April 1, 2024, marks a significant milestone for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with the release of its next major version. This update promises to revolutionise the way businesses operate by introducing a suite of new features aimed at enhancing platform performance, scalability, and reliability.
Here is what to expect:
Microsoft Copilot for Business Central streamlines business processes with natural language automation flows, provides insights with new Analysis tabs, simplifies e-document management in procurement, and enhances bank reconciliation and sales operations.
The Jobs module is evolving into Projects, introducing simplified invoicing for multiple projects per customer, customisable bill-to and sell-to options, timesheet copying for efficiency, and improved project lifecycle management with archiving and restoration. The Assemble to Project feature and default location and bin assignments will further streamline project setup.
The new version will also focus on sustainability compliance, allowing businesses to collect and report on a wide range of sustainability activities. This will be facilitated through sustainability journals and recurring sustainability journals, making it easier for companies to track and manage their sustainability efforts.
User experience is set to improve with enhanced drag and drop functionality, enabling the attachment of multiple files to records with ease. This user-centric approach ensures that the platform remains intuitive and responsive to the needs of its users.
