Pastel Evolution Accounting Features

Posted by Accounting Diary

What are the core features of sage Pastel Evolution Accounting? In this article I will take you through the features of the core module of Sage Pastel Evolution Accounting to help you evaluate if its the Accounting Package you need for your Business.

All Accounting systems are designed for a purpose, to store a wealthy of Accounting information related to customers, suppliers, inventory and so on. However, from my experience as an Accountant with various Accounting Software, I have learned that Accounting is not just about capturing numbers but being able to integrate additional data for daily Business operations as well as provide an accurate holistic view of the Business giving you total control of your Business as well as your Finances.

This is not an easy task yet it’s achievable. However, it requires a powerful Business Management reporting tool often referred to as an Accounting Application which can give you the full ability to control your financial situation as well as Relationships with customers, suppliers and employees

In an article about choosing an Accounting Software, I discussed the simple requirements to look out for when making a choice to purchase an Accounts Package and made mention of some of Sage Pastel Accounting Products widely used in Zambia by most Zambian companies including other over 52 countries in the world.

In this article, I want to look at Sage Pastel Evolution Accounting and outline the five good features of this Package.


Pastel Evolution Application has a control centre called the system manager with a system tree making the navigation so easy, which also controls the system environment, set up, online help and multi-level password security.

In addition to the system tree, Pastel Evolution also has standard navigation tools such as menus, tool bars including tools for maintaining, sorting, searching and grouping data. The interface can also be customised to suit each user requirements making the Accounts Software even more user friendly.

The first feature I consider good about Pastel Evolution is that the system uses the latest database technologies using MS-SQL Server or Microsoft’s SQL Express Edition. Therefore the system is able to support unlimited number of users accessing it at the same time.

The second feature is that Pastel Evolution stores data indefinitely, the general ledger stores five years of data and requires no month or year end procedures. However, pastel evolution gives you access to block Accounting periods to prevent transaction processing into closed periods.

Data protection and integrity is indeed a great area of concern for every Accountant and Business owner. With the utilisation of MS-SQL, Pastel Evolution has an improved data protection and integrity ensuring that users have no incomplete entries or corrupt files, even if they suffer a power failure while a transaction is in process.

The fourth feature is that Pastel Evolution supports multiple companies each with its own chart of Accounts such as a holding company and some subsidiaries. Access to individual companies and their related functions are password protected.

Another important feature with Sage Pastel Evolution is the transaction drill-downs. Taking full control of your Business requires that you have the right, accurate and timely information on your finger tips and the drill down functionality allows you to find exactly what you are looking for quickly. From summarised information you can drill-down to detailed transactions and even right down to source documents-with just a click of the mouse. If you have any questions, feel free to leave you question below.

HI Charles,
