Sage Intacct (General Ledger)

Overview

The BambooHR + Sage Intacct integration simplifies payroll accounting by sending journal entries and syncing payroll data seamlessly with Sage Intacct. Reduce manual data entry, minimize errors, and ensure accurate financial reporting. With customizable memo line mapping, asynchronous data transfer, and secure authentication, this integration helps streamline payroll reconciliation and expense tracking, saving time and improving accuracy.

You can now send your payroll Journal Entry (JE) reports directly from BambooHR to Sage Intacct with a click of a button, saving time and reducing errors associated with manual data entry.

Easy Setup and Installation

Account owners in BambooHR can easily install the "Sage Intacct (General Ledger)" app from the BambooHR Apps page in Settings and connect their payroll data to Sage Intacct through a simple authentication process.

Enhanced Data Mapping

You can map your payroll categories, such as wages and deductions, to your Sage Intacct Chart of Accounts through bulk editing, ensuring accurate financial reporting. Smart filtering and search functionality have also been updated to help you quickly find and map the correct accounts.

Integration

How It Works

Note: Before proceeding with the authentication flow and setup process within BHR (settings>apps), users need a Web Services Developer License to retrieve their Sender ID and Password. If you have not yet received their Sender ID and Password or do not have a Web Services Developer License, you will need to contact their Sage Intacct Account Manager. More information here.

Before purchasing the Sage Intacct integration, confirm that:

You use Journal Entry Reports, not custom GL reporting.
You need no more than 2 dimensions per memo line.
The integration does not support:
- Custom GL formatting
- Multi-segment splitting beyond what's available in JE Reports
- Any mapping logic outside what JE supports
If you need advanced segmentation or formatting (learn more here), you will need a Paid Custom GL report.
