Purchase Order Delivery Date Manager

Currently Pastel Evolution only allows a single delivery date per purchase order (PO). This is often inconvenient when PO’s are partially delivered and more so when multiple deliveries are made from a single PO.

General Ledger Budget Tool

The EvoTools General Ledger Budget Tool makes it quicker and easier to maintain and update your GL Budgets. Create custom and as many unique budgets as you wish.

This will allow for spreadsheet types and entering of budget data.

Shipment Module (Imports)

The EvoTools Shipment Module for imports allows you to process add-on costs, transport fees, shipping and GST across single or multiple purchase orders.

The EvoTools Shipment Module allows you to allocate multiple purchase orders to each shipment, add additional shipment costs, and then re-calculate each item's average unit cost.

Makes processing easier for anyone importing goods in sea containers.

Invoice Import

If you produce invoices by an external application to that of Evolution this tool is the answer for automating the importing of data directly into Evolution’s invoice, sales order or purchase order files.

By selecting the elements of any of these documents by a simple checking of the relevant fields this tool will save hours of manual data entry. Saving of profiles and validating source files is a feature of this product.

Automatic Purchase Order

Edit purchase orders before they are generated!

The EvoTools Automatic Purchase Order allows on-screen editing of orders to be processed before they are generated.

The Auto Purchase Order processor interrogates sales order lines and adds these to Auto Generated Purchase Orders. It also takes into account existing purchase orders and suits back to back ordering.

The Automatic Purchase Order can also:

• Compare against stock re-order or minimum levels
• Filter by stock item and/or supplier
• Allows you to view the generated PO's and change anything before you actually commit them to the system
• View and compare sales orders

Invoice Processor

Pastel Evolution does not allow an invoice to be printed without it being posted through to the accounting ledgers. There are ways around this, one of which is to copy the invoice layout through to the picking slip print stage, but this is restrictive in other ways. This program allows you to print as many copies of an invoice as you wish. Since the program emulates exactly the postings created in Pastel Evolution, it will be as if the invoice was posted within Evolution.

Many customers have had this program modified to perform other processes and calculations at invoice posting time
