Automation for Acumatica Customization Validation – Sprinterra Smooth Upgrade Tools

Acumatica Customization

Upgrading an ERP system is never a simple process, especially when it involves customizations. Each customization introduces complexity, and without proper validation, it can increase costs, extend timelines, or even cause system instability. At Sprinterra, we’ve developed an Automation Tool for Customization Validation to address this challenge head-on.

Why Customization Validation Matters

Customizations are one of the biggest strengths of Acumatica ERP, but they can also pose risks when upgrading to newer versions. Compatibility issues, configuration gaps, or non-standard code can lead to downtime and costly rework. Traditional manual validation is slow, inconsistent, and resource-intensive.

That’s where our automation tool makes the difference.

How the Automation Tool Works

Best Real Estate Development Software – Key Components

The tool automatically analyzes customization packages and generates a detailed Customization Assessment Report. This report evaluates each package across multiple dimensions, including:

  • Complexity scoring – Classifying customizations from XS (minimal) to XL (extra-large), depending on the number of elements and interdependencies.

  • Element breakdown – Counting and categorizing all customization components, such as screens, DACs, reports, dashboards, user-defined fields, workflows, and integrations.

  • Upgrade readiness – Highlighting potential risks around mobile compatibility, database scripts, and interactions between custom and standard Acumatica logic.

  • Technical validation – Checking against Acumatica’s strict requirements, such as secure coding practices, adherence to naming conventions, and ensuring no disallowed file types or system file replacements are included .

For example, the tool can instantly detect issues like missing namespaces in code, SQL scripts that don’t follow standards, or configuration items that could break in the next version of Acumatica. This proactive validation helps prevent upgrade surprises before they occur.

How Sprinterra Uses the Tool

At Sprinterra, this automation tool is fully integrated into our development and upgrade lifecycle. Whenever we build or review a customization, it goes through the validation process to ensure it meets Acumatica standards.

During upgrades, the tool allows our team to:

  • Quickly estimate the scope and cost of upgrade work by using the scoring system.

  • Identify customization complexity, potential issues and incompatibilities.

  • Provide clients with clear visibility into their upgrade risks and remediation needs.

  • Streamline testing and reduce the time spent troubleshooting by focusing on flagged areas.

The result: faster, more reliable development process and upgrades with minimized risk for our clients.

Beyond Internal Use: A Service for Our Clients

While we rely on this tool internally, we also make it available to our clients as part of our Always Current upgrade service. Always Current is Sprinterra’s comprehensive upgrade program, designed to keep clients consistently on the latest Acumatica version without disruption.

For organizations not ready to commit to a full upgrade program, we also offer the Customization Validation Tool as a standalone service. This provides a clear assessment of current customizations, highlights potential risks, and helps plan for future upgrades with confidence.
