In the past, accounting systems stored a wealth of information relating to your customers, suppliers and inventory. This information was often limited to accounting data, i.e. the numbers. Sage Pastel Evolution takes accounting to the next level by allowing you to not only capture numbers, but also to perform what we refer to as business activities. This gives you the ability to control your financial situation as well as your relationships with your customers, suppliers and employees.

In addition to the comprehensive range of features in Sage Pastel Evolution, are a number of add-on modules that make Sage Pastel Evolution the perfect management tool for your growing business.

There are three new exciting add-on modules in Sage Pastel Evolution.

The System Manager

The System Manager is the control centre for the entire Evolution application. It is the system’s user interface. Featuring a System Tree for navigation, it also controls the system environment and setup, on-line help, and multi-level password security. Evolution delivers enhanced efficiency, productivity and security to any business:

• A consistent user interface no matter which module you are using. Fixed Assets, Payroll, and Accounting all share the same common interface and all appear as options on a single System Tree
• Standard navigation tools such as menus, the system tree, toolbars, and favourites.
• Powerful tools for maintaining, sorting, searching, and grouping your lists of data.
• The ability to customise the interface to suit each user’s requirements.

Database System

Sage Pastel Evolution takes advantage of the lastest database technologies, utilising MS-SQL Server or Microsoft’s Sequel Desktop Engine (MSDE). MS-SQL provides Evolution with the ability to scale and to support an unlimited number of concurrent users. Additional data integrity is ensured through the use of SQL’s transaction rollback feature. Sage Pastel Evoution includes MSDE for 1-10 user sites. Larger sites must purchase MS-SQL Server as per usage requirements.

Store Data Indefinitely

The General Ledger stores five years of data and requires no month or year-end procedures. You can, however, block accounting periods. This prevents transaction processing into closed periods.

Transaction Rollback

Data protection and integrity is significantly improved. This feature optimises data integrity by ensuring that users will never have incomplete entries or corrupt files, even if they suffer a power failure while a transaction is in process.

Supports Multiple Companies

The system can maintain multiple sets of books, each with its own chart of accounts. Access to companies and their related functions are password protected. Data can also be copied from one company to another, simplifying the company setup procedure.

Transaction Drill Downs

Drill down functionality allows you to find exactly what you're looking for, quickly. From summarised information, to detailed transactions, right down to source documents - just by clicking your mouse.

Advanced Security

Confidential accounting data, as well as controlling access to information is vital to any business. Sage Pastel Evolution enables you to configure multi-level, menu-driven passwords and securities per individual user.

You can also establish 'user groups', allowing the quick addition of new users into the system, with security access rules defined at the user group level. Once you assign a user to the group, the user takes on the access rules of that group.

Integrated with Microsoft Graphs Evolution Report Writer General Ledger ® Office

A seamless integration with MS Office means that you can email any report, in any format (HTML, XML etc.). Data can also be exported to Word or Excel where you can perform your own complex data manipulations. This feature greatly complements Sage Pastel's extensive range of management reports, available at the touch of a button.

Graphs

You can have the ability to view graphs. For example, you can compare General Ledger account movements over a period of five financial years. You can compare sales and purchases in the orders modules and you can view incident analysis in the Contact Management module.

Evolution Report Writer

The Report Writer allows you to customise standard reports per user as well as stationery layouts per user, It integrates into every module in the Evolution range. You can change layouts, add and remove fields, and perform additional calculations or subtotals. You can even write your own SQL script for advanced reporting. The system includes a tutorial program that will guide you through the process of report writing.

General Ledger

The general ledger is the heart of the financial function of your company. All processing you do eventually reflects in the General Ledger. No tedious month or year-ends, the system is date-driven, allowing you to post transactions to any period at any time providing peace of mind and flexibility.

The General Ledger stores five years of data. Accounting periods can, however, be 'blocked', preventing transaction processing to those periods, which have been 'closed'.

Segmented General Ledger

Account segments can be used to create a reporting hierarchy. Reporting is considerably simplified while retaining the level of detail you require. With unlimited branches and departments, your business can grow with the security of knowing Sage Pastel Evolution is scalable, flexible and robust.

Cheque Printing and EFTs

You can print cheques from any bank account. The cheque layout is fully customisble to accomodate requirements from different banks. You use user access levels to control who can print cheques. Each bank account has its own series of cheque numbers. You can make payments to all the major banks via Electronic Funds Transfer.
