This powerful module is aimed at businesses that need to invoice and then issue a receipt to their customer after the initial invoice has been processed.
In addition to this requirement, the module has been designed to issue a receipt at any time after the invoice has been processed.
EASY PROCESSING - In most cases it is quite laborious to process receipts for customers and then provide them with proof of payment. This module is designed to save time and effort as receipt transactions are automated and receipts are printed as and when required. For example with daily banking you simply open the Deposit Assistant and the Assistant not only manages your receipts for the day, but also prints a deposit slip for banking purposes. No more unnecessary errors on deposit slips.

ACTIVITIES - Create and define an unlimited number of activities as either chargeable or non-chargeable items. For example, miles travelled, hours spent on consulting, and so on. Once you have defined your activities you can attach default rates to the activities.
EMPLOYEES - An unlimited list of employees can be linked to specific activities with their own rate set for that activity.
TIME SHEETS - Convert time records into invoices with ease. Capture all the activities on a time sheet, per customer, per cost code. Once you have captured the time sheets you can create an invoice batch. This invoice batch is generated with the help of an assistant. Additional information such as stock items can be added to the invoice before printing.
Fixed assets are physical items such as desks, computers, cars, machinery, and so on, which you acquire to run your business. As you use assets, they depreciate or become obsolete. You can legally expense depreciation in your accounts for tax purposes.
Managing your fixed assets includes the following tasks:
One of the realities of fixed assets processing is that companies frequently change depreciation rules as legislation allows and as company policy changes. Some changes are retroactive to when you purchased the asset. Sage Pastel Evolution Fixed Assets calculates its values dynamically from the start of each asset’s life, which makes retroactive changes simple. Imagine the time required to accurately programme all this yourself into a spreadsheet!

However this information was often limited to accounting data only, that is the numbers. Traditionally termed "CRM' or "Contact Management", Sage Pastel Resolve integrates with Sage Pastel Accounting Partner.
Any issue that takes place in a business, and is important enough to be tracked, is recorded as an Incident in Sage Pastel Resolve. Resolve will track all Incidents to their conclusion or until they are closed off.
