Buildflow + Sage Accounting

Planned

Keep Sage accounting records connected to the construction project

The project team needs construction context; the accounts team needs reliable accounting records. Buildflow is designed to connect the two without pretending that a future payment stage is already an invoice or overdue payment.

Current availability: Not built yet. It does nothing in your workspace today. The Sage Accounting connection is not built yet. Nothing on this page is switched on in your workspace today, and we will not offer it until it is.

Information Buildflow can organise

  • Approved clients and accounting contacts
  • Payment applications ready for invoicing
  • Sales invoice references and status
  • Supplier bill references where configured
  • Payments received against issued documents

What AI can propose

  • Suggest matches between Sage records and Buildflow projects
  • Explain discrepancies between contract, application, invoice and paid values
  • Flag missing references or duplicate posting risks
  • Summarise project cash position using clearly labelled sources

Actions that retain approval

  • Creating sales invoices or supplier bills
  • Changing contact or tax information
  • Marking a payment as received
  • Resolving a disputed or duplicate accounting match

How the connection works

  1. 1

    A workspace administrator configures and authorises Sage Accounting.

  2. 2

    Buildflow validates the connection and accounting tenant.

  3. 3

    An authorised payment application is prepared for export.

  4. 4

    The returned accounting reference is stored against the project record.

  5. 5

    Reconciliation highlights differences instead of silently overwriting either system.

Frequently asked questions

Does Buildflow replace Sage Accounting?

No. Sage remains the accounting platform. Buildflow supplies the linked construction contract, project, variation and payment-stage context.

Can Buildflow send payment applications to Sage?

The intended controlled workflow prepares an approved application for accounting export and stores the returned invoice reference. Availability depends on workspace configuration and validation.

How are duplicates avoided?

Each posting needs a stable claim or external reference, and retries should reuse it. Reconciliation must surface uncertain matches for a person rather than creating another accounting document.
