Can Sage Intacct Employee Users Approve Transactions?

/

Organizations implementing Sage Intacct often ask a practical question when setting up workflows and internal controls: Can employee users approve transactions in the system?
The answer is yes—but with an important condition. Employee users can approve transactions in Sage Intacct only when the employee also exists as an active system user with the proper role permissions and is included in an approval workflow.
Understanding this distinction is essential for designing effective approval processes and maintaining strong financial controls.

Construction in Progress in Accounting

/

Construction in Progress (CIP) accounting represents one of the most complex areas in fixed asset management. The stakes are significant: miscategorized costs trigger audit adjustments, delayed capitalization decisions impact depreciation schedules and tax positions, and poor documentation creates compliance vulnerabilities that surface years later. Construction in Progress is used when a company is building something that takes time to complete—like a new facility, major equipment, or large infrastructure. Instead of recording these costs as expenses or completed assets right away, CIP keeps them in a temporary holding account until the project is ready for use.
This treatment matters because it ensures financial statements accurately reflect what a company owns and how much it invests in long-term assets.

Your Budget Isn’t What You Think It Is…Unless You’re Tracking Commitments

/

You approved the budget. The numbers looked right. And then, somewhere between the purchase order and the invoice, you ran out of money. If that scenario sounds familiar, the problem probably isn’t your budget. It’s what your budget doesn’t know about yet. Most financial reports show you two things: what you budgeted and what you’ve spent. That seems like enough until you factor in everything that’s been ordered but not yet invoiced. Purchase orders that have been issued. Contracts that are active. Goods that are in transit.
None of those show up as expenses until an invoice is posted. But the money is already spoken for.
That gap between what you’ve spent and what you’re committed to spending is where budget surprises live. And for organizations managing tight margins, grant restrictions, or project-level budgets, that gap can be the difference between finishing a period in control and finishing it over budget.

The 15-Minute Sage Intacct Check-Up Every Admin Should Be Doing

/

Most Sage Intacct systems are set up once and then left alone. That works fine until it doesn’t. User permissions drift, outdated configurations quietly create problems, and small oversights compound over time into something that takes hours to untangle.
The good news is that a quick, routine check-up can catch most of these issues before they become real problems. This isn’t a deep audit or a full system review. It’s a focused 15-minute habit that any admin can build into their regular routine.

Understanding the Sage Intacct Configuration Change Log

/

If you’ve ever had a system setting change unexpectedly — maybe a user permission, a report layout, or a configuration tweak—you know how frustrating it can be to track down who made the update and why. Luckily, Sage Intacct has built in tools that make that detective work much easier. One of the most powerful of these is what many users refer to as the Configuration Change Log, which is essentially part of Intacct’s robust Audit Trail features.
In this blog we’ll walk through what this functionality is, why it matters, and how it helps finance teams stay in control of their system.

Is Your ERP Holding You Back?

/

Your ERP system is the backbone of your business. It touches payroll, inventory, finance, procurement, and more. But like any technology, ERP platforms age — and what once powered your growth can quietly become the thing that stalls it.
The decision to replace an ERP isn’t one to take lightly. Implementations are costly, disruptive, and time-consuming. But staying with the wrong system carries its own steep price: inefficiency, lost opportunity, and competitive disadvantage.
So how do you know when it’s time? Here are the clearest signals.
