The new 2025 functionalities of the ERP Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

At the beginning of 2025, Microsoft announced new features for your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central ERP. These features will be available to users between April and September 2025.

Application: Field Service integration

With the new Business Central 2025 release, Microsoft introduces several notable improvements:

• Integration with Field Service: you can now integrate Field Service into the management of your services, allowing better coordination of service operations. This feature is of particular interest to the operations of organizations that provide maintenance and repair services.

• Item availability in work orders: It is now possible to display the availability of items in the warehouse directly in field service work orders, which facilitates planning and execution of tasks.

Go further with the AI Copilot  

In 2024, Microsoft announced the possibility of conversing with its AI Copilot to get help or learn new skills. For this new release, Microsoft goes further by continuing to expand the capabilities of its Copilot AI:

• Copilot, a real assistant: users can now ask questions directly on the content of applications and be guided. Copilot can also generate automatic data summaries, making it easier to quickly understand key information.

• Sales Order Assistant: Copilot allows you to automate the sales order taking, reducing manual tasks and speeding up the sales process.

• Improved Supplier Order Line Matching: Copilot improves the matching of Supplier Order Lines, reducing errors and increasing efficiency. 

E-Commerce: Business Central and Shopify

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central ERP 2025 Wave 1 strengthens the integration between Business Central and Shopify:

• Enabling different sales channels: Users can now enable their different sales channels in the Shopify connector, simplifying sales management.

• Data import and export with Shopify metafields: It is now possible to import and export more data using Shopify metafields, improving the synchronization of information across platforms.

Financial Management

Financial management has never been easier with the new Business Central features:

• Analysis of subscription billing data: you can now, thanks to the new Power BI application for subscription billing data analysis, analyze all your subscription billing data.

• Definition of mandatory fields for certain types of documents: such as purchase orders and invoices, to ensure the completeness of the required information. The fields involved include transaction type, regime, mode of transport and delivery conditions. This requirement prevents the validation of documents without these essential information, thus reducing the risk of errors. This improvement aims to simplify the reporting process, save time and minimize administrative errors.

• In addition, a new functionality allows verifying that the total amounts (including VAT and VAT) entered on invoices and purchase credits correspond to the totals calculated from the lines of the document.

Governance and administration

• Access to report and request metadata : It is now possible to access report and request metadata in Word layouts, making it easier to customize documents.

• An overview of PDF attachments possible.

Sustainability

Options for CSR and sustainability have been improved:
