1. Do you know the news of
the first wave of Business
Central?

2. • Microsoft has recently announced that between April and September 2021 it will
implement the first wave of updates for Dynamics 365 Business Central.
• This first wave of innovations offers a set of tools designed to improve the usability of
the system, customer and inventory management, and integration with Microsoft 365.
• Microsoft Business Central was recently released and has been creating a buzz in the
business world. This all-in-one cloud-based solution offers a modern and intuitive
interface that streamlines financial management, supply chain, and project management
processes. With seamless integration with Microsoft 365 and Power BI Platform,
businesses can access the insights and tools they need to drive growth and improve
operational efficiency

3. • Administration Improvement
• The first novelty is based on offering a set of tools to simplify the way of managing and
administering the platform.
• Improves the export of databases. Customers with very large databases used to have
difficulty exporting their data. It is a rather serious problem because it directly influences
the analysis and retention of information. With this new version, the export capacity is
increased for those companies that have very large databases. Customer connect finance
• Improvement for delegated administrators. Partners acting as delegated administrators
will have optimized access and additional capabilities to better serve their customers.
• Reassign an environment from one Azure Active Directory organization to another. In
some cases, a Business Central customer's Azure AD organization changes after
purchasing a Business Central environment. This occurs, for example, when two
companies associate, or one absorbs the other. With the new version, a functionality will
be added in which Azure AD environments can be reassigned between organizations.

4. • Improvement with customers
• Usability improvements for the Business Central web client. Microsoft wants to
adapt to the way in which the user expects to interact with the application, that
is, it wants to optimize the view and usability regardless of the size of the screen
that is used to view the data. With this modification, the user ensures that they
can manage and modify content quickly, in addition to having a faster loading
speed.
• Easy contact information and access to interaction history. It is important to
quickly obtain information while speaking with a client. Business Central provides
all the data we need from the contact instantly with supply chain.
• Changes in the synchronization between contact and customer/supplier. The way
to synchronize data between clients and contacts is optimized. Previously,
Business Central automatically synchronized a person's contact with the contact
of the company where they work. From now on, you will differentiate the contact
of the person with that of the company.

5. • Improved payment reconciliation
• Enhancements to bank reconciliation features. Bank reconciliation is a critical
accounting task. With the new feature, you can cancel a bank reconciliation that
was posted with errors and run a new report. In addition, you can also change the
bank statement number in case you want to redo it.
• Improvements in the payment reconciliation journal. It will allow a simulation of
the registered payment journal, in this way, it will be possible to obtain a preview
to verify that everything is in order before proceeding to register it.
• Simplified import of bank statement files. It is important to maintain an updated
general ledger to reflect the business bank account. In this update, the ability to
import bank statements is simplified so that users can take a regular flat file (.csv
.txt) and map the file's columns to Business Central.

6. • Inventory improvements
• Automatic creation of information cards on batches and serial numbers. Some
companies don't just need to track their batch and serial number, they need additional
information as well. To do this, Business Central has created pages to include all the extra
information that users need.
• BIN codes at work. To speed up the number of orders in a warehouse, support for bins is
expanded to make it easier to find items.
• Define lot sizes for various stages of production. Companies will have greater flexibility to
define the lot size according to the duration of the production orders.
• New ability to adjust inventory. Stock adjustments can be made directly from the
inventory record, such as increasing stock or cleaning up damaged goods.
• Monitor inventory and transaction flow. As the flow of goods becomes more complex,
the ability to track items is more complicated. This release improves tracking capabilities
to know when and where items were received, stored, and sold.

7. • Edit active prices in lists and pages. Almost all companies have their own approach to
pricing their products or services. Some use price lists that apply to specific groups of
customers, and others simply rely on sales processes. Previously, to change a price list or
pages, you had to deactivate it. From now on, this change can be made with lists or
pages activated.
• Improved integration with 365
• Find 365 Business Central contacts from Microsoft Teams . Business Central offers a
comprehensive business contact management system. Many times you need to start a
conversation with a client or supplier, so the new version will allow quick access to
Microsoft Teams contacts without having to change the application .
• Supports cloud printing with Microsoft Universal Print. Universal Print is a Microsoft 365
service that modernizes print management and offers a simple printing experience. From
now on, the user will be able to select which printer to send the data to without the
need for IT personnel. This way, no time is wasted or work interrupted.

8. • Enables Microsoft Word merge into Business Central. Word functionality can be used to
add a personal touch to Business Central mass communications. When you want to send
a document to many recipients, you can use Word's mail merge capability to personalize
each document by pulling data about the recipients from Business Central.
• Editing Microsoft Excel more securely. Many business processes rely on Excel for data
entry or data analysis. With this novelty, the integration of Excel with Business Central to
edit or update the data is improved, reducing the risk of error due to calculations that
have affected a row.
• Finally, these new features will make Business Central improve the experience with the
client and with the administration of the system. The goal is to achieve the perfect
business management system. We will remain attentive to the latest news to keep you
