To use the direct integration with Sage Intacct, you'll need to link your Sage Intacct account to ExpenseIn.
Note: For security reasons, ExpenseIn will never link your ExpenseIn account and Sage Intacct account for you. This must be done by an authorised person from your company.
Prerequisites
Before connecting your Sage Intacct account to ExpenseIn, you must complete the following prerequisites:
1. Ensure that the user authenticating the integration in ExpenseIn has the required user permissions in Sage Intacct. Sage recommends using a Web Service User when establishing the connection between Sage Intacct and ExpenseIn.
To ensure the user has the correct permissions, you first need to assign the permissions to a role in Sage Intacct via Company > Admin > Roles and then select Add or Edit on the Role you want to enable the permissions for. Under Subscriptions, the required permissions are as follows:
Application/Module | Activities/List | Permission |
Company | Departments | View |
Company | Locations | View |
Company | Attachment Folders | View |
Company | Attachment Folders | Add |
Company | Attachments | View |
Company | Attachments | Delete |
Company | Class | View |
Company | Entities | View |
General Ledger | Accounts | View |
Accounts Payable | Vendors | View |
Accounts Payable | Bills | Add |
Accounts Payable | Tax Detail | View |
Projects | Projects | View |
General Ledger | Journal Entries | Add |
Cash Management | Credit Card Accounts | View |
Cash Management | Credit Card Transactions | Add |
Once the required permissions are enabled for the relevant role, you then need to assign the role to the (Web Service) User in Sage Intacct via Company > Admin > Users or Web Services Users and select Edit on the relevant user. Select the Roles Information tab, then click in a blank space under the Role Name column and add the Role you assigned the permissions to.
2. Enable Web Services in Sage Intacct to facilitate receiving information from ExpenseIn. This can be done in Sage Intacct via Company > Subscriptions, then in the Web Services section, switch the toggle on.
3. Add ExpenseIn as a Sender ID to allow ExpenseIn to send information to your Sage Intacct account. This can be done via Company > Company Information, then in the Security tab, locate Web Services Authorizations and add “ExpenseInMPP” as a Sender ID.
