Intacct Ruby Gem

A Ruby gem for interacting with the Sage Intacct API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "intacct"

Requirements: Ruby 3.2 or higher.

Usage

Configuration

Configure the gem with your Intacct credentials:

Intacct.configure do |config|
  config.sender_id = ENV["INTACCT_SENDER_ID"]
  config.sender_password = ENV["INTACCT_SENDER_PASSWORD"]
end

Security Note: Never commit credentials to version control. Use environment variables or a secrets management system.

Making Requests

Query Records

Query Intacct objects with filters and sorting:

query = Intacct::Functions::Query.new(
  object: "CUSTOMER",
  select: ["CUSTOMERID", "NAME", "EMAIL", "STATUS"],
  filter: { "STATUS" => "active" },
  order: { "NAME" => "asc" }
)

request = Intacct::Request.new
request.use_credentials_authentication(
  user_id: ENV["INTACCT_USER_ID"],
  company_id: ENV["INTACCT_COMPANY_ID"],
  user_password: ENV["INTACCT_USER_PASSWORD"]
)
request.add_function(query, "query-001")

response = Intacct::Gateway.new.send_request(request)

if response.successful?
  result = response.get_function_result("query-001")
  if result.successful?
    customers = result.data
    customers.each do |customer|
      puts "#{customer['CUSTOMERID']}: #{customer['NAME']}"
    end
  else
    puts "Function error: #{result.errors.join(', ')}"
  end
else
  puts "Request failed"
end

Create Records

Create new records in Intacct:

create = Intacct::Functions::Create.new(
  object: "CUSTOMER",
  fields: {
    "CUSTOMERID" => "C-001",
    "NAME" => "Acme Corporation",
    "EMAIL" => "contact@acme.com",
    "STATUS" => "active"
  }
)

request = Intacct::Request.new
request.use_credentials_authentication(
  user_id: ENV["INTACCT_USER_ID"],
  company_id: ENV["INTACCT_COMPANY_ID"],
  user_password: ENV["INTACCT_USER_PASSWORD"]
)
request.add_function(create, "create-001")

response = Intacct::Gateway.new.send_request(request)

if response.successful?
  result = response.get_function_result("create-001")
  puts "Customer created!" if result.successful?
end

Update Records

Update existing records:

update = Intacct::Functions::Update.new(
  object: "CUSTOMER",
  keys: { "CUSTOMERID" => "C-001" },
  fields: {
    "EMAIL" => "newemail@acme.com",
    "STATUS" => "inactive"
  }
)

request = Intacct::Request.new
request.use_credentials_authentication(
  user_id: ENV["INTACCT_USER_ID"],
  company_id: ENV["INTACCT_COMPANY_ID"],
  user_password: ENV["INTACCT_USER_PASSWORD"]
)
request.add_function(update, "update-001")

response = Intacct::Gateway.new.send_request(request)

Read by ID

Read a specific record by ID:

read = Intacct::Functions::Read.new(
  object: "CUSTOMER",
  keys: "C-001",
  fields: ["CUSTOMERID", "NAME", "EMAIL"]
)

request = Intacct::Request.new
request.use_credentials_authentication(
  user_id: ENV["INTACCT_USER_ID"],
  company_id: ENV["INTACCT_COMPANY_ID"],
  user_password: ENV["INTACCT_USER_PASSWORD"]
)
request.add_function(read, "read-001")

response = Intacct::Gateway.new.send_request(request)

Case-Insensitive Queries

Perform case-insensitive queries:

query = Intacct::Functions::Query.new(
  object: "CUSTOMER",
  select: ["CUSTOMERID", "NAME"],
  filter: { "NAME" => "acme" },
  case_insensitive: true
)

Error Handling

Always check response status and handle errors:

response = Intacct::Gateway.new.send_request(request)

if response.successful?
  result = response.get_function_result("my-control-id")
  if result.successful?
    puts "Success: #{result.data}"
  else
    puts "Function error: #{result.errors.join(', ')}"
  end
else
  puts "Request failed"
end

Session Authentication

Get an API session for subsequent requests:

get_session = Intacct::Functions::GetApiSession.new(location_id: "US")

request = Intacct::Request.new
request.use_credentials_authentication(
  user_id: ENV["INTACCT_USER_ID"],
  company_id: ENV["INTACCT_COMPANY_ID"],
  user_password: ENV["INTACCT_USER_PASSWORD"]
)
request.add_function(get_session, "session-001")

response = Intacct::Gateway.new.send_request(request)

if response.successful?
  result = response.get_function_result("session-001")
  if result.successful?
    session_id = result.data["sessionid"]
    # Use session_id for subsequent requests
  end
end
