Acumatica’s latest product release, 2025 R1, has hundreds of great new updates that address what our customers have been requesting and provide innovative features built to drive performance, resiliency, and growth for small and midsized businesses.

When we made the release generally available on March 20, we outlined these new features, and, in the first of our 2025 R1 blog series, we shared how they deliver advanced usability for optimal productivity. Our most recent blog covered the industry-focused 2025 R1 features designed to enhance your competitive advantage.

Our previous release, Acumatica 2024 R2, made available on October 2, 2024, represented a milestone in product innovations and ERP modernization. Significant among the 2024 R2 features were advances made in AI capabilities that have laid the foundation for future releases.

2024 R1 delivered an AI engine and integration with general inquiry functionality, so users can leverage AI to identify exceptions or anomalies in transaction reviews—bringing a new level of insight into data management.

2025 R1 is the next step in our AI journey. Its advancements and enhancements are guided by our commitment to delivering practical AI that works for you.

AI That Works for You

AI is an incredibly powerful tool, but, like any tool, it’s not about what it can do. It’s about what you can do with it. Acumatica takes an AI-first approach to innovation. Rather than simply adding AI capabilities to existing features, we look at the critical challenges facing our customers and determine how AI can help solve those problems from the ground up. Instead of imposing AI on you through abstract functionalities, we’re seamlessly introducing it for practical use in your workflows, your teams, and your industry solutions, so you can evolve the way work gets done. This goal has guided our approach to developing Acumatica 2025 R1.

The new release offers AI-driven features that enhance automation, data processing, and decision-making. These updates will help businesses identify irregularities, optimize processes, and reduce manual intervention.

With Acumatica AI Studio, 2025 R1 delivers powerful AI-driven capabilities through  Insights and Automation.

Insights: Anomaly Detection

2025 R1 enhances Anomaly Detection and Accounts Payable (AP) Document Recognition to, respectively, improve data accuracy and streamline financial workflows. These innovations empower users to leverage AI without extensive technical expertise, ensuring they can drive efficiency and make informed decisions. Additionally, built-in security measures protect sensitive information, ensuring AI-powered operations remain compliant and safe. These advancements position Acumatica Cloud ERP as a secure tool that empowers users with actionable insights and predictive analytics.

Insights: AI Assistant Recognition of Project-Related Documents

This enhanced feature allows users to select project-related data for bills not linked to commitments. It automatically associates purchase orders or subcontracts with AP bill lines and populates the project budget key. Users can also manually link items if no match is found, improving the efficiency of handling project-related bills.

Automation

2025 R1 moves a step further in delivering AI-driven automation capabilities that will streamline workflows, allowing businesses to operate faster and more accurately without requiring deep technical expertise.
