Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Release Wave 2 Features
Discover what’s new to Business Central in October.
Microsoft’s latest releases are out, which means solutions like Business Central have received new features and capabilities. This article breaks down the top new features in Dynamics 365 Business Central.
Subscription Billing
Customers value the convenience that flexible payment options offer. Microsoft brings payment enhancements to Business Central with the latest release, including the addition of subscription billing. It’s easier than ever to manage portfolios on recurring bills, contracts, renewals, and more.
Enhancements from Copilot
Microsoft has deployed new Copilot features across countless solutions, and Business Central has received a hefty amount. Here are just a few Copilot-specific updates available with the latest release:
Product Descriptions
When creating product descriptions, users can tap Copilot to auto-fill information based on similar items. Copilot can draw from measurements, substitutions, dimensions, and more to trim time spent updating product portfolios.
Sales Order Lines
Copilot can easily add new lines to sales orders. The AI can read input from free text, files, or existing prompts to fill out sales orders; this means customers can get their sales documents quickly without a heavy lift from sales team members.
Bank Reconciliations
Bank reconciliations have become less labor-intensive thanks to Copilot. Now, Copilot builds upon Business Central’s rule-based transaction matching and even suggests G/L accounts to post the remaining transactions.
Sustainability Enhancements
Business Central offers sustainability features across multiple modules for organizations operating under emissions regulations. Users can add sustainability scorecards and goals to the system, purchase carbon credits, and track carbon emissions directly in Business Central.
How Do I Test These New Features?
If you don’t see these features in Business Central, you may not be on the latest edition. But you can still do a trial run of the new release by creating a sandbox environment, which will always be up to date.
