defined fields into logical sets - making it easier
to enter information quickly.
Two additional fields have been included Page Name and
Page Index, to help manage the identification of the multiple
tabs you created.
|
|
| User defined fields per
document type
|
| This feature allows you to
manage user-defined fields per Inventory document. For
example, in a Goods Received Voucher and Invoice, user
defined fields can now be created specific to a document
type.
|
|
| Multiple debtor and creditor
control accounts
|
| More then one General Ledger
control account can now be created for either Receivables
or Payables. In other words, the Groups feature in Receivables
or Payables allows you to allocate a customer or supplier
control account respectively, which will be automatically
updated at the time of processing your transactions. For
example, customers could be grouped against local or foreign
debtors, and each group could have its own control account
which will be updated automatically.
|
|
| Improved calendar
|
| The calendar feature in the
Resolve module allows for the linking of incidents to
a particular appointment in your calendar making it easier
to prepare for meetings. Schedules for other users can
also be viewed when scheduling an event to avoid conflict
in appointments.
|
|
| Graphs
|
| You now have the ability
to view General Ledger accounts in a graphic format to
compare, for example, the account movements over a period
of three financial years. Additionally, graphs have been
added to allow you to compare Sales vs Purchases in the
Orders module.
|
|
| Automatic payments for
Payables
|
| The new Automatic Payments
functionality for supplier payments will automatically
populate a Cashbook Batch with the relevant payments due.
This feature also integrates with the cheque printing
feature.
|
|
| Cheque printing
|
| Cheques can now be printed
from within a Cashbook Batch and the cheque layout is
fully customisable to accommodate requirements from different
banks. User access level security has also been added
for the printing of cheques. Cheque numbering can be set
up for different bank accounts.
|
|
| Alternate units of measure
|
| With the release of this
feature the automatic break down of Bill of Material items
in a Goods Received Voucher is now possible. This feature
is particularly useful when dealing in different units
of measure. For example, you are now able to break down
items in case lots to smaller units. This feature works
in conjunction with the Bill of Materials module.
|
|
| Electronic Funds Transfers
|
Additional Electronic Funds
Transfer file layouts have added to cater for a wider
range of banking institutions. The current bank layouts
supported are BOE, Citibank, FNB, Nedcor and Standard
Bank.
A default maintenance option has also been added to the
Payables and Payroll maintenance screens, allowing you
to select a banking institution as a default option.
|
|
| Improved bank reconciliation
|
| Bank reconciliation functionality
has been improved by allowing the user to input the closing
bank balance as per the bank statement. The bank reconciliation
will now display any difference between the reconciled
bank balance and the actual account balance.
