The 2025 release wave 1 plan covers all new functionalities planned for market from April 2025 to September 2025. In this article, you find the product overview and what's new and planned for Dynamics 365 Finance.
Overview
Finance continues to be a strategic leader in an organization’s growth plan. A key aspect of this role is gaining a competitive advantage by using AI to transform not only the productivity of an organization but also the ability to view deep insights on data for faster decision-making. We continue to strengthen our autonomous financial application goals by bringing additional copilot and agentic capabilities to customers while strengthening the core offering and setting the foundation for end-to-end automation and copilot experiences.
In this release, we continue the preview of the account reconciliation agent, moving this process from end-of-period to a systematic, real-time experience. We also introduce a new journal framework that brings extra control, hyper-scale, and multicompany capabilities to both the entry and import experiences. We enhance modern bank reconciliation and automation to reach deeper capabilities based on user feedback. In globalization, we expand our out-of-the-box localizations with releases for Türkiye and Argentina. We keep the system up to date with evolving electronic invoicing, tax reporting, and other legislations, while also enhancing tax automation capabilities.
Business performance analytics introduces increased data freshness and extensibility capabilities. Business performance planning provides intelligent actions and templates for quickly starting the continuous planning process.
Features and user experience enhancements are designed with the copilot-first experience, using copilot to gain deep insights across documents in the application, gain insights into the fixed assets book, help with increasing automation in bank reconciliation, and reduce the manual work involved in managing taxes and applying regulatory updates.
