Bulk changing account codes means moving many bills or lines from one account to another in one go, usually after finding a coding mistake.
Before you start
- Accounts Payable subscription
- Bills: List, View, Edit, Reclass; reclassification turned on in Configure Accounts Payable
The Sage Intacct way
Where to find it: Accounts Payable > All > Bills > Edit > Reclassify
- For unposted bills edit the bill and change the Account on the lines.
- For bills in Selected, Partially paid or Paid state turn on reclassification in Configure Accounts Payable first.
- Open the bill, select Edit then Reclassify.
- Change the Bill number, Account number, line dimensions or 1099 fields and save.
Limits in Sage Intacct
- Reclassify works one bill at a time. You cannot change amounts or add and remove lines.
- The Sage Intacct help describes no bulk account change tool for bills.
- Not available in the France region.
Words Sage Intacct uses
- Dimension. A tag on a transaction line, such as department, location, project or class. You report by any mix of them.
The Pulsify way
- Fix the account in Pulsify before approval. Pulsify learns from corrections, so later bills for that vendor follow the new account.
- For bills already in Sage Intacct, make the change in Sage Intacct.

Common questions
Can I change the account on a bill that is already paid?
Yes, if reclassification is turned on in Configure Accounts Payable. Open the bill, select Edit then Reclassify and change the Account, dimensions or 1099 fields.
Can I reclassify many bills at once?
Not in the Sage Intacct help. Reclassify works one bill at a time.
What can Reclassify not change?
You cannot change amounts or add and remove lines. For unposted bills you edit the bill and change the Account on the lines.
Does Pulsify recode old bills?
No. Pulsify codes bills before they reach your accounting system. Past bills are changed in your accounting system.
