# Import Paige invoices into Sage Intacct from CSV

Export a batch of invoices from Paige, copy the one-row-per-document CSV into Intacct's bill import template, and load it from Accounts Payable > Bills > Import — bills with vendor, dates, bill number, account, and amount filled from Paige; PDFs attached by hand if you want them.

**At the end of this guide, a batch of invoices that Paige read becomes a batch of AP bills in Sage Intacct in one import — vendor, dates, bill number, account, and amount filled from Paige's CSV — with nothing to build.**

Intacct's importer uses its own template, downloaded fresh each time because it reflects your company's dimensions and custom fields. Paige's CSV has one row per document with a column per field; the work is a copy between the two. The importer does not attach files — Intacct's own documentation notes the supporting document ID column isn't implemented for import — so attach PDFs by hand afterwards, or use the [API path](/paige/integrations/integrate-paige-with-the-sage-intacct-api).

## Step 1 — Get the CSV out of Paige

- **Download:** in Paige, open **Documents**, click **Export**, and in the **Export Documents** dialog choose the **Scope**, the **Filters** (**Reviewed** only, **Field Data** with fields, **Status** not yet exported), tick **Download** under **Destinations**, and confirm. Paige emails a link; the zip contains the PDFs and the data files, including the one-row-per-document CSV.
- **SFTP:** if the scan job exports to SFTP, turn on **Generate combined metadata file** on the **FTP** card so each export run also writes the combined CSV.

Open it in a spreadsheet. **What you should see:** a header row with the PDF file name, the document type, and one column per Paige field, then one row per invoice.

## Step 2 — Fill Intacct's template

1. In Intacct, go to **Accounts Payable > All > Bills**, select **Import**, and click **Download template**. Open the template in the same spreadsheet. Its required columns include `VENDOR_ID`, `CREATED_DATE`, `DUE_DATE`, `LINE_NO`, `ACCT_NO`, and `AMOUNT`; the rest depend on your configuration.
2. Fill one row per bill (or per line):
   
   | Template column | Fill from |
   |---|---|
   | `VENDOR_ID` | The Intacct vendor **ID** for Paige's `Vendor Name` — look it up against a vendor export (`VLOOKUP`) |
   | `RECORDID` (bill number) | `Invoice Number` |
   | `CREATED_DATE` | `Invoice Date` |
   | `DUE_DATE` | `Due Date` |
   | `LINE_NO` | `1` |
   | `ACCT_NO` | The expense account number you post invoices to |
   | `AMOUNT` | `Total`, as a plain number |
   | Dimensions (department, location, …) | Whatever your company requires; the template shows which are mandatory |

3. Keep dates in your Intacct date format, and leave any supporting-document column blank.
4. Save as CSV.

## Step 3 — Import

Back in **Accounts Payable > All > Bills > Import**, choose the CSV and run the import. **What you should see:** Intacct reports how many bills were created and lists any rows with errors and the reason.

## Step 4 — Attach the PDFs (optional)

Open each bill (**Accounts Payable > All > Bills**, **Edit**), open the **Attachment** field's menu, choose **Add**, and add the matching PDF from Paige's export (the CSV's file-name column tells you which is which). Each bill holds one attachment, which can contain several files. To never do this by hand, use the API path.

## When it doesn't work

| Symptom | Where to look |
| --- | --- |
| Rows rejected on the vendor | `VENDOR_ID` must be the ID, not the name. |
| Rows rejected on a dimension | Your company requires a department, location, or other dimension on AP lines. Fill it in the template. |
| Rows rejected on the date | Match your Intacct date format exactly. |
| Bills imported twice | Use Paige's **Status: Not Exported** filter when exporting and export each batch once; a duplicate bill number for the same vendor is also rejected by Intacct. |
