Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 - Release Wave 2

Published on 16 Oct 2025

Topics: Dynamics 365 Business Central, The Microsoft World

Here are latest updates on Business Central in the 2025 release wave 2 and what Microsoft have planned for the next 6 months

This release wave plan of Dynamics 365 Business Central outlines all new functionalities scheduled for release from October 2025 to March 2026. Delivery times may change, and projected functionalities may not be released.

Highlights from this release includes:

  • Smarter with Copilot and Agents
    The Sales Order Agent now handles orders even more intuitively, recognising details from emails or attachments and filling in the blanks automatically. The Payables Agent learns from every invoice you post, so it can suggest the right accounts and vendors with growing accuracy. Copilot itself is getting a little glow-up, from improved conversational chat to auto filling details on some pages.
  • Sustainability
    The sustainability module takes another big step forward this release. Copilot can now suggest emission entries directly in your journals, helping you record carbon data faster and more consistently. There’s better tracking for emission factors over time, richer reporting for Scope 3 data, and smarter ways to link your environmental impact to day-to-day business processes.
  • eCommerce
    If you’re using the Shopify connector, you’ll love this. The integration’s been rebuilt to stay in sync with Shopify’s latest APIs and adds some much requested flexibility. From the ability to use the POS connector, support for market specific pricing, and improved handling of sell-to / bill-to details.
  • Reporting and Analysis
    Reporting in Business Central is continually having a little tidy up. Financial reports are now easier to build and maintain, with dynamic column naming. More reports are changing to use more Word layouts. Data Analysis has improved by adding data from other related tables. Power BI reports have also improved, now with the ability to drill down into transactions directly from your visuals. 

In the 'General availability' column, the feature will be delivered within the month listed. The delivery date can be any day within that month. Released features show the full date, including the day of release.
