Project Resource Management Support Ends October 2026

NetSuite will end support for the Project Resource Management SuiteApp on October 27, 2026. Stop using and uninstall it before that date, after reviewing dependencies. Existing project task assignment and resource allocation data are unaffected by uninstalling. Evaluate Resource Allocation Chart/Grid and Project Task Manager against your business needs.

What Changes on October 27, 2026?

After October 27, 2026, Project Resource Management will no longer receive updates, issue fixes, or customer support. NetSuite directs customers with the SuiteApp installed to stop using it and uninstall it before the deadline—not simply leave it installed without support.

The uninstall assurance covers existing project task assignment and resource allocation data. Retaining that data and replacing the tools people use are separate planning concerns: the assurance does not establish that dependent customizations or business processes will continue unchanged.

What Should You Review Before Uninstalling?

Review dependencies before removing Project Resource Management. NetSuite identifies the following areas; the suggested checks are a practical review checklist, not confirmed dependencies in every account.

Data retention does not replace dependency review. NetSuite states that uninstalling does not affect existing project task assignment or resource allocation data. It does not extend that assurance to every customization or dependent process.

Assign an owner to each identified dependency and record how it will be validated after removal. Include resource managers in that review so that technical checks also account for how users schedule work. The related overview of consultant project management features can help frame that discussion.

Which Alternative SuiteApp Fits Your Work?

NetSuite identifies Resource Allocation Chart/Grid and Project Task Manager as alternatives to evaluate. The announcement does not promise complete feature equivalence or an automatic migration procedure. Compare their documented capabilities with your team's allocation and staffing activities before choosing a replacement.

Resource Allocation Chart/Grid: Visual Allocation Management

Resource Allocation Chart/Grid provides a visual tool for viewing, creating, and editing resource allocations. Users can choose a chart or grid view. Evaluate it when the requirement is to work directly with allocations through those visual formats.

Before installation, confirm that the Administrator and Resource Manager roles are active at Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles. Then open Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features and verify these prerequisites:

The ability to track time in NetSuite is also required. Include this in readiness checks rather than treating the Resource Allocations feature alone as sufficient.

To install:

1. Go to Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features.
2. Under Resource Management, check Resource Allocations if it is not already enabled.
3. Under Related SuiteApps, click Resource Allocation Chart.
4. On the SuiteApp Details page, click Install.

Add access for all relevant roles. Users may be unable to access Resource Allocation Chart/Grid pages without that role access. Include role-based access testing in rollout checks rather than treating a successful installation as proof that every intended user can open the pages.

Project Task Manager: Visual Task Staffing

Project Task Manager displays project resources and tasks together. Staffing managers receive a real-time view of resources and assigned tasks, allowing them to identify staffing issues and address them directly in the interface.

Its documented capabilities include:

• Identifying understaffed or overstaffed tasks.
• Rescheduling tasks for overbooked resources by dragging and dropping tasks into other time slots, or assigning them to other resources.
• Adjusting project task details by resizing the task bar or editing the Task Assignment Detail popup.

Project Task Manager extends the Project Management feature, which must be enabled. It is also a shared SuiteApp: your account needs access before installation. Contact your account manager for access information.

Install it from Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features. On the Company subtab, find the Project section, click Project Task Manager under Related SuiteApps, and click Install.

Project Task Manager is managed and updates automatically when changes are available. Issue fixes and enhancements become available as soon as the SuiteApp updates in your account. Account for that update behavior when planning ongoing validation of staffing processes.

Who This Affects

• Administrators: Coordinate removal, prerequisite checks, installation, and role-access testing.
• Developers and integration owners: Review custom records, scripts, workflows, saved searches, reports, and integrations before uninstalling.
• Resource and staffing managers: Compare allocation-editing needs with task-staffing needs and validate proposed replacement workflows.
• Project managers: Include day-to-day task-assignment work in transition checks. Review the Project Manager role and its access scope when planning user acceptance checks.

Key Takeaways

• Stop using and uninstall Project Resource Management before October 27, 2026.
• After that date, the SuiteApp will no longer receive updates, issue fixes, or customer support.
• Review dependencies even though uninstalling does not affect existing project task assignment or resource allocation data.
• Evaluate Resource Allocation Chart/Grid and Project Task Manager against actual business requirements; do not assume feature equivalence.
• Check each alternative's prerequisites, including Chart/Grid role access and Project Task Manager shared-SuiteApp access.
