1C update in Almaty — standard and customized configurations

1C Company regularly releases configuration updates for Kazakhstan: new reporting forms, changes to ESF and SNT, requirements of the 2026 Tax Code of Kazakhstan. If the database is not updated, reports are filed on outdated forms, and skipped releases later have to be installed in a chain. We update standard and customized configurations and the platform, with a backup before and a check after.

Why updates get postponed, and how it ends

  • The last update broke a customization, and now people are afraid to touch the database.
  • Several releases were skipped: they have to be installed in a chain, one after another.
  • The configuration has been taken off vendor support, and automatic updates do not work.
  • The new release requires a newer platform, and nobody has updated it.
  • Reports under the 2026 Tax Code of Kazakhstan are filed from a database where forms and rates have not been updated.

What it does

  • Update of standard configurations for Kazakhstan: Accounting, Trade Management, Retail, UNF, ZUP, Integrated Automation, ERP.
  • Update of customized configurations through comparison and merging: customizations are kept.
  • Update of the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform to the version required by the new release.
  • A database backup before every update.
  • Check of extensions, exchanges and print forms after the update.
  • Moving customizations from the configuration into extensions so that future updates go more easily.
  • Check of settings for the 2026 Tax Code of Kazakhstan: the 16% VAT rate, tax reporting forms.
  • One-time on request or regularly under a 1C:ITS contract.

How it works5 steps

  1. We check the database

    We look at the current release, platform version, vendor support status and customizations, and determine the update path.

  2. We make a backup

    Before the update we export a copy of the database. If something goes wrong, we return to it.

  3. We update

    We install releases in a chain and update the platform if needed. A customized configuration is updated through comparison and merging, keeping the changes.

  4. We check

    We check customizations, extensions, exchanges, print forms and key operations: document posting, reports, ESF.

  5. We explain what has changed

    We explain what is new in the version and what the accounting department should pay attention to.

Who it is for

Frequently asked questions8

How much does a 1C update cost?

A one-time update is priced by scope: how many releases were skipped, whether a new platform is needed, whether there are customizations. We state the cost before work starts. If you update regularly, a 1C:ITS PROF contract is more convenient: 169 000 ₸ for 12 months and 138 600 ₸ for a renewal without a break, at 1C Company's recommended prices. We will quote scheduled updates on request.

How often should 1C be updated?

Releases for Kazakhstan come out regularly, especially when legislation and reporting forms change. It is better to install them as they come out, not once a year: the more you skip, the longer the chain and the higher the risk of errors.

Will we lose data during the update?

Before the update we make a backup of the database. If something does not work right after the update, the database can be returned to its state before the update. After the update we check key operations.

We have a customized configuration. Will you update it?

Yes. We compare the customizations with the new release and merge them so that the changes are kept. If there are many customizations and they get in the way of every update, we propose moving them into extensions: a 1C programmer does this, and further updates go more easily.

1C says a new platform version is needed. What should we do?

New configuration releases require a certain minimum version of the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform. We update the platform on all computers and on the server where 1C runs, otherwise the updated database will not open.

What changes in 1C with the new 2026 Tax Code?

The new Tax Code of Kazakhstan has been in effect since 1 January 2026, including the 16% VAT rate. Changes in accounting and reporting come to 1C with configuration releases. After the update we check that the tax settings and reporting forms match the new rules.

Do you update remotely or come on site?

Usually remotely: we agree on a time that does not disrupt the accounting department's work. In Almaty we come to the office if needed. Clients from other cities are updated remotely.

Can a 1C 7.7 database be updated to 8.3?

No: 7.7 and 8.3 are different platforms and cannot be connected by an update. Moving from 7.7 means transferring data to a new 8.3 database; it is described on the “1C implementation” page.
