It’s that time again. A new release of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is here!
The 2026 Release Wave 1 landed 1st April, and our upcoming webinar is the perfect way to get an early look at what’s come out.
Join us for a practical walkthrough of the improvements that will make the biggest difference to teams working in finance, operations, and IT. Rather than running through every update, we’ll focus on the changes that drive real outcomes - less manual effort, stronger control, faster processes, and better insight for decision-making.
What we'll cover
In this session, we’ll focus on what actually changes in day-to-day use of Business Central, including:
- How AI is moving from “assistant” to “active participant” in work: What’s new with Copilot and agents - including better visibility of agent activity and the ability to review agent-generated content directly within Business Central pages, so teams stay in control.
- Where governance and approvals have materially improved: How organisations can strengthen internal control and audit readiness through new approval workflows for requisition/planning activity and item journals, helping ensure decisions and inventory adjustments are validated before execution.
- Which changes genuinely reduce friction in purchasing and fulfilment: Including updates like creating purchase orders directly from drop shipment sales orders, simplifying common scenarios and reducing workaround-heavy processes.
- What’s improving in reporting and insight for decision-makers: How reporting and insight is becoming more usable and actionable, including enhanced item insights and improvements designed to support faster analysis and better decision-making.
- What’s worth enabling now vs. what to monitor as Wave 1 rolls out: A practical partner perspective on prioritising the changes that will deliver value early and where it makes sense to wait, test, or plan adoption.
…and plenty more enhancements across finance, supply chain, and usability as part of the Wave 1 rollout.
