Step One: Finding your Sage Intacct Company ID
Log into your Sage Intacct application.
If your Sage Intacct application is a multi-entity organization, ensure the "Top Level" entity is selected.
The Company ID can be found under Company > Setup > Company.
Populate the Company ID in Merge Link.
Step Two: Create a Web Services User
Log into your Sage Intacct application.
If your Sage Intacct application is a multi-entity organization, ensure the entity you would like to link is selected.
Navigate to Company > Admin > Web Services Users.
Begin adding a new Web Services User by selecting the "Add" button in the top right of the screen.
Populate the User Information form with the below details.
User ID, First name, and Last name
These values are not important but should be remembered for future steps.

A warning may appear saying there will be a charge for creating the User. This warning does not apply to this user and can be ignored.
If the "Verify your identity" pop-up appears, enter your password
At this point, the email address entered will receive a password from Sage Intacct. Store this for future use

Step Five: Populate details in Merge Link
After entering the Company ID in Step One, you will be prompted to enter the information we have created in all of the previous steps. See the bullets below:

If your Sage Intacct application IS a multi-entity organization, and you would like to link a specific entity, follow the steps below.
