How Sage Intacct reports inventory turnover.
A short reference for the finance team reconciling the number on this calculator with the number Sage Intacct returns. Report name, the menu path, the costing assumptions, and the one caveat that bites most often.
What this page is, and what it is not
This is not a buy/don’t-buy review of Sage Intacct, and it is not a pricing comparison. Inventory turnover is a formula, not a software market: any general ledger that posts COGS and tracks inventory value can produce the ratio. This page exists for the moment a CFO runs our calculator on the trial balance, runs the Sage Intacct report, and gets two different numbers. Below is why.
Where the turnover report lives
Sage Intacct’s report is called Inventory Stock Status and General Ledger reports. The path is Inventory > Reports > Stock Status; Reports > General Ledger > Trial Balance.
What the report counts as COGS
GL COGS accounts mapped per dimension; multi-entity roll-ups available.
What the report counts as inventory
Sage Intacct uses the configurable inventory basis by default. Our calculator defaults to average inventory (beginning plus ending, divided by two). If you want the two numbers to agree, set both to the same basis before reconciling. See average vs ending inventory for the trade-off.
How Sage Intacct annualises
Configurable. Custom Report Writer can compute (COGS x 365/days)/avg inventory directly if the dimension mapping is in place.
The one caveat that bites
Multi-entity consolidations can double-count intercompany inventory if eliminations are not posted; verify the eliminations entity before reporting turnover externally.
Reconciling the Sage Intacct number with this calculator
- In Sage Intacct, run Inventory Stock Status and General Ledger reports for the same window you used in our calculator (calendar year, fiscal year, or trailing twelve months).
- Set inventory basis to match: our calculator uses average by default; Sage Intacct uses configurable. Either change ours via the toggle, or pull the second balance point from Sage Intacct and average it yourself.
- Confirm the COGS number matches your P&L. If Sage Intacct is upstream of your GL (for example Cin7 or Fishbowl feeding QuickBooks), wait for the sync to clear before comparing.
- Apply the caveat above. For mixed-method costing or multi-entity roll-ups, the single-number turnover is rarely defensible without a per-segment breakdown.
Pricing context (for completeness, not the point)
Sage Intacct is quote-only. Quote only. Sage does not publish list pricing for Intacct; typical entry deals reported by resellers start mid-five-figures annually. See the vendor page for the request flow. Recent change: Sage continues to position Intacct as quote-only through 2026; Inventory Management module remains an add-on to core financials.
