Sage Intacct 2023 Release 4 Highlights

  • 7 min read

Advanced Ownership Consolidations

Sage Intacct is proud to announce Advanced Ownership Consolidations, which is now fully generally available with 2023 R4. This comprehensive feature supports complex business structures including partial, tier and full ownership through the consolidation process, with full audit history of ownership changes. 

Partial Ownership addresses a significant need within the market for a more flexible and comprehensive approach to financial consolidation across many industries, including financial services, healthcare, hospitality and general business. As organizations expand and diversify their portfolios, it becomes increasingly important to have a reliable method of consolidating financial data across multiple entities with varying ownership percentage changes automated and captured. In addition, Sage Intacct Advanced Ownership Consolidations supports global currency translation, complex non-controlling interest and legal structures, and it automates consolidation elimination roll up in a streamlined process.

Sage Intacct Advanced Ownership Consolidations: In process, Completed, Reconsolidate, & Fail.

Bank Transaction Assistant

Bank transaction assistant is your new best friend, it will assign customers to bank transactions, create the payment, and apply that payment to an open invoice or create an advance. The main value? Freeing up time to spend on more important tasks by removing steps in the AR process through automatically applying payments that come from bank transactions. Once a customer assignment is created, Bank Transaction Assistant will remember and assign that customer to future bank transactions after matches are processed. A new generation in bulk processing allows the user to select a payment application method and optionally create advances when an open invoice is not available. While in the Receive Payment process the user can complete multiple groups of transactions using different parameters until all the desired transactions are completed. And there is a preview of the payment application available before the process is finalized.

Reconciliation Match Sequence

In addition, users can now leverage the reconciliation matching sequence to see the relationship between bank and Sage Intacct transactions.  Confidently review the results of bank and credit card reconciliation matches, knowing that only Sage Intacct can assign the sequence values. Should a reconciliation need to be reopened, no problem.  The matching sequences are reverted to a draft/in-process status. Assign a unique sequence to one or multiple accounts. You can also identify when a sequence is part of an in-process or final reconciliation. Matching and unmatching transactions controls the assignment of a sequence value, and flexible sequence assignment allows a bank or credit card account to be updated with a new sequence as required.

Receive single AR Payment for multiple customers

Sage Intacct is also launching single payments for multiple customers in R4. This is useful when you receive a single payment, but need to apply the payment to invoices from different customers. For example, a school district can submit payment for invoices that belong to different schools within that district. Or an insurance company can submit a single payment for multiple patients at a facility. This offers users flexibility in receiving a payment for a single customer’s invoices, parent and child customer invoices, or multiple customers’ invoices. It also simplifies bank reconciliation for multi customer payment with a Bank statement.
