How Artificial Intelligence in Sage Intacct is Revolutionizing Accounting 

/in , , , , /by

Sage Intacct just took a huge leap forward in artificial intelligence (AI) and AP or PO automation, making it easier than ever for businesses to streamline their financial processes. From GL Outlier Detection to AP Bill Automation and Sage Intelligent Time, AI-driven automation in Sage Intacct or even Automation Bank Reconciliations, Sage Intacct AI continues to advance its capabilities to automate mundane tasks and to bring higher-level analysis to those reviewing information in even the fastest environments. 

With the latest release, Sage Intacct now automates even more purchasing and procurement processes, further improving efficiency for finance teams. 

The Evolution of AP Automation in Sage Intacct 

This AP Automation with Purchasing improves upon the existing AP Bill Automation in profound ways. 

With the standard AP Bill Automation, users could have either emailed vendor invoices or uploaded PDFs analyzed by the system and brought in as a draft AP Bill to be reviewed. The robots in the cloud over at Sage Intacct would parse the PDF, figure out the vendor, and create an AP bill using all the dimensions and accounts it believed were appropriate. If ever something was slightly off, a user could make a correction before submitting the AP Bill for approval or posting the document. And those corrections? Sage Intacct would be smarter the next time. That’s right, the system would learn. 

This has been a huge feature for Sage Intacct subscribers. One of our many 5-star G2 Reviews came from one of our customers who gave a passionate testimonial. 


But even with these innovations, not every problem was solved. 

How AI-Powered PO Automation Enhances Efficiency 

Suppose you are a nonprofit that needs to create purchasing requisitions for future grants that have yet to be approved. Or a construction company (be it an MEP or specialty contractor) who need to have purchased documents for their commitments down to the job and cost code for future documents. In these cases, Artificial Intelligence couldn’t learn from what had come before because whatever would come next would be new. 

Ah, but that’s where PO Automation comes into play. 

Now, Sage Intacct can look at purchase requisitions or purchase orders to know how to code future payables. The vendor invoices can be: 

  • Uploaded as a PDF. 
  • Emailed directly into the system for true no-touch automation.  

All that remains is a quick review and approval—eliminating manual data entry while ensuring accuracy. 

This enhancement means that the brute force of matching a vendor invoice to the appropriate document and confirming that all the coding is correct falls away, leaving users to focus on higher-level thinking like review and confirmation instead of data entry.
