3 Brand New Tools in Dynamics 365 Business Central

Overview

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is getting a major boost with its 2025 release waves, bringing powerful AI-driven agents, tighter integration with the Power Platform, and enhanced tools for supply chain and warehouse operations. These updates are not just incremental — they reflect Microsoft’s vision of enabling small and midsize businesses (SMBs) to work smarter, automate complex processes, and scale without friction.

In this blog, we’ll deep-dive into three of the most impactful new tools in Business Central, explain how they can transform your operations, and highlight how TechWize can help you adopt and maximize them effectively.

1. Business Central Copilot Enhancements

AI-Powered Data Entry Assistance

One of the most immediate benefits in the 2025 release wave 1 is Copilot’s ability to assist with routine data entry. Business Central can now suggest values for fields based on prior patterns, company data, and context — reducing manual workload and improving accuracy.
For example, when you’re entering a purchase order or sales line, Copilot may offer suggested items, quantities or pricing. Users can choose to accept or modify these suggestions, giving them speed without losing control.

Natural-Language Querying for Faster Insights

Copilot in Business Central now offers a summarization feature — you can ask it to condense data on a record (like a customer card, a long sales order, or a financial document) into key bullet points, so you don’t have to wade through every field manually.
This makes it easier for decision-makers and users to quickly grasp the most relevant insights, improving response time and reducing cognitive overhead.

Automated Forecasting for Finance & Inventory

Beyond the basic AI-assist features, Business Central’s agents bring powerful automation capabilities. The Sales Order Agent, for example, can read customer emails, extract order details, match them to existing customers, and even check inventory availability before drafting an order.
On the payable side, the Payables Agent can pull in vendor invoice attachments from email or SharePoint, interpret them, and create purchase invoice records in Business Central — drastically cutting down manual AP work.
Additionally, Copilot helps with sustainability accounting: it can suggest estimated greenhouse gas emissions into your sustainability journals using built-in logic, thereby supporting organizations that are serious about tracking their environmental impact.

2. Improved Power Platform Integration

No-Code Workflow Automation with Power Automate

Business Central’s 2025 roadmap includes tighter integration with Power Automate, enabling “human-in-the-loop” workflows, generative AI actions, and intelligent document processing.
This means businesses can build automated pipelines — for example, when a sales order is received, Power Automate could trigger validation steps, send notifications, and offer approvals — all without writing traditional code.

Unified Data Sync with Dataverse

A significant development in the 2025 wave 2 is the introduction of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Dataverse, which allows Business Central data to be used more intelligently by AI agents.
Essentially, this protocol helps agents fetch, reason over, and act upon live business data stored in Dataverse. This unlocks a more real-time, context-aware AI experience across Power Platform and Business Central.

Embedded Power BI Reports for Real-Time Analytics

Analytics is another big area of investment. With the 2025 release wave 2, Microsoft is enhancing Power BI embedding inside Business Central.
Thanks to this, users get real-time, actionable BI dashboards without leaving their ERP interface — whether it’s financial performance, inventory trends, or operational KPIs, actionable insights are always just a click away.

3. Advanced Warehouse & Inventory Tools

Mobile Scanning and Warehouse App Improvements

While the 2025 release wave 2 plans focus more on supply chain enhancements, Microsoft is improving warehouse and inventory processes — particularly in manufacturing and subcontracting scenarios.
Although detailed mobile-scanning upgrades are not deeply documented in the release plan, partners and analysts expect that the ongoing supply chain investments will improve mobile workflows, given Microsoft’s consistent focus on usability and real-time data.

Enhanced Item Tracking & Lot Management

One of the most promising features in this wave is quality management. According to Business Central’s roadmap, an extension for quality checks will allow inspection of both inbound goods and in-house manufactured items.
These checks can generate Quality Certificates or Certificates of Analysis, which is crucial for regulated industries or enterprises demanding high-quality standards.
In practical terms, this means better traceability, tighter control over lot and batch handling, and more confidence in the quality of items going in and out.

Real-Time Stock Availability Across Locations

With subcontracting capabilities also getting a boost, Business Central will support receiving finished goods from external partners — with full item tracking — directly into your inventory.
This means that stock visibility will improve significantly, enabling businesses to make better decisions about warehouse allocations, reorder points, and logistics. Add in Power BI embedding, and you have a powerful system for real-time visibility across your inventory landscape.
