WHAT’S NEW IN PASTEL ACCOUNTING 2007

New Explorer

The Explorer will equip the user with a completely new working experience. They will be able to see their data, filter the data to display only the required information and process, edit or run account enquiries directly from the grid.

Processing options relating to the task you have selected is now available with a simple right click of the mouse. It is a user-friendly way of allowing the user to get around the system and access Customer, Supplier, Inventory and General Ledger accounts. In addition, the Explorer in Pastel Partner 2007 also offers some Pastel Control Centre functionality from within Partner and the company.

Users are able to switch between the Explorer and the ‘old’ Navigator without going into the user setup option. This means that a user can now customise their own setup with limited supervisor involvement.

1 & 2 cent rounding now part of Invoice Calculation

Previously, one & two cent rounding was done only in the Point of Sale (POS) add-on module. Rounding can now be included in the calculation of the total amount on customer documents.

‘Jump to’ another user’s Open Batches

In previous versions, when a supervisor needed to work in another user’s batches, the supervisor would have to jump to the relevant user and then go to the specific batch.

In Pastel Accounting 2007 we have streamlined this process by adding an option on the View Open Batches screen to Jump To a user’s specific batch. This means a supervisor can jump straight to a specific user’s Invoice Batch, update the batch and return directly to the Open Batches screen to jump to the next user. An additional benefit is that the user is also given the option of printing the Open Batches list.

This feature will increase the efficiency of the supervisor’s processing. It will be far easier for a supervisor to navigate through the Open Batches and update the batches than for users that do not have the authorisation to do so.

Reprint customer and supplier documents from Drill Down

Users now have the option of reprinting customer and supplier documents
from the Drill Down.

Our Drill Down functionality allows a user to:

• See all balances per period for specific Customers, Suppliers, General Ledger accounts etc.
• Drill Down on the balance to view all transactions which constitute the balance.
• Drill down to source document (should a transaction be an Invoice
  or Credit Note for example).

All the above functionality has been available in previous versions, however a Print button has been added to allow the user to reprint the document.

New Filters added in Exporting

When exporting master file information, filters have been added to allow a range of information to be exported instead of the entire data file.
