Dynamics 365 Business Central – What will Release Wave 2 bring in October 2025?

8. August 2025

Microsoft has unveiled the new features of the 2025 Release Wave 2 for Dynamics 365 Business Central. Numerous improvements will be available to companies from 1 October 2025 – with a focus on artificial intelligence, automation, international scaling and a more modern developer experience.

Copilot & KI: Business Central becomes more intelligent

The new release wave makes the “Sales Order Agent” significantly more powerful. It now also takes on complex tasks such as:

  • Processing of multi-ship-to scenarios
  • Processing of PDF attachments
  • Automatic availability checks
  • Context-related communication by e-mail

In addition, Copilot functions can be extended in a targeted manner for the first time: developers can integrate their own assistance functions via AL code – e.g. summaries, input aids or suggestions in the work process.

Global extensions & compliance

The release wave brings targeted enhancements for various countries:

  • UK: Functional expansion for the British market
  • USA: Integration of the IRS-1099 API
  • Australia: new requirements in payment reporting
  • Czech Republic: Optimisation of the user interface

These customisations increase usability in international scenarios and support regional compliance requirements.

Developer friendliness: More options for individual customising

Wave 2 also makes Business Central more attractive for developers:

  • Copilot can be customised directly via AL code
  • Integration with Copilot Studio
  • Extended debugging options
  • Additional events for expandability

This makes the realisation of individual requirements in the standard much more flexible – while at the same time improving the development and testing process.

E-commerce: Extended integration with Shopify

For retail companies, the new version brings valuable enhancements in interaction with Shopify:

  • Targeted assignment of employees to sales roles
  • Improved customer allocation in the ordering process
  • Management of country-specific prices

Business Central is thus moving closer to the requirements of modern online shops.

Subcontracting & contract manufacturing

The control of external production processes is significantly better supported. The new functions make it possible to map preliminary products, delivery conditions, price agreements and external logistics more specifically in the system.

Reporting, KPIs & ESG

There are also important innovations in the area of evaluation and sustainability:

  • New key figures and improved forecasts
  • Deeper integration with Power BI and Excel
  • Copilot-supported analysis of financial data
  • Tools for recording emissions (Scope 3), CSRD and CBAM-compliant reports

This allows Business Central to be better integrated into ESG strategies and regulatory reporting obligations.

Conclusion

Release Wave 2 (October 2025) strengthens Dynamics 365 Business Central in the areas of:

  • AI and process automation
  • Internationality and legal requirements
  • Freedom of development and system expansion
  • E-Commerce-Integration
  • Transparency in reporting and sustainability

Companies that want to strategically develop their ERP will find numerous starting points here – from daily handling and regulatory requirements to future-proofing their platform.
