Introduction: Sage Pastel Partner Bundle Version 14 Training Course
The Sage Pastel Partner Bundle combines two things in one course. The first is the bookkeeping theory that sits behind the software: source documents, journals, the general ledger, the trial balance and the financial statements. The second is the hands-on use of Sage Pastel Partner itself: setting up a company, capturing supplier, customer and cash book transactions, and running month-end. It suits teams that capture transactions in Sage Pastel Partner and want to understand what the entries do to the books.
Outline: Sage Pastel Partner Bundle Version 14 Training Course
Key outcomes of the course include:
Bookkeeping principles
- Introduction to Bookkeeping
- Implications of Value Added Tax (VAT)
- Source Documents
- Stock and costing methods
- Subsidiary Journals (for example Cash Book, Petty Cash, Debtors and Creditors journals)
- GL (General Ledger)

Sage payroll courses: VIP Payroll and Pastel Payroll
Bookkeeping and payroll are usually handled in separate Sage products, so BOTI trains them separately. If your search was for VIP payroll courses or Sage payroll courses, these are the options:
- Sage VIP Payroll Training (2 days): for payroll administrators and HR staff who process pay in Sage VIP.
- Sage Pastel Payroll Administration Course (5 days): for staff who run payroll in Sage Pastel Payroll.
Payroll training is most useful when delegates practise on the software their organisation actually uses. Before you book, settle these points:
- Which payroll package and version your team works in.
- Whether you run weekly, fortnightly or monthly pay, or a mix.
- Who captures payroll information and who checks and approves it, so the right people attend.
- Which tasks cause the most errors or rework today, so the trainer can spend more time on them.
For general guidance on payroll skills, see the Sage Pastel Payroll Administration Course.
