What’s Coming in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Wave 2 Release Plan?

October is nearly here and that can only mean one thing - Microsoft’s gearing up for its next big update. The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Wave 2 Release Plan is here, and it’s packed with features designed to make your working life easier, smarter and more connected.

But what exactly is coming? And why should you care?

Let’s take a look…

Smarter tools, sharper decisions 

This release is all about intelligent automation. Think agents that can read emails and process orders, and co-pilot features that help you get things done faster. Microsoft is doubling down on AI, and it’s not just hype—it’s practical, usable tech that’s ready for use.

Whether it’s helping you manage purchase invoices or giving you smarter suggestions based on historical data, these tools are designed to save time and reduce errors. And yes, they’re getting better at understanding your business, too.

Financials, supply chain and sustainability—sorted

From financial management improvements to quality control enhancements, the Wave 2 release touches on all the areas that matter. There’s even a new app for quality checks and better tools for managing subcontracting workflows.

And if sustainability is on your radar (as it should be), you’ll be pleased to hear that environmental impact tracking is becoming part of the core experience. It’s no longer a bolt-on – it's included.

Price changes are coming 

Here’s something you don’t hear every day: Business Central pricing is going up. For the first time in 5 years, Microsoft is adjusting its licensing costs. The change kicks in from 1 October 2025, so if you’ve been thinking about expanding your licences, now might be the time to act.
