Centage enables you to upload current data from your accounting or ERP system to analyze or use in your budget. After you set up an integration between Centage and your accounting system, Centage can extract data every night to use for the next day.

Centage can integrate with many accounting systems, including Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT.

This Implementation guide shows you, a Centage and Blackbaud Administrator, how to authorize Centage to access your General Ledger data in Blackbaud. 

Integration Overview

Centage’s integration can pull in core General Ledger structures and information from Financial Edge NXT. It extracts data every night to ensure fresh data is populated into Centage for the following day.

We extract the following information:

1. General Ledger Dimensions (Standard)

2. General Ledger Transaction Details (Optional)
   Fields that would be available in Excel Drill-through

Optional data you could include: Transaction Details.

Please Note: Including optional data may impact performance depending on data volume and is excluded unless otherwise requested.
