GL Account and Dimension Coding
Following a successful Early Adopter program for GL account and dimension coding, Sage Intacct 2024 R2 now enables this option for all AP Automation customers.
GL account and dimension coding uses Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) to predict GL account, Location, and Department field values on a line-by-line basis. AI/ML determines values for these three fields based on your data correction patterns for individual line items. Over time, as machine learning recognizes changes that you repeat, Sage Intacct can create draft bills that include the dimension values you intend. You spend less time correcting coding details and can post bills more quickly.

Expanded Project Reporting
Based on ideas submitted by customers currently using Sage Intacct to manage projects, you can now generate individual reports for each project in a group. That means when you schedule a report and filter by project group, you can select the ‘Individual Report’ checkbox to divide the report into separate sections for each project in the group. A similar option is available in the Financial Report Writer screen.
This provides better flexibility and even more detail for deeper insight into individual project performance and profitability.

Fixed Fee Revenue Distribution – you can now distribute fixed fee revenue to employees based on their billable hours worked on fixed fee projects.
Bulk Import for Percent Complete Projects - upload a .csv file to update observed percent complete values in bulk.
Track operating costs - operating costs, covering non-labor expenses like billable materials, are now factored into both actual and estimated gross profit calculations across various dashboards.

Blanket Purchase Order Price Conversion
Using the purchase order workflow, you can now convert purchases of billable services by price to draw down an approved blanket purchase order amount. This allows you to see previously converted amounts and keep track of the remaining contracted amount on the purchase order. You can define the default conversion at the item level (price or quantity) as well as override the dollar amount converted.
In previous releases which only allowed conversion by quantity, you had to manually adjust the quantity to arrive at a dollar amount.
Note: the early adopter program continues for Automated Transaction Matching for Purchasing Workflows as new features continue to be added and tested.
