NetSuite SOAP Web Services Deprecation: What the 2026.1 Change Means for You

Source: Oracle Community Policy Update

The Policy Shift

Oracle NetSuite is changing its integration policy: starting with release 2026.1, no new SOAP Web Services endpoints will be included by default.

• SOAP endpoints will only be released when there is a business or technical necessity.

• Each SOAP endpoint is supported for three years from its release date.

• With each new release, the oldest supported SOAP endpoint is retired automatically.

The 2025.2 endpoint will be the last regularly scheduled SOAP release. After that, support is conditional and time-limited.

Why This Matters

If your systems rely on SOAP Web Services — for ERP synchronizations, invoice flows, or integrations with legacy tools — your integrations are now on a timeline: three years, then end-of-life.

Once an endpoint reaches its expiration date, it will stop receiving updates, security support, and eventually fail. This is a defined lifecycle, not a hypothetical risk.

What Oracle Recommends

• Upgrade to the 2025.2 SOAP endpoint as soon as it becomes available. This gives you support until at least 2028.2.

• Migrate to REST Web Services using OAuth 2.0 authentication. This is now the preferred and future-proof integration method within NetSuite.

What Teknuro + Celigo Deliver

You don’t just need a migration. You need a controlled, zero-disruption transition.

Here’s how Teknuro manages that process:

1. Audit your current SOAP integrations — identify what’s in use, what’s outdated, and what’s at risk.

2. Prioritize based on system criticality, exposure, and support timelines.

3. Upgrade to the 2025.2 endpoint early to secure maximum support time.

4. Redesign your integrations using REST:

   • We map SOAP payloads to equivalent REST structures.

   • We implement secure, standards-compliant OAuth 2.0 flows.

5. Automate everything via Celigo:

   • Using prebuilt connectors, reusable logic, and error handling.

   • Proactive monitoring, retries, and logging come standard.

6. Run both SOAP and REST in parallel when needed:

   • Validate that both systems work during the cutover phase.

   • Fully decommission SOAP once REST is stable and live.

Transition Timeline

• Now – 2025.2: Identify all SOAP endpoints and prepare for migration.

• Upon 2025.2 release: Upgrade immediately to gain full support through 2028.

• 2025.2 – 2028.2: Continue operating under the final SOAP support cycle.

• Ongoing: Migrate to REST and de-risk your architecture.

Don’t Wait for Failure

Delaying this transition means risking silent outages: an invoice that doesn’t send, a customer sync that breaks, or an order that never reaches fulfillment.

This is not a routine patch. It’s a forced upgrade — and you need a plan.

Let Teknuro handle the complexity.

• Schedule a discovery call to audit your current SOAP footprint.

• Receive a tailored migration roadmap with clear timelines, risk planning, and architecture.

• We implement and automate the transition using Celigo — with zero disruption and full visibility.
