Percipient Sage Intacct Lead Consultant, Grace Freeman, shares her highlights of what you can expect from Sage Intacct’s final software update for 2023 (R4 2023).
What’s new in the latest release?
Sage Intacct Accounts Payable
Fix mistakes on submitted AP purchase invoices
If you’ve ever hit submit on an AP purchase invoice only to realise that you made a mistake, you’ll appreciate the new recall option for AP purchase invoice approvals.
Recall enables you to remove a submitted AP purchase invoice from the approval queue for editing. You can then update and resubmit for approval.
Sage Intacct Accounts Payable
New pay bills column
Review a supplier’s preferred payment method when selecting AP purchase invoices to pay.
When you select a payment method, such as a cheque or record transfer/EFT, you can see which suppliers prefer payment using that method. You can then make your AP purchase invoice selections accordingly.
The preferred payment method isn’t set in the supplier information record. If you did not specify a preferred payment method for a supplier, this field is empty.
Sage Intacct Accounts Receivable
Single payments for multiple customers
This idea came from you!
Last release, Sage Intacct launched the Early Adopter Program to support single payments for multiple customers. This option is useful when you receive a single payment but need to apply the payment to AR sales invoices from different customers. Now this functionality is available to everyone.

Sage Intacct Cash Management
Easily identify matched reconciliation transactions with match sequences
Each time a transaction is matched, a unique sequence is assigned in the form of lowercase letters to each transaction. When you reconcile, the letters become capitalised.
During reconciliation, a match sequence value is assigned for:
- Automatically matched transactions from an import file or bank feed
- Manually matched transactions without a corresponding bank transaction – all manually matched transactions receive the same match sequence
- Partially matched transactions
- Draft matched transactions
If you unmatch transactions, the sequence value is removed. This sequence value will not be reused, so if you rematch the transactions a new value is assigned.
Sage Intacct General Ledger
Control how far into the future you allow posting
You can now limit the number of unlocked fiscal years you have. This is especially important in regions where you’re required to set a limit.
Your unlocked fiscal years follow your locked period, so setting this limit controls how far into the future you can post. Limiting your unlocked fiscal years can help protect the integrity of your data, for example, by preventing accidental posting to dates far in the future.
Sage Intacct Reporting & Insights
Drill down from stored financial reports
Analyse your data at any level of detail from stored financial reports. You can drill down to transaction-level details in the same way you can for reports that are not stored.
Sage Intacct User Experience
