Sage Intacct is an enterprise-grade accounting platform, so don’t expect a ‘one-click’ setup like in some consumer-grade accounting platforms. Nevertheless, configuring it to use Synder is also quite straightforward. Just follow the steps outlined in the guide below, and you will connect your Sage Intacct company to Synder successfully.
Part A: Configuring your Sage Intacct company
Step 1: Enable Web Services
1. In your Sage Intacct, navigate to: Company → Admin → Subscriptions:
2. Scroll to the Web Services module and enable it. This module will let external applications, such as Synder, communicate with your Sage Intacct company.
Step 2: Authorize Synder to access your company as a Web Services user
1. Navigate to: Company → Setup → Company:
2. Go to the Security tab, click Edit and scroll to Web Services authorizations:
3. In the Web Services authorizations, add the following and hit Save:
- Sender ID:
cloudbusinesshqMPP - Description:
Synder - Status:
Active
4. While you are still there, go to the General information tab and note your Company ID. You will need to submit it to Synder during the connection:
Step 3: Create a Web Services user
1. Navigate to: Company → Admin, and click on the Plus icon next to Web Services users:
2. Enter information in the required fields.
3. Please provide a valid email address for the Web Services user: Sage Intacct will send you that Web Services user’s password to that mailbox!
4. User type: Business
5. Admin privileges: Off
6. Status: Active
7. Go to the Roles information tab and grant your Web Services users the GL Read/Write role. If it does not exist, you will first need to create one (read how to do that in this guide), and then return to this step:
8. (Optional) Lastly, go to the User entities tab and grant the Web Services user access to the top level:
9. Hit Save, and you’re done with preliminary configurations of your Sage Intacct! Time to connect it to Synder!
