# Overview

MakersHub brings automated accounts payable and approval workflows together with Sage Intacct’s accounting structure. Review the details extracted from emailed or uploaded invoices and receipts, apply your Intacct coding, and move bills through approval and payment.

**Construction & Real Estate (CRE)**

Sage Intacct offers additional **Construction & Real Estate (CRE)** subscriptions. With Construction enabled, MakersHub provides line-level **Project**, **Cost Code**, **Cost Type**, and **Employee | EQ** fields with options refreshed from Intacct.

Use [Construction & Real Estate in MakersHub](/docs/sage-intacct-user-guide-construction-and-real-estate) for supported line coding and display settings; [Intacct's Construction overview](https://www.intacct.com/ia/docs/en_US/help_action/Construction/construction-overview.htm) covers the wider feature.

### Recommended approach

This guide covers common AP workflows and the recommended Sage Intacct configuration for MakersHub. Construction-specific differences are identified where they affect a task.

Start with [Single-entity and multi-entity configuration](/docs/sage-intacct-user-guide-best-practices#mh-single-entity-and-multi-entity-configuration) before setup. Then connect, inspect your imports, and confirm your working context using [*Direct Entity* explained](/docs/sage-intacct-user-guide-connect#mh-understand-direct-entity). For substantially different configurations or unexpected results, [Troubleshooting and common questions](/docs/sage-intacct-user-guide-troubleshooting-and-common-questions) provides the relevant checks and support route.

### Connect and run your first sync

Start with [Connect Sage Intacct](/docs/sage-intacct-user-guide-connect), for Web Services setup, application permissions, and connection verification:

1. Prepare your Web Services user with full application access in Intacct.
2. Enter your connection details in MakersHub and test the connection and required read permissions.
3. Run **Sync Data with Sage Intacct**, then inspect the imported records in **Integration Data**.

*For screenshots of connecting, testing, and your first sync, see [Setup in MakersHub](https://support.makershub.ai/docs/integrating-with-sage-intacct#setup-in-makershub) in Setup Walkthroughs.*
