Are your EPM integration SuiteApps ready for the next update?

Oracle now lists Profitability and Cost Management Sync 26.1 and EPM Connector 26.2.1 as released November 3, 2026. Earlier October readiness guidance carried a different Profitability Sync date. Check your account-specific push notice and test the required Connector version before installing the Sync SuiteApp.

EPM integrationsDependency readinessOracle sources disagree
Why it matters

An untested Connector/Sync combination or failed integration job can delay profitability reporting, finance data loads and reconciliation. Dated vendor release notes do not establish a customer outage.

First step

Check your installed Connector and Sync versions and Oracle's release notice for your account, then test one approved Profitability Sync flow before production.

Suggested owner

EPM integration and finance owners

Who should check?

Teams using NetSuite EPM Connector with Account Reconciliation, Planning and Budgeting, or Close Management and Consolidation, plus organizations considering the new Profitability and Cost Management Sync integration. This notice applies to those integrations, not to every NetSuite account.

Published milestones

  1. September 8, 2026 — EPM Connector 26.2The prior Connector version added integration dependencies; keep this as product history.
  2. October 20, 2026 — Account Reconciliation Sync 26.2Oracle product-specific release notes list row tracking and SFTP/Data Integration improvements; installed versions remain unverified.
  3. November 3, 2026 — Profitability Sync 26.1Oracle now explicitly describes the initial Profitability and Cost Management Sync version as released on this date; an older October readiness notice named October 20.
  4. November 3, 2026 — EPM Connector 26.2.1Oracle lists a Connector patch for log ordering and hidden filter visibility; confirm account-specific delivery and dependency compatibility.

Check your Oracle account notice before scheduling an update.

What to do next

  • Identify the Connector and Sync versions, affected EPM products, integration jobs and finance owners in the account; obtain the customer-specific Oracle production push notice.
  • In an authorized Sandbox or Release Preview, install or upgrade the latest EPM Connector first, then check required features, Administrator setup, integration-user permissions and the Profitability Sync version before installing it.
  • Test one approved data/metadata transfer and representative job, compare mapped balances and error/retry logs, and document the production rollout and recovery sequence with the finance owner.

What we’ll review

Installed Connector and Sync versions, applications used, Oracle account-specific push notices, job and SFTP dependencies, authorized Sandbox or Release Preview access, and a finance owner for result reconciliation. Do not send credentials or production exports.

Update history

  • 2026-10-18 — Published this guide using existing Oracle documentation.
  • 2026-10-20 — Updated conflicting Profitability Sync source dates and confirmed Account Reconciliation Sync 26.2 documentation. Original October 18 publication retained; actual customer rollout remains unverified.
  • 2026-11-05 — Material Ebenstead correction: Oracle now explicitly confirms November 3, 2026 as the Profitability Sync 26.1 and EPM Connector 26.2.1 vendor release milestones; the previously published October 20 wording remains historical, and customer rollout is still unverified.
