Increased automation and expanded actions directly on bank feed transactions
- Bank feeds now download transactions every four hours in the background. You save time by eliminating the need to manually initiate and wait for transactions to download as part of your reconciliation process.
- Create journal entries, manual payments, or other receipts directly from the bank transactions list page. Keep up with managing bank feed transactions on a continuous basis without having to go to the reconciliation page.
- Enhanced matching rules – to automatically match bank feed transactions that are lump sums to multiple transactions within Intacct.
- GL Posting tab on transactions -The new GL posting tab is available on credit card and charge payoff transactions. It provides greater visibility and traceability into resulting AP and journal entry transactions.
Reduce GL approval bottlenecks with group approval and approval delegation
- Multiple and substitute approvals – Set up shared approval responsibilities by assigning user groups as approvers. Any member of the assigned user group can then approve the transaction to move the approval process forward.
- Approval delegation – Delegate approvals to an authorized team member when you’re out of the office or unavailable.
New Domestic Consolidations

You can choose to include source documentation in email invoices to reduce questions or discrepancies and to speed up the payments process.

- Item cross-reference – Get faster payments from customers and ease communication with customers and suppliers. Item cross-references can now associate your internal item numbers or SKU’s with those of your customers or suppliers if they are different.
Construction (Early Adopter): Tighten project management control

Enter production unit estimates with your project estimate, which reduces steps as well as enabling greater insight into production estimate changes. Production estimates are also visible on the task, summarized by workflow type.
- Price-based lump sum based on dollar amount – Sales orders and invoices now have more options to better fit your business needs. Enter and convert documents based on quantity or specific dollar amount in Order Entry, further enhancing flexibility.
Working checklists

And, you can break down the process into granular assignments. Email notifications keep people informed of their new assignments and checklist owners informed of assignment progress updates. Working checklists help drive process consistency and improve process outcomes.
