Below is a breakdown of the key 2025 R1 enhancements that matter most for construction firms.
A Modern Interface to Improve Daily Work
Acumatica 2025 R1 introduces a modernized user interface designed to make the system easier to use and navigate. The updated interface includes a fresh design, faster performance, and personalized settings that let users tailor screens and workflows to their role and tasks. Users can drag and drop fields, rearrange tabs, and hide elements that are not needed. These improvements help users locate data faster and reduce time spent navigating the system. Accordant Company
A responsive layout adapts to any device, so both office and field teams can work with the same system seamlessly.
AI-Powered Recognition of Project Documents
In previous versions, project-related accounts payable (AP) documents often required manual entry when received by email. Acumatica 2025 R1 extends AP document recognition to project-related documents so that bills and invoices can be automatically associated with project budget keys or purchase orders. This enhancement reduces manual data entry and improves accuracy for project accounting workflows. Accordant Company
Project and Construction Enhancements
The 2025 R1 release includes several updates designed to support key construction processes:
AIA Reporting With Time and Materials
In the Construction Edition, AIA reporting now supports time and material lines for pro forma invoices along with traditional progress billing lines. This gives contractors greater flexibility in how they reflect work performed and bill clients. Accordant Company
Cost Projection by Date
New cost projection tools enable construction teams to generate cost projections for specific dates, analyze project margins, and identify overbilling or underbilling situations. This feature gives project managers and financial teams a clearer view of how costs are trending at various stages of a job. Accordant Company
Improved Reporting for AR, AP, and Construction
Several accounts receivable, accounts payable, and construction reports have been enhanced. Reports such as Construction Bonding and Subcontract Audit now offer improved layouts and usability, making it easier for users to generate and interpret key project and financial information.
