Developer Documentation: Simplify Updating of Customization Projects with AI Tools

Do you have a customization project that works properly in MYOB Acumatica 2025 R1 and need to upgrade the application instance where it’s published to 2025.2.1? Before the upgrade, you need to validate the customization project with the newer version and fix any validation errors that occur.

With MYOB Acumatica 2025.2.1, you can use an AI tool to speed up and simplify error resolution.

Using an AI Tool in Visual Studio

To update your customization project with the help of an AI tool, perform these general steps:

  1. Review the developer release notes to understand the changes in the new version.
  2. Open your customization project’s extension library in Visual Studio.
  3. Open a file with the MYOB Acumatica-specific code, such as a graph or DAC extension.
  4. Launch a chat with your AI tool, such as GitHub Copilot.
  5. Write a prompt, such as Use this context to update this class to MYOB Acumatica 2025.2.1. Then copy and paste the Markdown version of the developer release notes from the Acumatica Community website into the chat.
  6. Wait for the AI agent to process the context.
  7. Carefully review the provided recommendations and apply valid ones. Double-check them with the developer release notes if you aren’t sure about the changes.
  8. Use the same context for other files in the project of your extension library.
