⚠️ Acumatica will deprecate the Classic UI feature with the 2026 R2 release.Customers who upgrade to 2026 R2, as well as new customers implementing 2026 R2, will no longer have the capability to turn off Modern UI. Acumatica will continue to support Classic UI in versions prior to 2026 R2 in accordance with our standard support policies.This is an important step forward in Acumatica's commitment to delivering a faster, more consistent, and more capable product experience. Modern UI is the foundation of our innovation — it enables us to ship higher-quality features more quickly, with a unified design that scales across devices and use cases. Maintaining two parallel UI codebases creates significant engineering overhead that, over time, slows down our ability to deliver the best possible product to our customers. By focusing fully on Modern UI, we can invest that effort where it matters most: building features and improvements that benefit everyone.Please read the Frequently Asked Questi

Starting November 17, 2026, Google will remove support for XSLT to prevent potential security risks on Chromium-based browsers (including Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge). This change will prevent Classic UI screens in Acumatica ERP from loading in these browsers. If your instance still relies on Classic UI, action is required before November 17, 2026. What is the impact?The severity of disruption depends on how much your instance relies on Classic UI. Any screen still running on Classic UI will stop loading in Chrome or Edge. If your team uses a mix of Modern and Classic UI, some workflows will be affected while others continue normally.NOTE (Updated July 2026): Acumatica has delivered a fix that allows Classic UI to continue loading on Chromium-based browsers after November 17, 2026, in the latest patches for 2025 R1 and later versions. SaaS customers on 2025 R1 or later will receive this patch automatically within the next two to three weeks. PCS customers on 2025 R1 or later need

AI coding agents can move quickly—but only when they have reliable product knowledge and instructions. The new Acumatica AI Resources repository gives AI coding agents structured, version-specific resources for working with Acumatica ERP. This also reflects an evolution in developer education: As AI becomes part of the development workflow, we need to make trusted Acumatica knowledge and guidance available not only to developers, but also to the AI tools working alongside them.Whether you're upgrading a customization, troubleshooting an integration, or building a Modern UI control, these resources can help your AI coding agent work from relevant Acumatica documentation and development guidance instead of relying only on its general knowledge.What You’ll Find in the RepositoryThe 2026R1 branch includes resources aligned with Acumatica ERP 2026 R1:Development skills for updating customization projects, diagnosing and modernizing integrations, and building Modern UI custom controls.
