With the release of MYOB Acumatica 2025.1, users are greeted with a sleek new Modern User Interface (UI) — a fresh, responsive design that makes everyday tasks faster, cleaner, and more intuitive.
This major interface upgrade isn’t just about looks. The new Modern UI introduces smarter layouts, improved performance, and greater flexibility for how users interact with forms, tables, and data across desktop and mobile devices.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s new.
A Modern Look and Feel
The new interface delivers:
-
A cleaner, more modern design that highlights key information at a glance.
-
Faster page loads and smoother navigation.
-
Personalisation options, so you can tailor screens and layouts to your workflows.
-
A fully responsive layout that adapts seamlessly to your device — whether you’re on a large monitor, tablet, or mobile.
These improvements make MYOB Acumatica more accessible and efficient, particularly for users who are increasingly working on the go.
Responsive Layouts for Any Device
In the past, the Classic UI used fixed layouts that could appear distorted on smaller screens. The Modern UI changes that with flexible, adaptive layouts that automatically adjust fields and tables to fit the screen.
Whether you’re entering data from a tablet on-site or approving transactions from your phone, your forms now look clean and professional — every time.
Smarter Form Design
1. Simplified Menus
The old Customization and Tools menus have now been combined into a single Settings menu on the form title bar. This consolidation makes it easier to find the right tools quickly, without unnecessary clicks.
2. Grouped Fieldsets
Related fields are now visually grouped with soft colour blocks, improving readability and helping users locate key information instantly.
3. Linked Data Elements
Previously, fields with lookup buttons (the magnifier icon 🔍) required clicking an Edit button to view details. In the Modern UI, these values now appear as clickable links, letting you open related records directly.
Clearer Error and Information Messaging
The way MYOB Acumatica communicates system feedback has been reimagined:
-
Errors, warnings, and messages now appear in the top-right corner of the form — replacing the older browser pop-ups.
-
Informational messages are now colour-highlighted for greater visibility.
-
Table errors and warnings not only display icons beside affected cells but also highlight the entire row, so you can spot and fix issues faster.
These updates improve clarity and reduce the friction of troubleshooting data entry errors.
Better Handling of Numeric Data
In the Classic UI, long numeric values were simply truncated to fit within narrow columns. The Modern UI introduces a subtle but powerful change — when a number doesn’t fit, it now displays “###” characters, signalling hidden data. Hovering over the cell reveals the full value via tooltip, making it easier to spot and correct data display issues.
A Single, Simplified View of Data
Where the Classic UI allowed users to toggle between Grid View and Form View, the Modern UI unifies these into a single, streamlined table view. Data entry and review are now done in one place, simplifying navigation and reducing screen clutter.
Improved Table Filters
Filtering data in tables is now faster and more intuitive. The enhanced filter controls in the Modern UI make it easier to search, narrow down results, and focus on what matters — without losing visibility of your broader dataset. For more information visit Modern UI: Filters
Updated Multiline Text Boxes
In the Modern UI, pressing Enter now moves the cursor to the next field, streamlining data entry workflows. To add a new line within a text box, simply press Ctrl + Enter.
This minor change may take a moment to get used to — but it aligns Acumatica with modern web standards and improves consistency across forms.
Why the Modern UI Matters
The introduction of the Modern UI in MYOB Acumatica 2025.1 is more than a visual refresh — it’s a foundation for the future. Faster performance, mobile responsiveness, and a more user-friendly interface are all part of MYOB’s ongoing investment in improving user experience for New Zealand businesses.
