How do expense management platforms integrate with Sage Intacct for international businesses?
Short answer
Expense management platforms integrate with Sage Intacct by syncing coded card transactions, receipts, reimbursements, and accounting fields into the appropriate entity. For international businesses, the integration should support entity-level configuration, local currencies, tax coding, and reimbursement workflows without requiring finance teams to re-enter the same information in two systems.
How Ramp syncs expenses and receipts with Sage Intacct
Ramp connects directly to Sage Intacct and syncs card purchases as credit card transactions. The accounting fields available in Ramp reflect the Sage Intacct configuration, including custom fields and user-defined dimensions, so finance teams can apply the appropriate coding before a transaction syncs.
Receipts uploaded in Ramp sync to Sage Intacct as attachments. If an employee adds a receipt after the card transaction has already synced, Ramp automatically sends the attachment to Sage Intacct.
After a card transaction has synced, later edits to its coding must be made in Sage Intacct. This keeps the accounting system as the record of finalized transactions.
How Ramp supports multi-entity and multi-currency accounting
Ramp supports multi-entity businesses using Sage Intacct. Cards and funds can be assigned to a specific entity, so the resulting transactions are attributed to that entity for accounting and reconciliation.
For Sage Intacct organizations with entities that use different base currencies, credit card accounts must be created at the entity level rather than at the top level. This gives each entity its own card-account and offset-account setup in Sage Intacct.
Ramp can also use the location assigned to a transaction to determine the appropriate Sage Intacct subsidiary for the sync.
How tax coding works with Sage Intacct
Ramp pulls an entity’s available tax codes from Sage Intacct, allowing finance teams to select the relevant Intacct Tax Detail before syncing a card transaction, reimbursement, or bill. If a tax-enabled entity requires a tax code, Ramp will flag the missing information before the transaction syncs.
Ramp’s automated tax coding can also analyze receipt details and suggest or apply the appropriate tax code when the required integration and automation settings are enabled. Tax codes are filtered by entity, helping teams apply the correct local tax treatment to each transaction.
How international reimbursements sync to Sage Intacct
Sage Intacct supports Ramp’s locally funded reimbursement workflow for eligible international entities. A business can fund reimbursements from a local-currency bank account assigned to the entity, including accounts in CAD or GBP where eligible.

It depends on the accounting integration and transaction type. Ramp can sync the original transaction currency, card statement currency, or accounting provider’s configured currency, but each integration has its own rules for card transactions, bills, and reimbursements.
