Business value

Microsoft Copilot in Business Central is the AI-powered assistant that boosts creativity, improves productivity, and eliminates tedious tasks. Copilot helps you reduce the time it takes to identify trends and anomalies in your business data by enabling you to express your analysis as a simple sentence, without ever leaving Business Central. By describing how you want to structure your data analysis, such as "show me vendors by location sorted by amount of purchases," you quickly get insights instead of spending time on the clicks and keystrokes to construct analysis views. For example, you can use this feature to identify which vendors supply each of your warehouses. Then, take steps to optimize your supply chain or negotiate better deals with your vendors.

Feature details

This update to the preview includes:

  • Availability for more users: Support for more languages, now including English, Danish, German, Italian, French, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Thai, Turkish, Czech, Greek, Korean, and Chinese (simplified).

  • Flexibility: Copilot drafts analysis tabs using all fields from the list page, including columns that might be hidden.

  • Improved control: You can make manual changes more easily to an analysis tab that Copilot drafts. You can go back and forth through the history of the tab before you finalize it.
