What changed in NetSuite 2026.2?
Starting in NetSuite 2026.2, the AI Connector Service Companion SuiteApp includes categorized prompt samples. The categories are intended to help users engage with AI clients across different business functions and industries.
The practical value is a workflow-oriented starting point. A user who needs a period narrative, purchase-order monitoring support, or an analysis of customizations can begin with a sample associated with that type of work rather than treating every request as the same kind of prompt.
The samples are references, not fixed instructions. NetSuite states that users can copy and adapt them for specific needs. That makes the release relevant to teams that want a common starting point while still needing wording that reflects their own terminology, audience, and review practices.
This release affects administrators, developers, and accounting professionals. Administrators are responsible for maintaining and updating the use of AI prompts. Developers can use prompts in AI-client integration work, while accounting professionals can use the financial and reporting-oriented examples.

Which NetSuite AI Connector Service prompt categories are included?
NetSuite 2026.2 includes seven prompt categories. Together, they cover finance, presentation-oriented output, customer and vendor processes, item setup, accounting entries, and system administration.
| Prompt category | Workflows covered |
|---|---|
| Financial Prompts | Period narratives, margin analysis, budget variance flags, accounts receivable (AR), and accounts payable (AP) insights |
| Visualization Prompts | Dashboard-style HTML representations or charts, along with scenario summaries |
| Order to Cash (Customer Management) Prompts | Customer creation, sales orders, invoices, and customer statements |
| Procure to Pay (Vendor Management) Prompts | Vendor setup, purchase order (PO) monitoring, and payment processes |
| Item Configuration Prompts | Item creation, updates, and setup for revenue and billing schedules |
| Record to Report Prompts | Journal entries and intercompany journals |
| System Administration Prompts | Analyzing customizations and making adjustments based on system recommendations |
The table is also useful for deciding who should review an adapted prompt. For example, finance teams may focus on Financial and Record to Report samples, while administrators can retain ownership of System Administration samples. Ownership assignments are organization-specific, but assigning a reviewer by category can make maintained prompt collections easier to manage.
How to adapt the sample prompts for AI clients
The release information does not prescribe one customization procedure. It does, however, establish that the samples can be copied and adapted for specific needs. A controlled approach can help teams preserve the purpose of the selected category while making the prompt useful for their own work.
- Choose a category that matches the business outcome. Start with the work being performed: customer statements, PO monitoring, journal entries, margin analysis, or customization analysis.
- Copy the relevant sample. Keeping the original sample distinct from the adapted version helps reviewers understand the starting point.
- Add organization-specific context. Specify the terminology, intended audience, scope, and expected output that matter to the team using the prompt.
- Keep the expected output aligned with the category. A period narrative, a budget-variance flag, a chart, and a scenario summary have different purposes. The adapted wording should preserve that distinction.
- Review and maintain approved versions. Since administrators are responsible for maintaining and updating prompt use, a clear owner can review updates as business processes change.
Localization is another consideration for multinational teams. The 2026-08-17 update indicates localization support for prompts in 23 languages. Teams using localized prompts can still maintain shared definitions for the business outcomes they want the AI client to address.
What do Financial and Visualization prompts cover?
Financial Prompts
Financial Prompts cover period narratives, margin analysis, budget variance flags, AR insights, and AP insights. These samples give accounting professionals reference points for financial and reporting-oriented requests.
The listed purposes should remain distinct when samples are adapted. A prompt intended for a period narrative has a different outcome from one focused on margin analysis or budget variance flags. Likewise, AR and AP insight requests can be maintained as separate examples where teams need different language or review expectations.
Separating prompts by outcome can make a maintained library easier to use. It helps accounting users select a sample that matches the work at hand and helps administrators review changes without treating all financial requests as interchangeable.
Visualization Prompts
Visualization Prompts offer dashboard-style HTML representations or charts, along with scenario summaries. In this category, the requested representation is part of the sample’s stated purpose.
When adapting a visualization sample, teams can clarify the intended audience and the decision the output should support. A chart and a scenario summary are different forms of presentation, so the adapted prompt should identify which form is appropriate for the request.
The visualization category concerns how information is represented or summarized. It can be maintained separately from the Financial, Order to Cash, Procure to Pay, and other workflow categories that identify the underlying business topic.
Which customer and vendor workflows are covered?
Order to Cash (Customer Management) Prompts
Order to Cash prompts focus on customer creation, sales orders, invoices, and customer statements. These samples cover key customer-management workflow areas.
Teams can maintain separate adaptations for each area instead of relying on one broad customer-management prompt. A customer-creation request, an invoice-related request, and a customer-statement request have different purposes, even though they sit in the same category. Keeping that purpose visible helps users choose an appropriate starting sample.
Procure to Pay (Vendor Management) Prompts
Procure to Pay prompts include vendor setup, PO monitoring, and payment processes. The category gives vendor-management and accounting users samples aligned with different parts of the vendor workflow.
Vendor setup, purchase-order monitoring, and payment processes can also be maintained as separate adapted examples. This approach lets teams apply category-level consistency without obscuring the particular purpose of each sample.

How do Item Configuration and Record to Report prompts differ?
Item Configuration Prompts
Item Configuration Prompts cover item creation, item updates, and setup for revenue and billing schedules. They are intended for configuration-oriented work.
An adapted item prompt can make clear whether it concerns creating an item, updating an item, or setting up revenue and billing schedules. Retaining those distinctions helps users select an example with the right stated purpose.
Record to Report Prompts
Record to Report Prompts provide structured examples for journal entries and intercompany journals. These are distinct from the narrative, margin-analysis, and variance-flag examples listed under Financial Prompts.
For accounting teams, that boundary provides a simple selection rule: use Financial Prompts for the financial insight and narrative topics listed in that category, and use Record to Report prompts for journal-entry and intercompany-journal work. Separate approved adaptations can preserve that distinction.
What can System Administration prompts help analyze?
System Administration Prompts support administrators in analyzing customizations and making adjustments based on system recommendations. This category is directly oriented toward account-administration work.
Administrators can adapt these samples by identifying the customizations or recommendation-focused analysis relevant to the request. They can also specify the format that will make the response easier to review.
The category provides a structured starting point, while the adapted prompt supplies the organization-specific context. Maintaining the adapted prompt and its designated reviewer can help keep administrative use organized as prompts evolve.
