ControlBoard and Sage Intacct

ControlBoard® reads projects, employees and the customers those projects name from Sage Intacct, so the schedule runs on the jobs and people your accounting team already keeps. Sage Intacct stays the system of record. The connection starts read-only, reads only what changed since the last read, and shows you every match before anything is created. When you are ready, ControlBoard support turns on sending: approved hours go back as draft timesheets for your people to approve in Sage Intacct, and chosen project fields can follow.

What flows where

Your system keeps the money. ControlBoard runs the work.

Changes are read every six hours and whenever an administrator asks. Timesheets go when a pay week’s batch is sent; project fields as they change, or on request.

Sage Intacct

Projects, customers, employees, rates, approvals, payroll and the ledger. ControlBoard never approves a timesheet and no rate leaves ControlBoard.

Getting connected

  1. Give ControlBoard a Sage Intacct Web Services user that can read.

  2. Say which projects and employees count, with rules your administrator can read and change.

  3. Review the first match: projects link by their project number, people by employee number.

  4. When you are ready, ControlBoard support turns on sending, for the fields you agree.

Sage Intacct bills each request, so ControlBoard reads only what changed, in large pages, and keeps a count of every call it makes in the connection’s history. Your own project fields can come in beside the standard ones, and a job’s ship-to, contact or parent project can be read with it.

Each project field ControlBoard may send is approved by ControlBoard support for your connection; nothing else is written.

Common questions

Does ControlBoard work with a multi-entity Sage Intacct company?
Yes. The connection names the entity it works in, and timesheets are created at the entity the work belongs to.
Can we leave out completed or top-level projects?
Yes. Rules decide which projects and employees come in, by status, department, number or any field Sage Intacct holds. A preview shows what each rule would leave out before you save it.
Does ControlBoard approve timesheets in Sage Intacct?
No. Each timesheet arrives as a draft, and your own approval in Sage Intacct stays as it is.
