Managing expense data in Sage 50 often means juggling spreadsheets, re-keying expense details, and fixing coding errors that slow down financial reporting. That’s why Sage Expense Management’s integration with Sage 50 is here to help finance teams automate data entry, ensure accurate coding, and maintain clean books effortlessly.
With this integration, you can import your Sage 50 data, export expenses with just one click, and keep your ledgers fully aligned while saving hours of manual work each month.
Seamless File-Based Integration
The Sage 50 integration works through a simple, file-based connection compatible with both local and hosted Sage 50 setups, so finance teams can sync data effortlessly no matter where Sage is installed.
With this setup, you can easily:
- Import essential accounting dimensions like Chart of Accounts, Vendors, Jobs, Phases, and Cost Codes into Sage Expense Management.
- Export reimbursable and credit card expenses as Sage-ready CSVs and import that into Sage 50 without any manual data entry.
Every file is formatted exactly the way Sage 50 expects, so you can simply upload it without creating custom templates or manual field mappings.
Control How You Export Expenses
Accounting workflows vary across businesses, and this integration is built to adapt to yours.
You can configure export settings to match your workflows:
- Reimbursable Expenses: Export as General Journal Entries or Purchases based on your posting needs.
- Corporate Card Expenses: Export as General Journal Entries, Payments or Purchases for accurate reconciliation.
You also have full control over how expenses are grouped. You can export by Expense Report or by individual Expense, depending on how detailed you want your exports to be.
Import Data From Sage 50 for Precise Coding
Sage Expense Management lets you import key accounting fields from Sage 50 to ensure every expense is coded accurately from the start.
You can bring in all the essential dimensions your accounting team relies on, such as:
Here’s how the mapping works:
- Chart of Accounts → Categories
- Vendors → Merchants or Employees
- Jobs / Phases / Cost Codes → Projects, Cost Centers, or Custom Fields
Once imported, these fields appear as dropdowns in your expense forms, so employees can easily select the right values when submitting expenses.
This integration between Sage 50 and Sage Expense Management eliminates guesswork and manual entry errors. Every expense is accurately categorized, properly mapped to your General Ledger, and ready for export so you can maintain clean, audit-ready books at all times.
Customize and Automate with Advanced Settings
Finance teams can fine-tune the integration to match their processes:
- Set export schedules (daily, weekly, or monthly) to auto-generate Sage-ready files.
- Customize memo fields to display details like Employee Name + Merchant + Purpose for better clarity and audit trails.
- Skip specific expenses to avoid duplicates or exclude entries imported from other sources.
These controls help ensure data accuracy and consistency across every Sage 50 import.
Export Clean, Sage-Ready Data Every Time
After expenses are approved, Sage Expense Management creates Sage-ready CSVs for quick review, download, and import into Sage 50, all within a single dashboard.
Every file includes properly mapped values and memo details like employee names, merchants, and purposes for complete expense context.
And to give your finance team full control, the dedicated integration dashboard provides complete visibility into every export. You can easily track:
- Export logs, file download links, and status updates
- Mapping configurations and synced Chart of Accounts or Vendor lists
- Error details with clear guidance and instant correction options
If an export fails, Sage Expense Management automatically generates an error file with detailed notes, so you can review, correct, and re-upload the CSV in minutes.
Leave Behind the Manual Work
With the Sage 50 integration, Sage Expense Management brings accuracy, and visibility to your accounting process. Say goodbye to manual uploads, data mismatches, and hours spent reconciling spreadsheets.
Your expenses now flow into Sage 50, fully categorized and ready for review.
