How it works

Connects via direct API.

Sage 200 invoice automation runs through a direct API connection, and works the same way for Sage 50 and Sage X3, syncing your master data, purchase orders, and invoice postings automatically.

01

Connect to Sage

Direct API connection to Sage 200, Sage 50, or Sage X3. Map your chart of accounts, tax codes, and supplier records automatically.

02

Capture invoices

Forward invoices from email, scan paper documents, or receive e-invoices. Data Forge reads every field at 89% extraction accuracy.

03

Match & approve

Automatic PO matching against Sage purchase orders. Variances route to the right approver based on your existing Sage workflows.

04

Post to Sage

Approved invoices post directly into Sage as purchase invoices with full nominal coding, tax allocation, and audit trail.

Sage capabilities

Your nominal codes, tax codes and suppliers, straight from Sage.

Stratas works with your existing Sage setup: nominal codes, departments, tax codes, and supplier records all sync automatically.

PO matching against Sage orders

Match invoices to Sage purchase orders at header or line level. Partial deliveries and GRNs handled automatically.

Nominal code mapping

Your Sage chart of accounts maps directly. Non-PO invoices are coded using AI-learned patterns from your historical data.

Multi-company support

Run multiple Sage companies through a single Stratas instance. Each company maintains its own coding rules and approval workflows.

Automatic tax allocation

VAT codes from Sage are applied automatically. Reverse charge, zero-rated, and mixed-rate invoices are handled without manual intervention.

Approval workflows

Route invoices for approval based on value, department, nominal code, or any Sage field. Approvers get email notifications with one-click approve.

Full audit trail

Every action from capture through posting is logged. Exportable for audit, tied back to your Sage transaction references.

Built for the Sage you run.

Sage isn't one product. The integration is tuned to the edition you're on. Same capture, matching and posting, shaped to how each Sage works.

Deepest integration

Sage 200

Stratas captures invoices from email or paper, matches them to Sage 200 purchase orders at line level (partial deliveries and GRNs included), codes them to your nominals, departments and cost centres, and posts them as purchase invoices with VAT allocated and the audit trail intact. Every invoice stays visible from arrival to posting: who's holding it, what it's waiting on, when it hit the ledger.

For smaller finance teams

Sage 50

Running Sage 50? You get the same capture, coding and approval flow sized for a smaller team: forward invoices by email, approve with one click from anywhere, and post to Sage 50 without rekeying anything.
