Acumatica 2026 R1 is Here!
Great news! Acumatica 2026 R1 is here, bringing a powerful set of innovations designed to help your business grow, move faster, and make smarter decisions. We've focused on four key themes: AI Everywhere, Real-Time Visibility and Control, a Unified Experience, and delivering even deeper functionality tailored to your specific industry.
AI Everywhere: Intelligence That Works for You
Acumatica 2026 R1 puts AI to work throughout your daily operations. The new AI Assistant lets you ask questions in plain language and instantly surface answers from your data as text, charts, or tables — no need to dig through multiple screens. Advanced anomaly detection proactively uncovers hidden trends and data issues so your team can act before problems grow. Built-in data masking keeps sensitive information secure while you leverage AI, and new AI-generated summaries give you an instant read on customer opportunities and support cases, with recommended next steps included. With AI usage tracking, you stay in control of costs and performance as your AI adoption grows.
Real-Time Visibility and Control: See Everything, Act Immediately
2026 R1 gives your teams the live awareness they need to make faster, more confident decisions. The new Shop Floor Kiosk brings a touch-friendly, guided interface to the manufacturing floor, enabling workers to record production activities in real time with less training and fewer errors. In-transit inventory is now visible as planned supply, improving forecasting accuracy and preventing unnecessary purchases. Mobile time tracking lets field teams log hours, project tasks, and daily labor activities directly from their devices. And an enhanced Device Hub supports printers, scales, and handhelds more reliably — so your warehouse operations scale without slowdowns.
Unified Experience: One Platform, Seamlessly Connected
This release takes the modernized Acumatica experience further. Tag-based file management lets you organize, search, and share documents across the entire platform with ease. Interactive side panels surface key customer, vendor, and employee details without leaving your current screen. Native integrations with Adobe Acrobat Sign and DocuSign mean contracts can be sent, tracked, and synced without any custom development. And a new Excel integration with Acumatica's Analytical Report Manager lets your finance team work with live ERP data in the familiar spreadsheet environment they already trust.
Greater Industry Depth and Breadth: Tailored Excellence
Major enhancements across every industry edition help your business solve its most pressing challenges and deliver value from day one.
General Business: Elevate your financial and CRM operations with improvements across the board. Accept mobile payments in the field with a Bluetooth card reader, enter foreign currency amounts directly to simplify international payments, and import American Express GL1025 files through bank feeds to automate expense processing. In CRM, a new Activity Stream unifies all customer interactions in one place, AI-generated summaries surface instant insights on opportunities and cases, and improved duplicate validation keeps your data clean and reliable.
Manufacturing: Gain unprecedented control and visibility on the shop floor. The new Shop Floor Kiosk guides workers through clock-in, production reporting, scrap recording, and lot/serial tracking with a purpose-built interface that reduces training time. Time tracking now captures labor down to the second for more accurate costing, and enhanced costing logic for overissued inventory ensures your production financials stay clean and reconcilable.
Construction & Professional Services: Streamline projects from estimate to close. Accelerate change order workflows by releasing costs before formal revenue approval is received, keeping projects on schedule. New project material management lets you purchase and issue materials directly to projects from a centralized location. Mobile time capture lets field crews log hours from daily field reports. New reports for employee utilization, project revenue analysis, and unbilled revenue aging give leadership the real-time visibility needed to protect margins and improve billing practices.
Distribution & Commerce: Transform your supply chain with greater flexibility and automation. Warehouse staff can now change picking locations on the fly, and system-recommended put-away locations speed up receiving. New approval workflows for inventory adjustments strengthen controls. For ecommerce, Acumatica Payments is now directly connected to Shopify and BigCommerce storefronts, BigCommerce B2B company accounts can be imported and synchronized seamlessly, and new Amazon dashboards deliver actionable visibility into sales profitability, fees, FBA inventory, and settlement reports — all within Acumatica.
