Additionally, SuiteScript’s Generative AI API has been expanded with new methods in the N/llm module, enabling developers to leverage AI-driven automation and decision-making capabilities. These updates will help businesses streamline data analysis, improve workflow automation, and enhance customer insights.

For businesses relying on robust inventory management, NetSuite release 2025.1 introduces several Warehouse Management Enhancements. These include:

• Pick Task Decomposition – Optimizing wave-based picking for better efficiency by breaking down large picking tasks into smaller, manageable ones.
• New Replenishment via Cart Process – Allowing batch movement of inventory, reducing manual workload and improving stock accuracy.
• Partial Pick Reversal – Enabling adjustments on a per-task basis to correct picking errors efficiently.
• Unit Conversion Display – Improving accuracy in inventory tracking by showing conversion rates for multiple units of measure.

Additionally, Supply Planning sees significant upgrades, including scoped planning repository refresh, which allows businesses to update only relevant supply planning data instead of the entire repository, improving processing speed. The Supplier Filter on the Supply Planning Workbench now makes it easier to track orders assigned to specific suppliers, enhancing vendor management.

Subscription-based businesses will benefit from the new Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) Analytics Dashboard, which adds depth to financial forecasting. Other improvements include:

• Invoice and Allocate Before Activation – Businesses can now invoice and allocate revenue for services before they officially start, improving cash flow management.
• Pooled Usage Pricing – Enabling businesses to charge customers monthly while maintaining annual pricing models, creating flexible billing structures.
• Higher Decimal Precision for Uplift – More precise calculations for price increases, ensuring accurate financial forecasting and reporting.

For developers and administrators, the SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) introduces new custom objects for prompts and Text Enhance actions. Meanwhile, SuiteScript sees significant changes, including:

• Removal of the Ext JS Library – NetSuite is phasing out the outdated Ext JS library to encourage migration to modern frameworks.
• Updated Audience Settings for Scripts and SPAs – New controls improve role-based access, making it easier to manage script permissions.
• Secure Credential Storage for SuiteCloud SDK – Enhancing security in development environments by using encrypted credential storage mechanisms.

NetSuite is strengthening its security framework with several key changes:

• End of SuiteSignOn (SSO) Support – Businesses must transition to NetSuite as an OIDC Provider to maintain secure authentication.
• End of Support for RSA PKCSv1.5 (OAuth 2.0) – Companies using OAuth 2.0 must migrate to the RSA-PSS scheme to ensure continued authentication compatibility.

These changes align with industry standards to improve security and reduce vulnerabilities.

SuiteCommerce solutions are slated for a future update, but enhancements to SuiteCommerce InStore (SCIS) are already live, improving background processing and reliability. Additionally, the Redwood Experience Theme sees refinements, offering a cleaner, more modern user interface with improved navigation.

NetSuite release 2025.1 will be rolling out in phases between February and April 2025. Customers can check their specific upgrade date in the New Release Portlet on their NetSuite dashboard.
