How Does the Integration Work?

The Precoro and Sage Intacct integration simplifies accounting tasks and keeps your financial data synced across both systems. Best of all, you don’t need to be tech-savvy to make it work.

Instead of manually updating invoice information between platforms, the Sage Intacct AP integration handles everything in three easy steps:

  1. Request items and approve invoices in Precoro.

  2. Once approved, the invoice details flow directly into Sage Intacct.

  3. After payment in Sage Intacct, the payment info syncs back to Precoro automatically.

You also get two-way syncing for suppliers and automated transfer of the following lists from Sage Intacct to Precoro:

  • Departments

  • GL accounts

  • Items

  • Locations

  • Projects

With the Sage Intacct accounts payable automation, you can have peace of mind from manual labor and real-time data in both systems for better control over spend.

Setting Up the Sage Intacct Integration

💡Please note: To integrate, you must have an active Sage Intacct Web Services developer license, which includes a Web Services sender ID and password. To obtain this license, please contact your Sage Intacct account manager.

A single sender ID can be authorized for multiple companies and tracked via an audit history report.

Once you get the license, please follow these simple steps to configure the integration:

Step 1: Obtain Required Credentials

Start by gathering the following Sage Intacct credentials:

  • Company ID

  • Sender ID

  • Sender Password

  • User ID

  • User Password

To get these credentials, create a Web Services user:

  1. Go to Company > Admin > Web Services Users and create a new user.

  2. Fill in the fields:

    1. User ID

    2. Last Name

    3. First Name

    4. Email: Email of the person managing the integration

    5. User Name

    6. User Type: Business

    7. Admin Privileges: Full  

  3. Then, go to Company > Admin > Roles, find the user you just created, and assign a new role with permissions for the data you want to sync.

  4. If not already set up, go to Company > Setup > Company, click "Security," and then "Edit." Under Web Services authorizations, click "Add" and enter the Sender ID exactly as provided by Precoro or Sage Intacct team.
