Hi All, Learn how BC28 automates posting date restrictions using date formulas in General Ledger Setup, User Setup, and Journal Templates. Business Central BC28 introduces date formulas for allowed posting periods, enabling dynamic posting windows that automatically adjust based on the current date. Managing posting periods in Business Central often requires repetitive manual maintenance. Finance teams typically update allowed posting dates every month to prevent users from posting transactions into incorrect periods. Business Central 2026 release wave 1 (BC28) simplifies this process by introducing date formulas for posting restrictions . This feature allows administrators to automate posting date ranges using dynamic formulas instead of manually updating fixed dates.

Hi All, Business Central 2026 Wave 1 adds email delivery, PDF generation, and attachment management for Posted Sales Shipments and Posted Return Receipts. Introduction Customer communication often extends beyond invoices. Many organizations need to provide shipment confirmations immediately after products leave the warehouse and share return documentation when goods are received back. Before this release, users typically relied on manual exports, printing, or custom solutions. Business Central 2026 Wave 1 closes this gap by introducing direct email capabilities for Posted Sales Shipments and Posted Return Receipts. This enhancement aligns shipment and returns receipt handling with the experience already available for posted invoices and credit memos.

Hi All, Learn how the new Copy Location feature in Business Central BC28 helps duplicate warehouse locations faster and reduce manual setup time. Business Central BC28 introduces Copy Location, allowing users to duplicate existing warehouse/location setups instead of recreating configurations manually. Managing multiple warehouse locations in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central often involves repetitive configuration work. Consultants and administrators traditionally relied on manual setup or Configuration Packages to create similar locations. With Business Central 2026 release wave 1 (BC28), Microsoft introduced a new feature called Copy Location , making it significantly easier to duplicate existing location setups.

Hi Readers, Business Central 2026 Release Wave 1 requires Windows 11 or Windows Server 2022/2025, .NET 8, SQL Server compatibility level 160/170, and at least 16 GB RAM. Introduction Installing Business Central 2026 Release Wave 1 (BC28) starts with understanding the platform requirements. Many installation issues occur before Setup even begins because the operating system, SQL Server, or .NET components don't meet Microsoft's requirements. This guide summarizes the key prerequisites and explains the installation process so consultants, developers, administrators, and partners can prepare a successful BC28 environment.

Hi All, Business Central BC 28 introduces creator and modifier avatars on list pages, making record ownership and AI-generated activity easier to identify and manage. Introduction One of the smaller but highly practical usability improvements in Business Central 2026 Release Wave 1 (BC 28) is the introduction of user and agent avatars directly on list pages. While the feature may appear cosmetic initially, it addresses a real operational challenge: understanding ownership and responsibility across shared data. In many Business Central environments, multiple users, departments, integrations, and automated processes work on the same records. Identifying who created or modified a record often required opening the card page, checking system fields, or relying on change logs. BC 28 simplifies this experience significantly.

  By [Saurav Dhyani] | Business Central Consultant & Architect A few weeks ago, the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central community gathered in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam for Directions Asia 2026 — and it was one of the most energising editions of this conference I have attended. I was there as both an attendee and a speaker, which gave me the unusual privilege of experiencing the event from both sides of the room. I sat through keynotes and sessions that genuinely shifted how I think, and I delivered a session of my own on a topic I care deeply about. This article is my attempt to capture what mattered — for partners, consultants, architects, and developers across the Asia-Pacific Business Central ecosystem. If you are looking for a surface-level summary, this is not it. What follows is a full recap of what was said, what it means, and what you should actually do with it.
