Recently, I was asked to make some changes to the existing data after completing all master files and opening transactions for a new Intacct company.

You can use Excel to prepare the XML request for t...

Some companies incur expenses on their customers’ behalf, and need to get reimbursed. For example, a real estate management company may need to hire a plumber to fix a leak in one of the properties they manage. Since they don’t own the property, they need to be able to bill the owner for the expense they incurred. Intacct supports this functionality, but only through t...

by Jacky Xu Sometimes we need to check some debug information, but do not want to create a log file. We can use a tool named “debugview.exe” to monitor the debug output. 
The tool is developed by Sysinternals. And you can download it from the Microsoft website. For a .net developer, it is very simple to get a program’s output debug information. Try this:
