October ’24 BC Release Wave – Create Product Info Quickly with CoPilot

October ’24 BC Release Wave – What’s Included?

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central receives major updates twice a year, typically in April and October. These updates introduce significant new features and improvements to enhance the functionality and user experience of the platform. Most capabilities are made available in major updates, but some become available in minor updates, which are released monthly.

Microsoft is committed to delivering predictable updates to the service. Updates are continuous, touchless updates that provide new features and functionality. They eliminate the need to do expensive upgrades every few years.

What can we expect in the October 2024 release?

In a business landscape that changes fast, companies often need to evolve the portfolio of products they sell. Whether it’s adding new products, changing existing products, or adding entire new product lines and categories, it’s often time consuming to create and manage product (item) information. Copilot can significantly reduce this effort and accelerate the time to market for new products, which means you have more time to focus on what matters most, your business.

Because product (item) information is spread out across several pages, creating and managing this information can be a time-consuming task. The effort involves looking up information based on existing items, pasting values, and ensuring the new product is ready to transact. Creating variants, dimensions, units of measure, and other item-related information also takes time that delays market readiness for new products.

Copilot can help you add items by reusing information from similar items. Copilot can suggest the following information:

• Variants
• Units of Measure
• Substitutions
• Dimensions

When you manage product information, Copilot can assist by suggesting data from similar products (items). Copilot assistance not only reduces the time it takes to create a product, but it also ensures that your products are ready to transact faster than ever before.
