Acumatica Modules List 2026: Complete Guide to All Modules

Acumatica Modules List 2026

Acumatica Cloud ERP is sold in industry editions rather than as à la carte modules: General Business, Distribution, Manufacturing, Construction, Retail-Commerce, and Field Service. Within each edition, sub-modules can be enabled. Pricing is resource-based (transaction volume, storage, data activity) rather than per-user — meaning the cost of adding modules is driven more by additional usage than additional license fees. This reference covers every functional area.

FAQs {#faqs}

How many modules does Acumatica have?

Acumatica is packaged into 6 industry editions, with ~15 functional module areas spread across them. Most customers license one edition (e.g. Manufacturing), then optionally add Field Service, Commerce, or Payroll.

Does Acumatica charge per user?

No. Acumatica's pricing model is resource-based — driven by transaction volume, data activity, and storage. This is a significant differentiator: organizations can give system access to everyone without paying per-seat. The tradeoff is that high-transaction-volume businesses pay more.

Which Acumatica edition is right for my business?

• Pure services / consulting → General Business.
• Wholesale or 3PL → Distribution.
• Discrete or process manufacturing → Manufacturing.
• General contracting or home building → Construction.
• Multi-channel retail → Retail-Commerce.
• Equipment service or installation → Field Service.

You can layer Field Service or Commerce on top of Distribution or Manufacturing.

Can I add modules after go-live?

Yes — Acumatica's resource-based pricing makes adding modules less disruptive than per-user vendors. Activation is typically same-day; new editions (e.g. moving from Distribution to Manufacturing) require a license amendment.

How does Acumatica's module model compare to NetSuite?

NetSuite charges per-module on top of per-user fees, which compounds quickly. Acumatica bundles most functionality into editions and prices by resource consumption. For mid-market businesses with 50+ users, Acumatica is often 30–50% cheaper than NetSuite at parity feature set.
