Accounts Payable

There has been a of use new features added to AP in this release to provide greater usability including:

Help to verifying supplier bank account details by unmasking supplier bank details – When using bank file payments to pay suppliers, users with permissions allocated can unmask bank details.

Find important fields faster with redesigned AP purchase invoice detail page.

Sage have reorganised the AP purchase invoice detail page to save you time, moving frequently referenced information into more prominent locations, while consolidating related information.

Now, you can quickly evaluate the status of an AP purchase invoice and line items are easy to see, without scrolling.

Quickly view draft AP purchase invoices and attachments – This view filters the AP purchase invoices list for transactions in draft state.

New date column on the Pay AP purchase invoices page – To help you better evaluate which AP purchase invoices to pay at a given time, the Pay AP purchase invoices page now displays the AP purchase invoice date, in addition to the existing Due date and Payment date columns.

Accounts Receivable

Key new features arriving in AR are:

Save time and effort entering customer payments and import payments in bulk! Import up to 5,000 lines through the CSV import template. There will need to be a sales invoices already created in the system before the payment is uploaded, however it will be able to handle any overpayment for you. We always recommend uploading a single payment first to test your import data and make any corrections before progressing.

Default the sender for emailing AR sales invoices and statements. Reduce the need to manually change the email address each time users email documents. Particularly useful if you have different contacts for different departments so you can be specific about who is sending your invoice and statement emails or if you want all AR invoices and statements to default from a single sender.

General Ledger

Reclassify posted journal entries even when using GL Approvals. Companies using GL Approvals can now reclassify journal transactions that have been approved and posted, as long as the period is open. Reclassify the account or dimension value, memo, description, reference number, attachment or line amount (as long as the total remains the same).

Reporting

Annotate your financial reporting with a new ‘Notations’ column type. Add a column anywhere in a financial report to display notes for one or more accounts. A useful feature for report creators to add text to help clarifies or enhances the numbers. You can have multiple notation columns and add a notation for a single account or any number of accounts in the report. When the report runs, you can see the notation text at the column location you selected as demonstrated below.

The Saga continues – even more coming soon!

You or your suppliersforward AP purchase invoices to an email address provided

For each uploaded or emailed AP purchase invoice, Intacct creates a draft AP purchase invoice, populated with data captured from the AP purchase invoice. Using artificial intelligence, Intacct matches the AP purchase invoice to the correct supplier record and suggests GL accounts and dimensions, based on your AP purchase invoice history. Each automatically created draft includes the original AP purchase invoice as an attachment, for easy reference.

After Purchase Invoice Automation has processed the AP purchase invoice, all that’s left for you to do is to review and post!

Cash Management

Enhancements to matching rules are nearly here!

You can save time and manual processing by adding a new type of rule that creates journal entry transactions in Sage Intacct to match incoming bank transactions.
