Pastel Customer Export – Accounts to Export

The Accounts to Export field allows for filtering of the accounts that are exported by the Pastel Customer export page. NB: there are two possible settings available:

• Current Year – only accounts related to students who are active students in the current academic year are included in the export data.
• All Active – all active accounts from the finance module accounts list are included in the export data.

Easypay Numbers (optionally used for Pastel Invoice Exports)

Easypay is a system that allows for account payers to make payments at supermarkets and other retailers. In order to enable this type of payment to be received an Easypay reference number must be generated for each payer. Easypay numbers can optionally be added to Pastel Invoice information on the Pastel Invoice Export page, if desired.

In order for Staffroom to generate a suitable Easypay number an Easypay receiver ID and Easypay First Digit value must be entered into the settings fields on the Pastel Settings page. If entered, these will be used when generating a suitable Easypay number for each customer invoice exported from the Pastel Invoice Export page.
