Has a date been announced for the general release of 2025 R1?

Thank you for the update!

Depending on how long you need testing and a sandbox, I wouldn’t recommend going to 25R2. The first few releases are always buggy, and you need to keep upgrading to the next level. It’s not as hard as going from one version (23) to another (25), but still it’s work. 

We started on 2023 R1 and upgraded to 2024 R1.  We plan on sticking with annual major upgrades (plus minor patches) and going to 2025 R1 once the first few minor updates are released to address bugs discovered in early general release adoption.

We are going to 2025 R1 but we are going to start testing with the first build but we are going to keep it in the test environment until the 2nd build unless testing goes extremely well without any glitches. We’ve been on Acumatica since 2020 so we have been through a few upgrades. 

I’ve found some dept are better than others in testing and what they do for testing.  I went through and created a detail plan on each modules of scenarios that need to be tested. It’s always best to catch an issue in the test environment rather than the live file. 

100%.  I’m not sure how large you are but we have a team of about 6 that basically led our implementation and went through our testing scenarios from 2023R1 to 2024R1.  We were pretty successful with that and only found a couple of small things missed after the upgrade.  We’ll likely go the same route again, but likely with a more detailed testing script for each module.

​@eucciferri35 Tomorrow we are expecting release of 25r1.

So excited about 2025 R1.  I will upgrade on build 3 or build 4.  

Why can’t I upgrade locally 2024R2 build 209 to 2025R1 build 25.100.0054 (non cloud)?

Error:

Upgrade process has been interrupted. The database cannot be upgraded because your current build (24.209.0013) is incompatible with the build (25.100.0054) you want to install. Wait for the next update package that will be compatible with your current build.
 

The release notes of 2025R1 mentions nothing about this.

Im getting the same error

Looking into the official release notes again, it’s because it says it only supports upgrading from 2024R2 build 208 and earlier. That’s all fine and well if the build release schedule was like before, but it’s been over two months since that initial 100 build came out. Where is build 101 or 102 already that is compatible with upgrading from 2024R2 build 209 and newer? Not every instance is SAAS. We still need usable build releases (especially internally and/or for demo purposes). Putting in the effort to stay up to date get left out in the cold in the end? Ridiculous.

Please note that 25R1 is the start of a new way of using Acumatica and updates, updates are no more, so there won’t be buggy first releases to worry about. We’ve moved to using Service Packs and Patches.

Check out this article which explains it:

So basically on prem or demo greater than build 209 have to wait until mid June. I get the premise, but this rollout change does not seem to have been very well thought out. Those putting the effort to stay up to date (which is what Acumatica wants) are basically worse off than those loafing on older builds.

​@asnell64 You can find the upgrade paths on the page of the major release, in this instance 25 R1:

You can upgrade to Acumatica ERP 2025 R1 from older versions of Acumatica ERP. For a list of compatible upgrade scenarios see the table below:

For detailed instructions please see the Upgrade Notes section of the release notes for the version to which you are planning to upgrade.
