Entering data can be time-consuming and error-prone, both for casual users of Business Central, as well as expert users who are tasked with entering record after record throughout their workday. Microsoft Copilot is an AI-powered assistant for work that helps spark creativity, boost productivity, and eliminate tedious tasks. Copilot now suggests appropriate field values so that you can simply choose to keep them instead of typing.
Autofill is a new capability of Copilot in Business Central:
- When drafting a new record or editing an existing record, Copilot can suggest values for some of the editable fields on the page.
- Autofill is available for fields (but not rows or columns) in card and document pages such as Customers, Sales Orders, Items, or even your own custom pages.
- Suggestions are grounded in your company data, and might be based on recently used values, frequently used values, or intelligent selection from a choice of values in a lookup or option field. They can also be AI-generated depending on the field and context.
- Copilot simply suggests the value to you, giving you the opportunity to review where the suggestion originates from. Ultimately, users remain in control and decide to apply that value, discard it, or replace it.
- Available later this wave: Copilot will automatically search the web for more information and provide suggestions for customer or vendor contact details, product codes, and similar fields that typically contain public information.
Tip: You can get hands-on with Autofill as early as March 2025 using sandbox environments on preview version 26.
Look for the sparkle icon on fields to ask Copilot for suggestions.
Copilot makes suggestions for multiple fields within the FastTab (group). Use the information icon to understand how Copilot made the suggestion.
Review, keep, or discard a suggestion. You can also do this in bulk by keeping or discarding all suggestions.

Copilot is built on Microsoft's comprehensive approach to enterprise security, privacy, compliance, and responsible AI. Our philosophy is that your data is your data: customer data in Business Central is not used to train AI models.
