Sage Intacct 2023 Release 3: Highlights, Features, and More

Sage Intacct 2023 Release 3

The ever-evolving world of accounting and finance software has seen yet another milestone with the recent unveiling of Sage Intacct 2023 R3. This latest version promises a suite of enhancements aimed at maximizing efficiency, streamlining operations, and catering to the nuanced needs of its global user base. Key highlights include AP vendor approval, bank transaction assistance, EMRConnect integration, and more. All designed to foster greater financial intelligence and business agility.

Notable features for this release

Accounts Payable vendor approval

You can now manage your vendor approval process directly within Sage Intacct, ensuring the correctness of vendor records before the information is used in Accounts Payable and Purchasing transactions.

Users with the proper permissions use the Vendor approval page to review new vendors and updates to existing vendor records. While a vendor record is pending approval, new Accounts Payable and Purchasing transactions for that vendor can be saved as drafts, but they cannot be posted. After the vendor is approved, the transactions can be posted.

Introducing match tolerances for Purchasing transactions

Sage Intacct match tolerances for Purchasing transactions

Take control of outgoing payments and make sure that your organization pays the proper amount for what you ordered. With match tolerances, Sage Intacct automatically compares the quantities and unit prices that appear on Purchasing transactions. For example, if your workflow is to convert purchase orders to vendor invoices, Intacct compares the quantities and unit prices between the 2 transactions. This comparison verifies that the quantity and unit price details agree on the purchase order, PO receipt, and vendor invoice.

Bank transaction assistant — Early Adopter

Streamline your receive payments workflow while accelerating your reconciliation process with the Bank transaction assistant workflow. Join the Bank transaction assistant Early Adopter program to get started.

Easily and quickly assign customers to bank transactions and then receive multiple payments for multiple customers, all from the Bank transaction page. After you receive payments, the posted payments in Sage Intacct and the bank transactions automatically match for reconciliation.

Industry Highlights

Recognize sales revenue on contract line invoice

Sage Intacct 2023 R3

Sage Intacct’s Contracts application includes both a powerful subscription billing engine and fully automated revenue management. os that work seamlessly together. But what if you do not always need to defer revenue and simply want to record revenue when you bill a contract line? In this release, Contracts includes a streamlined workflow that eliminates the requirement to defer revenue for a contract line. And if you have some contract lines that do need deferred revenue, no problem—you can mix and match revenue workflows in the same contract.

Construction vendor compliance

Ensure that your vendors provide the required compliance documents before you pay them. The Vendor Compliance subscription, which is included with your Construction subscription, helps you track compliance-related documents, such as proof of liability insurance or business licenses.

Set up compliance definitions to establish how documents are validated and what happens when a document is missing or expired. Validation is based on either receipt of a document or an expiration date. And much more!
