Creating "Routable Balance Clearing" Cash Management and General Ledger accounts in your Sage Intacct company

Typically, Routable will create your "Routable Balance Clearing" cash management and general ledger (GL) accounts in your Intacct company for you. There are, however, instances where you may not want Routable to, or Routable is unable to, create these cash management and/or GL accounts. You must create these account(s) yourself for Routable to sync to your Intacct company successfully.

⚠️  Before you start, decide where you want to create these accounts 

It’s important to understand how your Sage Intacct account will sync with Routable. The GL account and Cash Management checking account can be created at the top level or at an entity level in your Intacct company. If you are unsure of where to create these accounts, please make sure to discuss this integration with your implementation manager to determine which setup is best for you.
