Important  

Please note that the Web Services functionality configured in Sage Intacct requires a Web User License for external access. Therefore, a Web User License must be obtained from Sage Intacct to implement with Nectari.

Create a Role for the User

Before creating a user, you need first to create a role so that the user can send API requests in DataSync.

  1. In the upper bar, click Roles located in the Company tab.

  2. In the Roles page, click Add.

  3. In the Name field, enter Nectari and click Save.

  4. In the Roles Subscription page, select the Application / Module check box and click the Permissions hyperlink.

  5. In the Permissions window, click Read-Only and then Save.

    Important

    Permissions must be set to Read-Only for all modules/applications listed in this page, to allow / authorize DataSync to retrieve data from Sage Intacct.

  6. Click Save.

Create a User

After creating the role, you can now create the user that will be used to authenticate the connection between DataSync and Sage Intacct.

  1. In the upper bar, click Web Services users, located in the Company tab.



  2. In the Web Services Users page, click Add.

  3. Fill in the User ID, Last Name, First Name and Email fields.
  4. Under the User Type section, select Business.

  5. Under the Admin Privileges section, select Full.

    Note

    Sage Intacct will use the email address you enter here to send you the password associated with the User ID you set.

    This User ID will be used for the configuration of the connection in DataSync .

    Example

    Here we defined Nectari as User ID.

  1. Once this is done, click the Role Information tab.

  2. Click one of the lines and select Nectari in the Role Name drop-down list.

  3. Click Save and then OK in the pop-up window.
  4. In the Password window, enter the password you used to log in your Sage Account and click Done.
Note

Once the user has been created, it will appear in the list as shown below :

You will also receive an email from Sage Intacct containing the credentials related to this user.

Configuration of Sage Intacct is now complete, so you can now proceed with DataSync connection settings.

Import Process and Delete Application in Sage Intacct

When you delete data in Sage Intacct, the Import Process and Delete application triggers a table named NecAuditDelete that removes the deleted row in DataSync as well. The Import Process and Delete application must be set up according to the following procedure in order to function properly.

Complete the following steps in Sage Intacct to import the Process and Delete application:

  1. From Platform Services, go to Application and select Install from XML: Nectari_ProcessDelete.xml. This file can be found in ShareFile.

    This creates the object NecDeleteAudit that registers the record number for each batch or transaction entry that is deleted with the triggers installed in the following step.

  2. The Role — Nectari needs permission for the object NecDeleteAudit.

  3. Users that make any updates (insert, edit, or delete) to the tables GLEntry and GLBatch must also have permission for the object NecDeleteAudit. There are two options to achieve this:

    • Option 1:

      1. Create a new role called NectariAudit. In the Nectari Permissions window, select Add to enable the Add permission.

      2. In the User information window, Add the NectariAudit role to the users.

    • Option 2:

      Rather than add roles to the individual, you can add them to the group.
