Dimensional Accounting: A New Way for Finance to Work

Kenzie Cook / October 1, 2026

As organizations grow, so does the complexity of their financial reporting. New entities, departments, locations, programs, grants, or classes all demand visibility, but many finance teams try to manage that complexity by continuously adding accounts to their general ledger. The result is an overgrown chart of accounts, rigid reports, and far too much time spent manipulating spreadsheets.
This is exactly the problem dimensional accounting was designed to solve, and it’s one of the core reasons companies choose Sage Intacct.
In traditional accounting systems, reporting relies heavily on the chart of accounts. Want to track expenses by department? Add accounts. Need reporting by location or project? Add more accounts. Over time, this creates a bloated GL structure that is difficult to maintain and even harder to analyze.

Moving Document Attachments to External Storage in Business Central

Susan Boeve / October 1, 2026

Every scanned invoice, vendor packing slip, and signed sales order attachment in Business Central lives in the same place: your production database. That’s fine until it isn’t — until you’re staring at a capacity warning and realizing that years of PDFs are eating into the same storage limit as your actual transactional data. Business Central now has a built-in answer to that problem: external file storage. Here’s what it actually involves.
The files themselves move off your database and onto external storage; only the link back to the record stays in BC. Users don’t see a difference — they still open, add, and manage attachments from the same Attachments FactBox they always have. What changes is where the bytes actually live.
