Before you start onboarding
Before starting your Toast – Sage Intacct software name onboarding, carefully review the "Ensuring your accounting data is accurate" section below. This will help you understand how the integration works and how your team must manage your Toast bills and items to ensure your accounting information is accurate and easy to reconcile.
Ensuring your accounting information is accurate
Your Toast environment offers a great level of flexibility which allows your team to manage open items and bills with a delay and to make modifications to your data up to 90 days later. While this is operationally convenient, it can have a negative impact on automating the transfer of your Toast financial data into your accounting system.
All of your financial data must be finalised in Toast before it can be transferred to your Sage Intacct accounting system. This allows your team, or any auditor, to reconcile the data between your accounting software and your Toast environment.
To make sure your data transfer is accurate, your team must follow the best practices outlined below:
All items and bills closed before data transfer
If you wish to have your Toast data sent to Sage Intacct the following day, your team will have to make sure that there are no items or bills left open by the end of each day. Please note that no changes made after the daily data transfer into Sage Intacct will automatically be picked up by the integration.
2. Delayed data transfer
If you know that your team is unable to close all items and bills on the same day but can consistently do so within a specific timeframe, example 2 or 3 days later, then your Toast – Sage Intacct integration can be configured to automatically transfer data after that period. Please note that no changes made after the daily data transfer into Sage Intacct will automatically be picked up by the integration.
3. Manually resending changed data
As changes to previously sent data are not automatically transferred, if you chose to modify historic data, you must also resend that data to your Sage Intacct environment. This can be done by:
Making the necessary change in your Toast environment
Removing the original journal from your Sage Intacct environment (accounting software is designed to prevent duplicate journals so removal is required before a new journal can be posted)
Resending the updated data via your Omniboost integration platform profile
Without adhering to the best practices listed above, your team will not be able to reconcile your Sage Intacct journals with Toast for any dates with open items, bills or past modified data.
Getting started
Request connection from Toast
To get started with your new Toast – Sage Intacct connection, the Omniboost team needs your Toast Property GUID. This can be requested via your Toast marketplace.
These credentials will be used to connect to your Toast environment and fetch information required for the onboarding including the sales categories, payment types, revenue centers etc.
The Omniboost onboarding team will create your new profile in our onboarding platform. When your new profile is ready, you will receive an email with all information required to start the onboarding process.
2. Give Omniboost Access
To enable the Omniboost team to support you throughout the lifetime of your integration, please create an account that allows Omniboost support team to access your Toast backend.
The Omniboost team will only use this account to view additional details about your Toast configuration and reports. No changes will ever be made without receiving your written permission beforehand.
To create the account please follow the instructions outlined in this Toast help article. Please use the info@omniboost.io email.
3. Toast and Sage Intacct configuration
Before starting the onboarding process, it’s important that both of the systems we will be connecting are fully configured.
In Toast, please make sure that your environment has all sales and payment types, revenue centers etc that you will be using finalized.
In Sage Intacct, please make sure that your chart of accounts, cost centers and tax rates are all configured. In addition to the COA, you will also have to set up a new Web Service in Sage Intacct. This will allow the Omniboost team to fetch and send information necessary for the connection. To create a new Sage Intacct Web Service, please follow this setup guide.
As information will be fetched from both systems, making sure that both are correctly configured will help provide a smoother onboarding process.
4. Onboarding email
Please follow the link in the onboarding email to access the onboarding form. If you did not receive the email, please double-check your spam folder. If you have any issues with the email link or any other questions, please contact us via pos-support@omniboost.io.
IMPORTANT: The onboarding steps in the form linked in the email are best completed by a member of your team that is familiar with your accounting process. Specifically, they will need to confirm how and where the integration should be posting the Toast financial information into Sage Intacct.
If this task should be completed by another member of your team, please forward the onboarding email to them.
5. Connect to Sage Intacct
Once you've created the Sage Intacct Web Service as explained in step 2 above, the Omniboost team will receive an automated notification with your Sage Intacct API credentials. These will be entered into your onboarding profile before you start the onboarding process.
If you've correctly set up the Sage Intacct credentials, in step 4, you will see the Sage Intacct connection is successful. Please select the correct location and click Confirm and Continue.
If you experience any issues with any step of the process, please reach out to our support team. Throughout the onboarding process, you can easily submit a ticket to our support team using the Help icon found in the bottom right corner of the screen.
When submitting a ticket, please provide as much detailed information as is available to help our support team troubleshoot the issue faster.
6. Integration settings
Now that we’ve successfully connected both your Toast and Sage Intacct environments, we kindly ask that you provide us with the information needed to correctly configure your new integration.
Please note that some fields are required and without completing them, you will not be able to proceed to the next step. Please review and complete all applicable fields.
If a field is not marked as required and it does not apply to your operations, then you are able to leave it blank.
If you need more information about a specific field, please hover your mouse over the information tool tip icon shown next to each of the fields.
Once you’ve provided all applicable information, please click Confirm and Continue.
Note: By clicking Confirm and Continue, the information you’ve already provided will be saved and available in case you have to pause the onboarding process at any time.
You will be able to return to the correct step in the form at any time by using the link in the onboarding email.
7. Accounting mapping
This is the final step in the onboarding process. Here you can see the different sections representing various categories we have pulled from your Toast environment including sales categories, payment types, tax levels, discounts and revenue centers.
For each value shown on the left, please provide the relevant Sage Intacct code to confirm where in Sage Intacct this information must be posted. Please repeat for each item in each category.
If you need to add things to your Toast or Sage Intacct environments, please make sure to refresh the page and allow a few minutes to pass for the new values to be available in the form. If you find items that exist in your Toast or Sage Intacct environments but are not visible in the onboarding form, please let us know by clicking on the Help icon in the bottom-right corner and submitting a ticket to our support team.
Once you’ve provided all required and relevant information, click Confirm and Continue.
8. Finalize
Thank you for providing all of the information needed to set up your new Toast – Sage Intacct connection!
Before we can inform our onboarding team to start setting up your integration, please take a moment to review and confirm our Terms and Conditions as well as Privacy Policy. When you’ve done that, please mark both boxes and click Continue.
9. Integration setup and testing
The Omniboost team has been notified that you’ve completed the onboarding form. Your integration will now be scheduled for setup. Once the setup is complete, the team will generate a test journal and push it to your Sage Intacct environment.
We will notify you and kindly ask that you review the test information and confirm that everything is correctly posted and reconciles with your Toast environment daily reports.
10. Go-live
Once you’ve confirmed that all Toast data has been correctly posted to your Sage Intacct environment, our onboarding team will enable your new connection and start the automated daily transfer.
