# What’s New in the Infor SunSystems Cloud October 2026 Release? *Source: https://trginternational.com/blog/infor-sunsystems-cloud-october-2026-release-highlights/* --- The [Infor SunSystems Cloud](https://trginternational.com/solutions/infor-sunsystems-cloud/) October 2026 release is just around the corner. Experts from the Infor SunSystems Cloud Business Unit just organised an enablement event for partners, announcing the key highlights to expect in this year’s upcoming major update of this venerable financial management solution. This article walks through the new changes, from smarter reporting and connected document management to a more extensive library of dashboards and more robust integration tools. > Read more: [What’s New in the Infor SunSystems Cloud April 2026 Release?](https://trginternational.com/blog/infor-sunsystems-cloud-april-2026-release/) ## **Improving the speed of reporting with Infor Query & Analysis (Q&A) enhancements** A large share of this release responds directly to feedback from consultants familiar with the nitty-gritty of [Infor Q&A](https://trginternational.com/solutions/infor-qa/): - **Filter Mapping:** Mapping and to separate cells, allowing referencing within both the summary detail and reference links. - **New Fields:** Inserting a new output field directly where users want instead of the bottom of the list. - **Internal Definition:** Internal definitions, previously only available in the older Q&A 10, are now supported in Q&A Cloud for both summary and detail reports. They are automatically saved and incremented within the report, so formatting and cell references survive even if a formula is later deleted. - **Breakout Formatting:** Run a breakout from a report using parenthesis formatting for negatives, and confirm the format carries into the output. - **Drill Path Manager:** Selecting a saved drill path in the Drill Path Manager and removing it with a visible delete button, removing a step that previously relied on an undocumented shortcut. - **Scheduled Parameters:** Report Scheduler now supports runtime parameters so that a single report can be scheduled to run multiple times against different values (e.g., different business units or account code ranges) rather than requiring a separate report per business unit. Output can be recalculated, refreshed against saved internal definitions, and delivered by email, saved file, or PDF. > Read more: [Scaling Your Business With Infor Sunsystems Cloud​](https://trginternational.com/blog/scaling-your-business-with-sunsystems-cloud/) ![Infor Q&A report: Changes to breakout report formatting](https://wpengine.trginternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/q-and-a-report-sunsystems-cloud-october-2026-release.png) _Image: Changes to Infor Q&A breakout report formatting (maintain the same format and standards across all report levels)._ ![Infor Q&A's scheduled reports and parameters](https://wpengine.trginternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/infor-qa-scheduled-report-parameters-1024x421.png) _Image: Parameter selection when scheduling reports_ ## **Integrating Infor Q&A with Infor Document Management (IDM)** One of the more significant additions in this release is a rebuilt integration between Q&A, SunSystems, and [Infor Document Management (IDM)](https://blog.trginternational.com/webinar-unlock-infor-os-benefits), built directly into the standard Q&A ribbon rather than as a separate add-on tool. This means: - No new permissions are needed; users continue to use their existing IDM-User role - Administrators map a business unit and journal key to a journal or ledger data set definition. Once mapped, documents sent through that definition are automatically tagged with the right metadata in IDM. - Once a data send generates a journal number, that number becomes a direct link back into SunSystems, so users can validate what was published. - Custom file naming on upload, so uploaded documents can follow your organisation’s own naming convention. - Multiple journal and document uploads in a single data send, which also returns multiple journal numbers and transaction types (from purchasing to ledger, sales, etc.). - On-demand publishing to IDM, so a workbook can be uploaded without posting to SunSystems. > On-demand Webinar: [Unlocking the Power of Infor OS – The Next Level for SunSystems](https://blog.trginternational.com/webinar-unlock-infor-os-benefits) In other words, users have more flexibility in how they manage documents. ![Infor Q&A and Infor Document Management integration](https://wpengine.trginternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/infor-idm-qa-sunsystems-1024x501.png) _Image: Infor Q&A now talks directly to IDM without any extra login_ ## **Expanding SunSystems Cloud dashboard widgets** Infor’s SunSystems-specific dashboard widgets continue to expand. In the upcoming October release, SunSystems Cloud’s catalogue will be added more CFO and Finance Director-level widgets, which can be configured by business unit, analysis dimension, and view (by period, year, or ledger analysis). > Read more: [How Infor SunSystems Hospitality Empowers Hotel Businesses](https://trginternational.com/blog/thrive-on-with-infor-sunsystems-for-hospitality/) These include Working Capital, Gross Profit Margin, Net Profit Margin, Return on Assets, Return on Equity, and Asset Turnover / Asset Turnover Rate, which can all be showcased on a single dashboard or selected to suit each user’s needs. ![Infor SunSystems Cloud widget dashboard](https://wpengine.trginternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/sunsystems-cloud-widget-dashboard-1024x508.png) _Image: A dashboard featuring all Infor SunSystems Cloud’s latest widgets_ Each widget can be added multiple times to a dashboard with different configurations. For example, users can create a dedicated AR/AP dashboard alongside a separate CFO dashboard, and each can drill back to the underlying transactions or data grid. ![CFO dashboard in Infor SunSystems Cloud](https://wpengine.trginternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/infor-sunsystems-cloud-cfo-dashboard-1024x518.png) _Image: Example of a CFO dashboard_ ## **SunSystems Cloud integration improvements** API-first and cloud integration have always been the key pillars of Infor’s strategy for SunSystems Cloud. The October 2026 release includes several targeted improvements: - **Workflow BODS:** Business unit and person ID are now proper attributes across Infor ION process workflows, eliminating workarounds (such as XSLT lookups or separate API calls) previously required to identify the correct business unit or user within a workflow. - **Payload API:** Now supports a configurable request timeout and a unique, trackable job ID, so stalled requests can be addressed more efficiently. - **Code lists, tax ID, rule data sets:** New reference-data endpoints cut the need for Data Fabric or Transfer Desk workarounds. - **Portal widgets API:** The new widget will come with its underlying API. - **New BODs:** Covering TaxAccounts, Contacts, and Payment Terms, enabling event-based and more timely data updates. - **EDM and BOD performance:** Faster, more reliable BOD publishing through updated push table logic, particularly for large multi-business-unit tenants. - **Asynchronous output location:** Business object and payload API results can now be written to an asynchronous storage location instead of requiring paged retrieval, easing bulk data extraction for larger data sets. As an [Infor Gold Channel Partner](https://trginternational.com/blog/sunsystems-cloud-channel-partner-conference-2026-awards/), we believe Infor is prioritising features with the highest impact on the end-users’ daily operations alongside the widgets, IDM integration, and reporting improvements that consultants and partners have specifically asked for. If you are an Infor SunSystems Cloud user and are wondering how these new updates will affect your financial management system as a whole and your team’s efficiency in particular, worry not, as we have a special event in store for you! The new release mentioned above will automatically roll out to all SunSystems Cloud users. As a result, understanding how to take full advantage of the incoming features can help position your team ahead of the curve. That is exactly the gap our upcoming webinar series is designed to close. **TRG’s own consultants are putting together a multi-part, multi-language webinar series walking YOU, SunSystems users, through exactly what these changes mean in practice, from the new IDM integration and CFO dashboard widgets to what your team should check first after the update lands.** **Register now for the “Inside SunSystems Cloud October 2026 Release” webinar series today and be among the first to be notified when the series is released.** [![](https://wpengine.trginternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/webinar-infor-sunsystems-cloud-october-2026-release-explained-1024x576.jpg)](https://share.hsforms.com/1kPncjLj5RV20vbJ5reFFUQ2p4h)
