Getting started fast on new implementations and recurring maintenance in Business Central setup saves companies time and money. Copilot can reduce the time it takes to set up number series and make their maintenance quick and easy. For example, when you need to update year or month-based numbering for many draft and posted documents in Business Central.
Feature details
Copilot can help you create and update number series faster on the No. Series page. The Generate action opens the Generate No. Series with Copilot dialog, where you can enter a prompt to create new, or modify existing, number series.
Number series setup creation
To help you write the prompt, the Create new action in the Generate No. Series with Copilot dialog provides sets of prompt guides that you can use as inspiration.
When you choose Generate, Copilot creates proposals for one or more number series, and you can review the proposals in the No. Series Proposals view. You can remove the proposals that you don't like, and edit the ones you do. When you're ready, you can choose Keep it to add or update a proposal. In addition, Copilot updates various setup pages with the number series you decided to keep.
