NetSuite for Government Version 26.2.2 – Release Date February 22, 2026

Finance:

  • Government Budget Request:
    • Overview:

    This release delivers an updated Government Budget Request Form designed to support departments in preparing next fiscal year budget requests in a structured, auditable, and workflow-enabled format. The form remains a stand-alone budgeting entry and review tool, with improvements to usability, reporting visibility, and downstream budget planning integration.

    • Key Capabilities:
      • Stand-alone Department Budget Entry.
      • Departments can create and maintain their budget request independently from agency-wide budget processing, enabling early entry and iterative refinement.
    • Flexible Data Entry Options:
      • Budget requests can be initiated in either of the following ways:
        • Spreadsheet import to seed budget lines quickly, or Manual entry for departments keying in lines directly on the form.
    • Enhanced Line-Level Budget Context:
      • Each budget request line provides visibility into comparative financial context, including:
        • Current Budget
        • Current Actuals
        • Previous Year Budget
        • Previous Year Actuals
    • Grand Totals and Roll-ups:
      • The form calculates grand totals across entered budget lines to help departments validate completeness and support review discussions.
    • Workflow, Approvals, and Status Tracking:
      • The request supports a structured workflow process with tracking to monitor:
        • Approval routing and decision points
        • Progress and status across budget development stages
        • Accountability and auditability across contributors and reviewers
    • Integration with Agency-Wide Budget Planning:
      • Once department budgets are entered and reviewed, data can be:
        • Exported into agency-wide budgeting/planning spreadsheets for further processing, and/or prepared for import back into Government Budget as part of consolidation and final budget development.
    • Who is Impacted?
      • Department budget preparers.
      • Budget office reviewers/approvers.
      • Agencies using spreadsheet-based planning workflows in parallel with Government Budget.
  • Performance Improvements:
    • Populate Line Values on Save:
    • This release introduces two new configuration options that improve transaction form performance by moving certain line-level field population from the client-side page loading event to a server-side event during Save.
      • Populate Line Available Budget on Save:
        • Configuration Location: NS4G System Setup > Budget Validation subtab
        • What’s New?
          When enabled, the population of Available Budget line values—previously calculated during the client script page loading is now performed by a server-side script during save.
          • Benefit:
            • Faster form load and improved responsiveness (reduced page load processing on transactions with budget validation line population).
          • Applies to:
            • Any transaction type where Available Budget line population previously occurred during page loading.
      • Populate Line PO# on Save:
        • Configuration Location: NS4G System Setup > Purchasing subtab.
        • What’s new?
          When enabled, the population of PO# line values—previously calculated during the client script page loading is now performed by a server-side script during save.
          • Benefit:
            • Faster initial page load for Vendor Bill entry (reduced client-side work during page loading).
          • Applies to:
            • Vendor Bills created via the Purchase Order Bill button.

Note:

These settings change when values are populated (on Save rather than on page load). Users may not see updated values populated until the record is saved (and then viewed/edited again, depending on form behavior). Recommended for environments experiencing slower transaction load times due to these line population routines.
