Acumatica LiveSync

posted on April 8, 2026 by | No comments

A new Visual Studio extension addresses the most annoying thing about Acumatica development. Acumatica LiveSync promises to compile “code instantly upon saving, removing the need for full site restarts for every small change.” The link describes how it works and has the download button. It’s also available in Visual Studio’s Extension Manager. Just browse for “Acumatica” and you’ll see it. In the Acumatica Dev Community Discord there’s skepticism about how useful it will be and listing some items that must... Continue reading →

AcumaticaConfig Values

posted on November 24, 2020 by | No comments

After moving Acumatica web site files to a new location on a development workstation and changing the properties in the Internet Information Server (IIS) Manager, the Acumatica ERP Configuration Wizard still shows the old file location in Application Maintenance. The wizard reads the value from the registry key:HKLM\Sofware\Acumarica ERP\Be sure to launch the Registry Editor as an administrator if you want to change it. The database value comes from the web.config file’s connectionStrings element. The wizard reads that file from... Continue reading →

Acumatica Portal Customization – Getting Started

posted on May 14, 2019 by | 1 Comment

Mike Gifford of Crestwood Associates has written a fine article on customizing the Acumatica Portal. I have one small modification when working with a demo portal with version 2018 R2. Under the Site Map (not the Portal Map), the Customization Project Browser appears as a folder that contains other folders and pages as children. This node is missing when the portal is first installed. As Mike notes, it needs to be added with a SQL Script. Without this node, you... Continue reading →

Auto-copy rebuilt DLL to Acumatica bin folder

posted on November 26, 2018 by | No comments

After moving an Acumatica Visual Studio solution to a new computer the dll was not automatically copied to the bin folder after rebuilding like it had been on the old machine. Yuriy Zaletskyy’s post provided an illustrated solution, reminding me to add a reference from the web site’s bin folder to the VS project that builds the dll. This is one of those “note to self” posts.

Error after Upgrading a Customized Instance of Acumatica

posted on May 2, 2016 by | No comments

After an upgrade to an instance of Acumatica customized by three different companies, I saw the following error message when I went to update a customization. “Some files has been modified manually by the user on the file system.” [sic]. The files were actually modified by the upgrade, not by the user, so the message is a bit misleading. I resolved this issue by clicking Unpublish All. After that process finished and customizations were unpublished, I published again and did... Continue reading →

Acumatica AddPurchaseOrderLine Tip

posted on April 10, 2016 by | No comments

I couldn’t find this tip in the Acumatica Web Services T210 (v.4.2) or I210 (v5.3) training material so I thought I’d create a post about it. Ruslan Devyatko in Acumatica Support provided this to me. I used it successfully with Acumatica version 5.1. When creating a new Purchase Receipt using the Acumatica Screen-Based Web Services from an existing Purchase Order it’s necessary to “click” a button to get the Add Purchase Order Line dialog to pop-up. That’s documented in the I210 training,... Continue reading →
