Sage Intacct releases updates to its applications each quarter. Although these automatic updates require no action on your part, they do include new features and product enhancements to help heighten your Sage Intacct user experience. In this article, we will cover how to access Sage Intacct release notes to help keep your system running smoothly, as well as ways to drive deeper engagement from the platform.
To access release notes, navigate to the Sage Intacct homepage. If you’re logged in as a customer, release notes can be found near the top left corner of the page. Click on “Read the release notes” to discover the full list of updates.
You also may use the “Release notes” link found in the Help & Support section on the Sage Intacct homepage near the lower left corner.
After navigating to the release notes, you can find a listing for the 2024 Release Calendar at the top of the left menu. Select this menu item to display the full calendar of quarterly dates, including past and future releases.
The release notes page contains details on the last eight releases, sorted in descending date order in the menu.
The release notes page contains links for specific regions, a highlights video, and a table of release highlights with brief feature descriptions and hyperlinks to detailed articles on the features and enhancements.
Once you select a specific release option from the menu, the section will expand to show various topics for review. To read about Sage Intacct application updates, select the Financials menu item shown below. Note that “Company and Administration” and “Platform Services, Customization, and Extensions” are listed separately on the menu.
The Financials menu item expands to list all Sage Intacct applications in alphabetical order. You may then select any application name to see the list of updates made in the release and drill down to detailed articles for each enhancement.
As an example, the Cash Management release notes menu is shown below.
Early Adopter Programs
Are you interested in shaping new features and providing feedback to Sage Intacct? If so, consider joining an early adopter program. Increasingly, Sage Intacct product managers are releasing new features through early adopter programs. As a participant, you’ll help test and enhance functionality before it is widely released.
When you review the release notes for various applications, you may see references to early adopter programs starting, continuing, or coming soon. For example, there are programs for “Automated transaction matching for Purchasing workflows” and “Work in progress (WIP) management in Construction.”
Click on the release notes topic to learn more about the program. There may be an application form to fill in and submit within the release notes browser page, or the article may include instructions to contact your Sage Intacct Partner or Account Manager for program inquiries. Please send a message to your Sage Intacct Implementation Consultant or to IntacctSupport@us.forvismazars.com if you are interested in joining an early adopter program and would like more information.
Please note that Sage Intacct Product Managers accept new customers into programs at different times. Based on the level of interest and how long the program has been in place, the acceptance window may close as the feature reaches an upcoming release date and becomes generally available.
