Mock outbound HTTP client web service calls during testing 

Feature Details

AL developers can easily mock out HttpClient Get/Put/Delete/Post calls in unit tests. The idea is to allow easy substitutions of the responses of HttpClient calls in unit tests by introducing a new handler function to intercept HttpClient calls. 

The signature is expected to be: 

Copy 

[HttpClientHandler] 

procedure MyHandler(path: Text/Uri; requestType: HttpRequestType; var response: TestHttpResponseMessage; var success: Boolean): boolean 

The default behaviour will be to prevent making an actual request, but there should be the option to do so by changing the exit value.

View build metadata in Extension Management page 

Feature Details

In Business Central 2024 release wave 1, we introduced the Source and Build properties in the app.json manifest file of extensions to help track extensions created as part of DevOps pipelines. This allows you to easily find the relevant source repo, commit ID, and build system used to create the extension. In Business Central 2024 release wave 2,the ability to view Source information on the extension card in the Extension Management page was added. The Build information was also added in 2025 release wave 1. 

The details card page for extensions in the Extension Management page now includes the Build information. The Build information is composed of by for tracking the build agent and url, which is used to specify the URL to the build system invocation where the build can be found.

Key Enhancements in E-Commerce

Delete incorrect e-documents and avoid duplicates 

Feature Details

Business Central won’t create new incoming e-documents if you import a batch that contains duplicates. Duplicates are documents with the same vendor, external document number, and date. 

If a duplicate or incorrect E-Document already exists in Business Central, administrators can delete them. However, you can’t delete e-documents that are already processed and are connected with purchase documents.

Activate sales channels in Shopify Connector 

Feature Details

When you publish products from Business Central to Shopify, you can now choose which sales channels to activate directly from the Shopify Sales Channels page. On the new Shopify Sales Channels page, you can access all available channels in Shopify, just like you would with Locations or Languages. Just activate the ones you want, and the Shopify Connector handles the rest. If you haven’t set up this page yet, don’t worry. Your products default to the Online Store.

Use E-Docs with Power Automate and other Solutions with APIs

Feature Details

With enabled APIs, sharing sales electronic documents from Business Central to other applications or services becomes seamless. Integrating the E-Documents app in Business Central with Power Automate allows you to connect to Power Platform tools and other systems for enhanced functionality. This setup allows sending e-documents as BLOB files through various communication channels beyond default connectors or email. Additionally, the integration supports automating the receipt of electronic documents in the purchasing process, transferring them to the E-Documents tables for further processing within Business Central.

Send e-documents via a service and email simultaneously 

Feature Details

Previously, you could either send e-documents through a connector service or download the file and email it. Now, you have more options for handling e-documents in sales. 

If you choose the Post action from the Sales Order, Sales Invoice or Sales Credit Memo pages, Business Central posts the document as usual, but it can also trigger a workflow to create an e-document. That requires you to have an e-document workflow configured for the customer. But, if you choose Post and Send, Business Central does the same but also sends the e-document via email as an attachment. 

Depending on whether you enable the e-documents workflow, you can choose one of the following models for sending documents in the sales process: 

    • Use the Post action from the document, and Service Integration is enabled on the E-Document Service page. The e-document is sent to the configured access point. 

    • Use the Post and Send action from the document, and Service Integration is enabled in the E-Document Service page. The e-document is sent to the configured access point and as an attachment in an email. 

    • Use the Post action from the document. Service Integration isn’t enabled on the E-Document Service page. The e-document has been created and is ready to download.
    • Use the Post and Send action from the document, and Service Integration isn’t enabled on the E-Document Service page. The e-document is sent by email.

Import and export more data using Shopify meta fields 

Feature Details

Shopify’s platform includes data models for basic commerce concepts. However, commerce is diverse and often requires more complex or specific data models. The custom data platform lets you extend Shopify’s data models and create your own by using metafields. Metafields are a flexible way to add and store additional information about a Shopify resource, such as a product, customer, or company. The additional information stored in meta fields can be almost anything related to a resource. Some examples are preferences, credit limit, loyalty programmes, social media links, or segment information. 

We’ve added the ability to import and export data stored in metafields into Business Central. Also, an extensibility model allows developers to map standard or custom fields, attributes, or other related entries in Business Central to meta fields in Shopify. 

You can edit meta fields on the Shopify Metafields page, which you open from the Shopify Customers, Customer Card, Companies, or Company Card pages. 

Note 

You can edit the Shopify Metafields page in the following cases: 

    • For a Shopify customer, if the Customer Import from the Shopify field is set to None or With Order Import, the Can Update Shopify Customers toggle is turned on. 

    • For a Shopify company, if the Company Import from the Shopify field is set to None or With Order Import, and the Can Update Shopify Companies toggle is turned on. 

When you add a new record, the connector immediately sends a request to Shopify and stores the entry only when it gets a response with the Shopify ID for the meta field. You can’t edit types that have AssistEdit functionality defined directly on the line. 

Also, if standard meta fields are defined, you can use the Get Meta field Definitions action to get the list from Shopify. All supported metafields are imported. You only need to update the values. 

The new Sync Product/Variant Meta fields to Shopify, Sync Customer meta fields to Shopify, and Sync Company meta fields to Shopify actions on the Shopify Shop Card page let you specify whether to synch synchronise fields when you synch synchroniser from Shopify. Those settings can be useful for sync performance if you don’t rely on meta fields but have large product or customer lists.

Use Payments with the E-Document Framework

Feature Details

You can mark whether an e-document is fully paid, partially paid, or unpaid. This
information is sent (accounts payable) or received (accounts receivable) through access points based on your e-document configuration. The payment tracking feature in e-documents includes details such as:

  • Date of payment collection
  • Amount collected, including VAT
  • Base amount and VAT amount at the time of payment

Troubleshoot export issues on Shopify Skipped Records page 

Feature Details

When you export data to Shopify, the Shopify Connector skips records that Shopify will reject or that aren’t valid for export for other reasons. While the behaviour is expected, you might be confused if some information wasn’t processed as you expected. You can now find those entries on the Shopify Skipped Records page, which shows all skipped records and provides the reasons and the date and time the records were skipped. 

Cases that the Shopify Connector logs 

Customer: 

    • A customer has an empty email. 

    • A customer with the same email or phone number exists. 

Posted sales invoice: 

    • Customer doesn’t exist in Shopify. 

    • Payment term mapping is missing. 

    • Customer number is the default customer number for the Shopify Shop. 

    • Customer number is used in the Shopify customer template. 

    • No lines exist in the sales invoice. 

    • Invalid (negative or fractional) quantity. 

    • Empty number value. 

Product: 

    • Item is blocked/sales blocked (item variant). 

    • Item is blocked. 

    • Item description is empty. 

Catalogue: 

    • Price sync if the catalogue isn’t found in Shopify. 

Shipments: 

    • Related Shopify order doesn’t exist. 

    • No lines in the posted sales shipment are applicable for fulfilment. 

    • No corresponding fulfilment is found in Shopify. 

If you run sync in the foreground, you will be notified if records are skipped. Choose View Skipped Records to open the Shopify Skipped Records page. 

Setup 

The Logging Mode field controls the content of the Shopify Skipped Records page. Note that the All option works in the same way as Error Only and logs only skipped entries. It won’t log entries that were previously skipped.

Generate multiple incoming e-documents for
multiple attachments

Feature Details

You can generate multiple new incoming e-documents by selecting the New From File action on the E-Documents page. Choose the appropriate service for the correct
Document Format, and then upload multiple documents. Business Central processes all uploaded documents and creates a new incoming E-Document for each file if their format matches the chosen Document Format.

Automate embedded attachments in PEPPOL 

Feature Details

The introduction of the ability to encode attachments in the PEPPOL file format in Business Central 2024 release wave 2 provided the benefit of additional automation. You can automate the process of embedding sales document attachments in the PEPPOL file format. When you post a document, Business Central creates a PDF file and embeds it in the PEPPOL format, including both the full XML and a human-readable format. 

During the purchase process, Business Central can process PEPPOL files with embedded attachments (invoices), decompose the embedded file, add it as an attachment to the e-document record, and make it available on the E-Document page for further processing.

Create e-documents from posted sales invoices 

Feature Details

If there was a problem with your setup for e-documents, and Business Central didn’t create a related e-document when you posted a sales invoice, for example, you can quickly create one yourself. To check whether Business Central created an e-document, open the Posted Sales Invoice page and select the Open E-Document action. If you don’t find a related e-document, you can run the Create New E-Document action to generate one based on the workflow rules. If a related e-document does exist, you can’t use the action. 

To find out more about this great feature and how it can help your warehouse operations, visit the Microsoft Website.

Process e-documents in two steps 

Feature Details

You can choose whether to use automatic processing for purchase documents, where Business Central creates new documents right away, or a two-step process that requires explicit confirmation before creating a purchase document. In the two-step process, Business Central creates the e-document, but then you must confirm it before you can take the next step. 

To set up the process, on the E-Documents Service page, choose one of the following options in the Processing field: 

    • One-step: Business Central uses your e-document setup to automatically create a purchase document based on the received e-document. 

    • Two steps: Business Central creates the e-document, but you must use the Create Invoice or Create Order actions to create the purchase document. This allows you to review the document you received before proceeding.

Preview incoming e-invoices prior to processing

Feature Details

When you receive an incoming e-document from an external service or manually upload one, it’s typically in XML or similar format that can be difficult, if not impossible, to read. For example, if you aren’t technical and don’t understand the XML format, it’ll be hard to thoroughly review an invoice before you process it. To make it easier for everyone to review incoming e-documents, invoices and credit memos have an E-invoice LinesFastTab that displays details from the imported file, such as line and header information, in a way that’s easy to understand.
This feature is only available for invoice and credit memo types of incoming e-documents.

Export reminders and finance charges as PEPPOL files 

Feature Details

Previously, you couldn’t create e-documents for reminders and finance charges. Now, the PEPPOL format accepts financial values from issued finance charges and issued reminders. 

To activate these types of documents, run the Supported Document Types action on the E-Document Service page. Add the finance charge and reminder document types on the E-Document Service Supported Source Document Types page. Business Central can then generate a file that’s formatted as an invoice and contains the financial values from these documents.

Use e-documents to fix unposted purchase credit memos  

Feature Details

If you accidentally delete a purchase credit memo, you can’t proceed with the e-document connection with the regular purchase document in Business Central. You can run the Recreate Document action from the e-document to get yourself unstuck. The action creates an unposted purchase credit memo based on information in the incoming document and the G/L mapping or item references used.

Use streamlined product design tools in manufacturing 

Feature Details

You can save a step by adding multiple items to the production BOM or production order components. When working with a production BOM, production BOM version, or editing components in a planning worksheet or production order, you can use the Select item’s action to select and add multiple items. 

Go to active production BOM version from Item Card and Item list pages 

Sometimes companies need to make an adjustment to a production BOM. Rather than create an entirely new production BOM, you can update the current one by creating a version of it. Creating a version lets you keep the original production BOM in case you need it for reference, but use the new version in production. The starting date and status fields define which version to use. In this release, you can easily go to the certified BOM or BOM version that’s valid on the work date by choosing the Prod. Active BOM Version action. 

BOM version matrix page includes original BOM as baseline.

Use the Production BOM Version Comparison page to view a list of all production BOM versions and items and the quantity used per item. You can use the matrix to compare different production BOM versions concerning the used items per version, including the original BOM as the first column.

Key Enhancements in Supply Chain Management

Generate a CSRD preparation report

Feature Details

A new Default Sust. Account field is available in the following tables: 

    • G/L Account 

    • Item 

    • Item Category 

    • Resource 

    • Work Center 

    • Machine Center 

Suppose you fill in the Default Sust. Account field in the Item Category table, items assigned to the category inherit the value. 

Additionally, there are new Default CO2 Emission, Default CH4 Emission, and Default N2O Emission fields in the Item, Resource, Work Center, and Machine Center tables. You can edit the values in these fields on the Item card if you specify Purchase in the Replenishment System field for the items. Otherwise, Business Central calculates the values. If these fields have a value and you change the selection in the Replenishment System field, a message warns you that the values in the emission fields will be removed. 

To use these fields, you must enable them on the Sustainability Setup page. Requiring configuration means less clutter in the user experience for businesses that don’t want to use them. 

Suppose you specify a value in the Default Sust. Account field, and you work with purchase documents or general journals, the value transfers to the related Sustainability Account and Emission Amount fields.

Specify default sustainability values for various entities

Feature Details

A new Default Sust. Account field is available in the following tables:
● G/L Account
● Item
● Item Category
● Resource
● Work Center
● Machine Center
If you fill in the Default Sust. Account field in the Item Category table, items assigned to the category inherit the value.

Additionally, there are new Default CO2 Emission, Default CH4 Emission, and Default
N2O Emission fields in the Item, Resource, Work Center, and Machine Center tables.
You can edit the values in these fields on the Item card if you specify Purchase in the
Replenishment System field for the items. Otherwise, Business Central calculates the
values. If these fields have a value and you change the selection in the Replenishment System field, a message warns you that the values in the emission fields will be removed.

To use these fields, you must enable them on the Sustainability Setup page. Requiring configuration means less clutter in the user experience for businesses that don’t want to use them.

If you specify a value in the Default Sust. Account field, and you work with Purchase
documents or general journals, the value transfers to the related Sustainability Account and Emission Amount fields.

Enable taxonomy elements for ESRS and other standards

Feature Details

You can set up taxonomies in Business Central using various transactional data sources. The initial setups are prepared for the demo data, but you can adjust them to meet your specific needs. After configuration, you can aggregate existing data based on these taxonomies. 

After you aggregate data for a specific reporting period, you can integrate with the ESG Reporting tool to prepare the data for reporting. Because Business Central doesn’t contain all the data needed for CSRD reporting, you can switch to the ESG Reporting tool, where you’ll find a pre-configured CSRD template where you can add any missing metrics so you can generate the reporting file.

Capture sustainability data with general journals

Feature Details

If you have emission details related to your financial data, you can post both types of
data in a single line on the General Journals page. Just open a general journal and add the usual financial details. Then select the Sustainability Account, and enter the
emission amounts you track for each account in the Total Emission CO2, Total
Emission CH4, and Total Emission N2O fields. On the General Ledger Entries page,
you can easily find the related Sustainability Entry using the Find entries action. This
information is also available on the Posted General Journal page.

Use water and waste management with sustainability 

Feature Details

You can use the Sustainability Journals and Recurring Sustainability Journals pages to record water and waste intensity data, based on the existing Chart of Sustainability Accounts, but using new Emission Scopes – Water and Waste. You can use different account groups, subgroups, and formulas to make the collection of water and waste intensity as easy as possible. This feature also uses existing Sustainability Ledger Entries where data is recorded and used for reporting, so you can report gas emissions and water and waste from a single source. 

You can specifically track Water Intensity, Discharged Into Water, and Waste Intensity, using Water/Waste Intensity Type (Withdrawn, Discharged, Consumed, Recycled, Generated, Disposed, Recovered) and Water Type (Surface water, Sea water, Groundwater, Third party water, Produced water). Sustainability Goals are also extended to cover water and waste management features.

Enable sustainability Scope 3 value chain for
assembly and transfers

Feature Details

This feature allows the calculation of CO2e for regular transferred items and for
assembly items by using initial emissions data from purchase documents and adding
emissions from through transfer or assembly order processes.

To facilitate the calculation, the new CO2e per Unit and Total CO2e fields are available on the Transfer Orders and Assembly Orders pages. For Transfer Orders, you can increase these values only for transferred items. For Assembly Orders, Business
Central uses emissions from consumed items and resources to calculate the total
emission of CO2e for the assembled item.

The values in these fields are calculated using the Average method from the
Sustainability Value Entries page. With each posting, Business Central adds new values to the Sustainability Value Entry related to the specific transaction. These entries don’t post to the Sustainability Ledger Entry, but only to the Sustainability Value Entry to avoid double postings for the same emissions. These entries are related only to the item emission valuation.

Provide carbon equivalent data for sales based on Scope 3 automation

Feature Details

Business Central can accurately calculate item emissions based on values in
Sustainability Value Entries currently only use the Average method. These
values are used to add the calculated, read-only CO2e per Unit and Total CO2e fields
on lines on sales documents. Note that this release doesn’t extend document reports to include the additional CO2e emission values.

Use ESG Reporting integrated with Business Central

Feature Details

Business Central users can leverage the Sustainability module to measure
environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and waste
intensity while maintaining data required for compliance reporting. You can also use
features such as statistical accounts to track and measure social and governance
impacts.

This functionality allows you to collect sustainability data and align it with regulatory
taxonomies required for reporting under various standards, such as Corporate
Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Business Responsibility and
Sustainability Reporting (BRSR). After you collect and aggregate data in Business
Central, you can seamlessly transfer it to the Project ESG Reporting app, where you
can add more text or contextual information as needed. The reporting process ends with the generation of regulatory-compliant files for submission, which streamlines the entire sustainability reporting workflow.

Start value chain in the purchase process for Scope 3 in sustainability

Feature Details

Scope 3 is significant for accurate tracking because it represents the majority of
emissions, influences business decisions, and aligns with many regulations. Scope 3 is
also probably the most complex for measuring because it requires data from multiple sources. For example, from vendors, but also internal operations such as transfers, manufacturing, and so on.

When you post emission values with purchase invoices, Business Central creates a
sustainability ledger entry, as usual. It also creates and a new sustainability value entry that references the item ledger entry with the same item ledger entry type, and records details related to the calculated CO2e Amount. This marks the beginning of the emission valuation process, where Business Central tracks all emission changes
through other processes. This feature in purchase documents currently applies only to items. It doesn’t yet support item charges for adding additional emissions. Also, this release supports only the Average model of emission calculation

Use sustainability Scope 3 value chain in manufacturing

Feature Details

This feature allows you to calculate CO2e for finished goods by using raw material
emissions data from purchase documents and adding emissions from manufacturing
processes.

To facilitate this, the new CO2e per Unit and Total CO2e fields are available on the
following pages:

  • Production BOM.
  • Routing.
  • Components.
  • Operations
  • Production.
  • Order Lines.
  • Consumption.
  • Output Journals.

On the Production BOM page, these fields get their values from the emission details of items. On the Routing page, they’re based on emission details from the Work and
Machine Centers pages.

These fields are calculated using the Average method from the Sustainability Value
Entries page. You can view the calculated values on the production order by running the Refresh Production Order action. Each time you post, Business Central adds new
values to the Sustainability Value Entry page related to the finished goods. The values
are based on the consumption of raw materials and the output of operations.

The consumption and output entries create a Sustainability Value Entry linked to the
Item Ledger Entry, with the output entry also connected to the Capacity Ledger Entry.
To avoid double postings for the same emissions, these entries don’t post to the
Sustainability Ledger Entry, but only to the Sustainability Value Entry. These entries are related only to the item emission valuation.

Mock outbound HTTP client web service calls during testing 

Feature Details

AL developers can easily mock out HttpClient Get/Put/Delete/Post calls in unit tests. The idea is to allow easy substitutions of the responses of HttpClient calls in unit tests by introducing a new handler function to intercept HttpClient calls. 

The signature is expected to be: 

Copy 

[HttpClientHandler] 

procedure MyHandler(path: Text/Uri; requestType: HttpRequestType; var response: TestHttpResponseMessage; var success: Boolean): boolean 

The default behaviour will be to prevent making an actual request, but there should be the option to do so by changing the exit value.

Use E-Docs with Power Automate and other Solutions with APIs

Feature Details

With enabled APIs, sharing sales electronic documents from Business Central to other applications or services becomes seamless. Integrating the E-Documents app in Business Central with Power Automate allows you to connect to Power Platform tools and other systems for enhanced functionality. This setup allows sending e-documents as BLOB files through various communication channels beyond default connectors or email. Additionally, the integration supports automating the receipt of electronic documents in the purchasing process, transferring them to the E-Documents tables for further processing within Business Central.

To find out more about this great feature and how it can help your warehouse operations, visit the Microsoft Website.

Send e-documents via a service and email simultaneously 

Feature Details

Previously, you could either send e-documents through a connector service or download the file and email it. Now, you have more options for handling e-documents in sales. 

If you choose the Post action from the Sales Order, Sales Invoice or Sales Credit Memo pages, Business Central posts the document as usual, but it can also trigger a workflow to create an e-document. That requires you to have an e-document workflow configured for the customer. But, if you choose Post and Send, Business Central does the same but also sends the e-document via email as an attachment. 

Depending on whether you enable the e-documents workflow, you can choose one of the following models for sending documents in the sales process: 

    • Use the Post action from the document, and Service Integration is enabled on the E-Document Service page. The e-document is sent to the configured access point. 

    • Use the Post and Send action from the document, and Service Integration is enabled in the E-Document Service page. The e-document is sent to the configured access point and as an attachment in an email. 

    • Use the Post action from the document. Service Integration isn’t enabled on the E-Document Service page. The e-document has been created and is ready to download.
    • Use the Post and Send action from the document, and Service Integration isn’t enabled on the E-Document Service page. The e-document is sent by email.

Import and export more data using Shopify meta fields 

Feature Details

Shopify’s platform includes data models for basic commerce concepts. However, commerce is diverse and often requires more complex or specific data models. The custom data platform lets you extend Shopify’s data models and create your own by using metafields. Metafields are a flexible way to add and store additional information about a Shopify resource, such as a product, customer, or company. The additional information stored in meta fields can be almost anything related to a resource. Some examples are preferences, credit limit, loyalty programmes, social media links, or segment information. 

We’ve added the ability to import and export data stored in metafields into Business Central. Also, an extensibility model allows developers to map standard or custom fields, attributes, or other related entries in Business Central to meta fields in Shopify. 

You can edit meta fields on the Shopify Metafields page, which you open from the Shopify Customers, Customer Card, Companies, or Company Card pages. 

Note 

You can edit the Shopify Metafields page in the following cases: 

    • For a Shopify customer, if the Customer Import from the Shopify field is set to None or With Order Import, the Can Update Shopify Customers toggle is turned on. 

    • For a Shopify company, if the Company Import from the Shopify field is set to None or With Order Import, and the Can Update Shopify Companies toggle is turned on. 

When you add a new record, the connector immediately sends a request to Shopify and stores the entry only when it gets a response with the Shopify ID for the meta field. You can’t edit types that have AssistEdit functionality defined directly on the line. 

Also, if standard meta fields are defined, you can use the Get Meta field Definitions action to get the list from Shopify. All supported metafields are imported. You only need to update the values. 

The new Sync Product/Variant Meta fields to Shopify, Sync Customer meta fields to Shopify, and Sync Company meta fields to Shopify actions on the Shopify Shop Card page let you specify whether to synch synchronise fields when you synch synchroniser from Shopify. Those settings can be useful for sync performance if you don’t rely on meta fields but have large product or customer lists.

Use Payments with the E-Document Framework

Feature Details

You can mark whether an e-document is fully paid, partially paid, or unpaid. This
information is sent (accounts payable) or received (accounts receivable) through access points based on your e-document configuration. The payment tracking feature in e-documents includes details such as:

  • Date of payment collection
  • Amount collected, including VAT
  • Base amount and VAT amount at the time of payment

Troubleshoot export issues on Shopify Skipped Records page 

Feature Details

When you export data to Shopify, the Shopify Connector skips records that Shopify will reject or that aren’t valid for export for other reasons. While the behaviour is expected, you might be confused if some information wasn’t processed as you expected. You can now find those entries on the Shopify Skipped Records page, which shows all skipped records and provides the reasons and the date and time the records were skipped. 

Cases that the Shopify Connector logs 

Customer: 

    • A customer has an empty email. 

    • A customer with the same email or phone number exists. 

Posted sales invoice: 

    • Customer doesn’t exist in Shopify. 

    • Payment term mapping is missing. 

    • Customer number is the default customer number for the Shopify Shop. 

    • Customer number is used in the Shopify customer template. 

    • No lines exist in the sales invoice. 

    • Invalid (negative or fractional) quantity. 

    • Empty number value. 

Product: 

    • Item is blocked/sales blocked (item variant). 

    • Item is blocked. 

    • Item description is empty. 

Catalogue: 

    • Price sync if the catalogue isn’t found in Shopify. 

Shipments: 

    • Related Shopify order doesn’t exist. 

    • No lines in the posted sales shipment are applicable for fulfilment. 

    • No corresponding fulfilment is found in Shopify. 

If you run sync in the foreground, you will be notified if records are skipped. Choose View Skipped Records to open the Shopify Skipped Records page. 

Setup 

The Logging Mode field controls the content of the Shopify Skipped Records page. Note that the All option works in the same way as Error Only and logs only skipped entries. It won’t log entries that were previously skipped.

Generate multiple incoming e-documents for
multiple attachments

Feature Details

You can generate multiple new incoming e-documents by selecting the New From File action on the E-Documents page. Choose the appropriate service for the correct
Document Format, and then upload multiple documents. Business Central processes all uploaded documents and creates a new incoming E-Document for each file if their format matches the chosen Document Format.

Automate embedded attachments in PEPPOL 

Feature Details

The introduction of the ability to encode attachments in the PEPPOL file format in Business Central 2024 release wave 2 provided the benefit of additional automation. You can automate the process of embedding sales document attachments in the PEPPOL file format. When you post a document, Business Central creates a PDF file and embeds it in the PEPPOL format, including both the full XML and a human-readable format. 

During the purchase process, Business Central can process PEPPOL files with embedded attachments (invoices), decompose the embedded file, add it as an attachment to the e-document record, and make it available on the E-Document page for further processing.

Create e-documents from posted sales invoices 

Feature Details

If there was a problem with your setup for e-documents, and Business Central didn’t create a related e-document when you posted a sales invoice, for example, you can quickly create one yourself. To check whether Business Central created an e-document, open the Posted Sales Invoice page and select the Open E-Document action. If you don’t find a related e-document, you can run the Create New E-Document action to generate one based on the workflow rules. If a related e-document does exist, you can’t use the action. 

To find out more about this great feature and how it can help your warehouse operations, visit the Microsoft Website.

Process e-documents in two steps 

Feature Details

You can choose whether to use automatic processing for purchase documents, where Business Central creates new documents right away, or a two-step process that requires explicit confirmation before creating a purchase document. In the two-step process, Business Central creates the e-document, but then you must confirm it before you can take the next step. 

To set up the process, on the E-Documents Service page, choose one of the following options in the Processing field: 

    • One-step: Business Central uses your e-document setup to automatically create a purchase document based on the received e-document. 

    • Two steps: Business Central creates the e-document, but you must use the Create Invoice or Create Order actions to create the purchase document. This allows you to review the document you received before proceeding.

Preview incoming e-invoices prior to processing

Feature Details

When you receive an incoming e-document from an external service or manually upload one, it’s typically in XML or similar format that can be difficult, if not impossible, to read. For example, if you aren’t technical and don’t understand the XML format, it’ll be hard to thoroughly review an invoice before you process it. To make it easier for everyone to review incoming e-documents, invoices and credit memos have an E-invoice LinesFastTab that displays details from the imported file, such as line and header information, in a way that’s easy to understand.
This feature is only available for invoice and credit memo types of incoming e-documents.

To find out more about this great feature and how it can help your warehouse operations, visit the Microsoft Website.

Export reminders and finance charges as PEPPOL files 

Feature Details

Previously, you couldn’t create e-documents for reminders and finance charges. Now, the PEPPOL format accepts financial values from issued finance charges and issued reminders. 

To activate these types of documents, run the Supported Document Types action on the E-Document Service page. Add the finance charge and reminder document types on the E-Document Service Supported Source Document Types page. Business Central can then generate a file that’s formatted as an invoice and contains the financial values from these documents.

Use e-documents to fix unposted purchase credit memos  

Feature Details

If you accidentally delete a purchase credit memo, you can’t proceed with the e-document connection with the regular purchase document in Business Central. You can run the Recreate Document action from the e-document to get yourself unstuck. The action creates an unposted purchase credit memo based on information in the incoming document and the G/L mapping or item references used.

You can save a step by adding multiple items to the production BOM or production order components. When working with a production BOM, production BOM version, or editing components in a planning worksheet or production order, you can use the Select item’s action to select and add multiple items. 

Go to active production BOM version from Item Card and Item list pages 

Sometimes companies need to make an adjustment to a production BOM. Rather than create an entirely new production BOM, you can update the current one by creating a version of it. Creating a version lets you keep the original production BOM in case you need it for reference, but use the new version in production. The starting date and status fields define which version to use. In this release, you can easily go to the certified BOM or BOM version that’s valid on the work date by choosing the Prod. Active BOM Version action. 

BOM version matrix page includes original BOM as baseline.

Use the Production BOM Version Comparison page to view a list of all production BOM versions and items and the quantity used per item. You can use the matrix to compare different production BOM versions concerning the used items per version, including the original BOM as the first column. This functionality ensures clear visibility of all BOM versions and their respective quantities. 

The Production BOM Version Comparison page provides better usability and replaces the Prod. BOM Matrix per Version page.

Key Enhancements in Supply Chain Management

Generate a CSRD preparation report

Feature Details

A new Default Sust. Account field is available in the following tables: 

    • G/L Account 

    • Item 

    • Item Category 

    • Resource 

    • Work Center 

    • Machine Center 

Suppose you fill in the Default Sust. Account field in the Item Category table, items assigned to the category inherit the value. 

Additionally, there are new Default CO2 Emission, Default CH4 Emission, and Default N2O Emission fields in the Item, Resource, Work Center, and Machine Center tables. You can edit the values in these fields on the Item card if you specify Purchase in the Replenishment System field for the items. Otherwise, Business Central calculates the values. If these fields have a value and you change the selection in the Replenishment System field, a message warns you that the values in the emission fields will be removed. 

To use these fields, you must enable them on the Sustainability Setup page. Requiring configuration means less clutter in the user experience for businesses that don’t want to use them. 

Suppose you specify a value in the Default Sust. Account field, and you work with purchase documents or general journals, the value transfers to the related Sustainability Account and Emission Amount fields.

Specify default sustainability values for various entities

Feature Details

A new Default Sust. Account field is available in the following tables:
● G/L Account
● Item
● Item Category
● Resource
● Work Center
● Machine Center
If you fill in the Default Sust. Account field in the Item Category table, items assigned to the category inherit the value.

Additionally, there are new Default CO2 Emission, Default CH4 Emission, and Default
N2O Emission fields in the Item, Resource, Work Center, and Machine Center tables.
You can edit the values in these fields on the Item card if you specify Purchase in the
Replenishment System field for the items. Otherwise, Business Central calculates the
values. If these fields have a value and you change the selection in the Replenishment System field, a message warns you that the values in the emission fields will be removed.

To use these fields, you must enable them on the Sustainability Setup page. Requiring configuration means less clutter in the user experience for businesses that don’t want to use them.

If you specify a value in the Default Sust. Account field, and you work with Purchase
documents or general journals, the value transfers to the related Sustainability Account and Emission Amount fields.

Enable taxonomy elements for ESRS and other standards

Feature Details

You can set up taxonomies in Business Central using various transactional data sources. The initial setups are prepared for the demo data, but you can adjust them to meet your specific needs. After configuration, you can aggregate existing data based on these taxonomies. 

After you aggregate data for a specific reporting period, you can integrate with the ESG Reporting tool to prepare the data for reporting. Because Business Central doesn’t contain all the data needed for CSRD reporting, you can switch to the ESG Reporting tool, where you’ll find a pre-configured CSRD template where you can add any missing metrics so you can generate the reporting file.

Capture sustainability data with general journals

Feature Details

If you have emission details related to your financial data, you can post both types of
data in a single line on the General Journals page. Just open a general journal and add the usual financial details. Then select the Sustainability Account, and enter the
emission amounts you track for each account in the Total Emission CO2, Total
Emission CH4, and Total Emission N2O fields. On the General Ledger Entries page,
you can easily find the related Sustainability Entry using the Find entries action. This
information is also available on the Posted General Journal page.

Use water and waste management with sustainability 

Feature Details

You can use the Sustainability Journals and Recurring Sustainability Journals pages to record water and waste intensity data, based on the existing Chart of Sustainability Accounts, but using new Emission Scopes – Water and Waste. You can use different account groups, subgroups, and formulas to make the collection of water and waste intensity as easy as possible. This feature also uses existing Sustainability Ledger Entries where data is recorded and used for reporting, so you can report gas emissions and water and waste from a single source. 

You can specifically track Water Intensity, Discharged Into Water, and Waste Intensity, using Water/Waste Intensity Type (Withdrawn, Discharged, Consumed, Recycled, Generated, Disposed, Recovered) and Water Type (Surface water, Sea water, Groundwater, Third party water, Produced water). Sustainability Goals are also extended to cover water and waste management features.

Enable sustainability Scope 3 value chain for
assembly and transfers

Feature Details

This feature allows the calculation of CO2e for regular transferred items and for
assembly items by using initial emissions data from purchase documents and adding
emissions from through transfer or assembly order processes.

To facilitate the calculation, the new CO2e per Unit and Total CO2e fields are available on the Transfer Orders and Assembly Orders pages. For Transfer Orders, you can increase these values only for transferred items. For Assembly Orders, Business
Central uses emissions from consumed items and resources to calculate the total
emission of CO2e for the assembled item.

The values in these fields are calculated using the Average method from the
Sustainability Value Entries page. With each posting, Business Central adds new values to the Sustainability Value Entry related to the specific transaction. These entries don’t post to the Sustainability Ledger Entry, but only to the Sustainability Value Entry to avoid double postings for the same emissions. These entries are related only to the item emission valuation.

To find out more about this great feature and how it can help your warehouse operations, visit the Microsoft Website.

Provide carbon equivalent data for sales based on Scope 3 automation

Feature Details

Business Central can accurately calculate item emissions based on values in
Sustainability Value Entries currently only use the Average method. These
values are used to add the calculated, read-only CO2e per Unit and Total CO2e fields
on lines on sales documents. Note that this release doesn’t extend document reports to include the additional CO2e emission values.

Use ESG Reporting integrated with Business Central

Feature Details

Business Central users can leverage the Sustainability module to measure
environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and waste
intensity while maintaining data required for compliance reporting. You can also use
features such as statistical accounts to track and measure social and governance
impacts.

This functionality allows you to collect sustainability data and align it with regulatory
taxonomies required for reporting under various standards, such as Corporate
Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Business Responsibility and
Sustainability Reporting (BRSR). After you collect and aggregate data in Business
Central, you can seamlessly transfer it to the Project ESG Reporting app, where you
can add more text or contextual information as needed. The reporting process ends with the generation of regulatory-compliant files for submission, which streamlines the entire sustainability reporting workflow.

To find out more about this great feature and how it can help your warehouse operations, visit the Microsoft Website.

Start value chain in the purchase process for Scope 3 in sustainability

Feature Details

Scope 3 is significant for accurate tracking because it represents the majority of
emissions, influences business decisions, and aligns with many regulations. Scope 3 is
also probably the most complex for measuring because it requires data from multiple sources. For example, from vendors, but also internal operations such as transfers, manufacturing, and so on.

When you post emission values with purchase invoices, Business Central creates a
sustainability ledger entry, as usual. It also creates and a new sustainability value entry that references the item ledger entry with the same item ledger entry type, and records details related to the calculated CO2e Amount. This marks the beginning of the emission valuation process, where Business Central tracks all emission changes
through other processes. This feature in purchase documents currently applies only to items. It doesn’t yet support item charges for adding additional emissions. Also, this release supports only the Average model of emission calculation

To find out more about this great feature and how it can help your warehouse operations, visit the Microsoft Website.

Use sustainability Scope 3 value chain in manufacturing

Feature Details

This feature allows you to calculate CO2e for finished goods by using raw material
emissions data from purchase documents and adding emissions from manufacturing
processes.

To facilitate this, the new CO2e per Unit and Total CO2e fields are available on the
following pages:

  • Production BOM.
  • Routing.
  • Components.
  • Operations
  • Production.
  • Order Lines.
  • Consumption.
  • Output Journals.

On the Production BOM page, these fields get their values from the emission details of items. On the Routing page, they’re based on emission details from the Work and
Machine Centers pages.

These fields are calculated using the Average method from the Sustainability Value
Entries page. You can view the calculated values on the production order by running the Refresh Production Order action. Each time you post, Business Central adds new
values to the Sustainability Value Entry page related to the finished goods. The values
are based on the consumption of raw materials and the output of operations.

The consumption and output entries create a Sustainability Value Entry linked to the
Item Ledger Entry, with the output entry also connected to the Capacity Ledger Entry.
To avoid double postings for the same emissions, these entries don’t post to the
Sustainability Ledger Entry, but only to the Sustainability Value Entry. These entries are related only to the item emission valuation.

Send e-documents via a service and email simultaneously 

Feature Details

Previously, you could either send e-documents through a connector service or download the file and email it. Now, you have more options for handling e-documents in sales. 

If you choose the Post action from the Sales Order, Sales Invoice or Sales Credit Memo pages, Business Central posts the document as usual, but it can also trigger a workflow to create an e-document. That requires you to have an e-document workflow configured for the customer. But, if you choose Post and Send, Business Central does the same but also sends the e-document via email as an attachment. 

Depending on whether you enable the e-documents workflow, you can choose one of the following models for sending documents in the sales process:

Import and export more data using Shopify meta fields 

Feature Details

Shopify’s platform includes data models for basic commerce concepts. However, commerce is diverse and often requires more complex or specific data models. The custom data platform lets you extend Shopify’s data models and create your own by using metafields. Metafields are a flexible way to add and store additional information about a Shopify resource, such as a product, customer, or company. The additional information stored in meta fields can be almost anything related to a resource. Some examples are preferences, credit limit, loyalty programmes, social media links, or segment information. 

We’ve added the ability to import and export data stored in metafields into Business Central. Also, an extensibility model allows developers to map standard or custom fields, attributes, or other related entries in Business Central to meta fields in Shopify. 

You can edit meta fields on the Shopify Metafields page, which you open from the Shopify Customers, Customer Card, Companies, or Company Card pages. 

Note 

You can edit the Shopify Metafields page in the following cases: 

When you add a new record, the connector immediately sends a request to Shopify and stores the entry only when it gets a response with the Shopify ID for the meta field. You can’t edit types that have AssistEdit functionality defined directly on the line. 

Also, if standard meta fields are defined, you can use the Get Meta field Definitions action to get the list from Shopify. All supported metafields are imported. You only need to update the values. 

The new Sync Product/Variant Meta fields to Shopify, Sync Customer meta fields to Shopify, and Sync Company meta fields to Shopify actions on the Shopify Shop Card page let you specify whether to synch synchronise fields when you synch synchroniser from Shopify. Those settings can be useful for sync performance if you don’t rely on meta fields but have large product or customer lists.

Troubleshoot export issues on Shopify Skipped Records page 

Feature Details

When you export data to Shopify, the Shopify Connector skips records that Shopify will reject or that aren’t valid for export for other reasons. While the behaviour is expected, you might be confused if some information wasn’t processed as you expected. You can now find those entries on the Shopify Skipped Records page, which shows all skipped records and provides the reasons and the date and time the records were skipped. 

Cases that the Shopify Connector logs 

Customer: 

Posted sales invoice: 

Product: 

Catalogue: 

Shipments: 

If you run sync in the foreground, you will be notified if records are skipped. Choose View Skipped Records to open the Shopify Skipped Records page. 

Setup 

The Logging Mode field controls the content of the Shopify Skipped Records page. Note that the All option works in the same way as Error Only and logs only skipped entries. It won’t log entries that were previously skipped.

Automate embedded attachments in PEPPOL 

Feature Details

The introduction of the ability to encode attachments in the PEPPOL file format in Business Central 2024 release wave 2 provided the benefit of additional automation. You can automate the process of embedding sales document attachments in the PEPPOL file format. When you post a document, Business Central creates a PDF file and embeds it in the PEPPOL format, including both the full XML and a human-readable format. 

During the purchase process, Business Central can process PEPPOL files with embedded attachments (invoices), decompose the embedded file, add it as an attachment to the e-document record, and make it available on the E-Document page for further processing.

Create e-documents from posted sales invoices 

Feature Details

If there was a problem with your setup for e-documents, and Business Central didn’t create a related e-document when you posted a sales invoice, for example, you can quickly create one yourself. To check whether Business Central created an e-document, open the Posted Sales Invoice page and select the Open E-Document action. If you don’t find a related e-document, you can run the Create New E-Document action to generate one based on the workflow rules. If a related e-document does exist, you can’t use the action.

Process e-documents in two steps 

Feature Details

You can choose whether to use automatic processing for purchase documents, where Business Central creates new documents right away, or a two-step process that requires explicit confirmation before creating a purchase document. In the two-step process, Business Central creates the e-document, but then you must confirm it before you can take the next step. 

To set up the process, on the E-Documents Service page, choose one of the following options in the Processing field:

Preview incoming e-invoices prior to processing

Feature Details

When you receive an incoming e-document from an external service or manually upload one, it’s typically in XML or similar format that can be difficult, if not impossible, to read. For example, if you aren’t technical and don’t understand the XML format, it’ll be hard to thoroughly review an invoice before you process it. To make it easier for everyone to review incoming e-documents, invoices and credit memos have an E-invoice LinesFastTab that displays details from the imported file, such as line and header information, in a way that’s easy to understand.
This feature is only available for invoice and credit memo types of incoming e-documents.

To find out more about this great feature and how it can help your warehouse operations, visit the Microsoft Website.

Export reminders and finance charges as PEPPOL files 

Feature Details

Previously, you couldn’t create e-documents for reminders and finance charges. Now, the PEPPOL format accepts financial values from issued finance charges and issued reminders. 

To activate these types of documents, run the Supported Document Types action on the E-Document Service page. Add the finance charge and reminder document types on the E-Document Service Supported Source Document Types page. Business Central can then generate a file that’s formatted as an invoice and contains the financial values from these documents.

Use e-documents to fix unposted purchase credit memos  

Feature Details

If you accidentally delete a purchase credit memo, you can’t proceed with the e-document connection with the regular purchase document in Business Central. You can run the Recreate Document action from the e-document to get yourself unstuck. The action creates an unposted purchase credit memo based on information in the incoming document and the G/L mapping or item references used.

Avoid document number errors when you post project journals 

Feature Details

On the Project Journals page, the Document No. field is editable so that you can specify different document numbers for different journal lines, or the same document number for related journal lines. 

If a number series is specified in the No. In the series field on the project journal batch, document numbers for individual or grouped lines must be in sequential order when you post a project journal. If they aren’t, you can’t post the journal. To avoid getting stuck, you can use the Renumber Document Numbers action on the Project Journals page before you post the journal. If related journal lines were grouped by document number before you used the action, they’ll stay grouped but might be assigned a different document number.

Handle production output with warehouse put-aways 

Feature Details

Setup instructions 

To enable this feature, on the Location Card page, in the Prod Output Whse Handling field, select Warehouse Put-away. 

 Note 

For locations where Directed Put-away and Pick is enabled, make the field editable and allow the selection of No warehouse handling or Warehouse put-away. You can’t select the Inventory Put-away option. 

You won’t be able to activate warehouse put-away if released production orders exist on the selected location. 

Use case 

When you post production output for a location where the Prod Output Whse Handling field is set to Warehouse Put-away, based on the setting in the Location Card page, the warehouse put-away document is either created automatically or you’ll need to use the Warehouse Put-Away Worksheet page. 

If you delete a warehouse put-away, you can manually create a new one using the Create warehouse put-away action on the Release Product Order or Finished Prod Order pages. 

 Note 

You can’t have production order lines with different locations with Prod Output Whse Handling set to Warehouse Put-away. To resolve this, use different production orders. 

You can’t cancel output if there are outstanding or completed put-aways. 

The Renumber Document Numbers action also works on filtered views.

Use streamlined product design tools in manufacturing 

Feature Details

You can save a step by adding multiple items to the production BOM or production order components. When working with a production BOM, production BOM version, or editing components in a planning worksheet or production order, you can use the Select item’s action to select and add multiple items. 

Go to active production BOM version from Item Card and Item list pages 

Sometimes companies need to make an adjustment to a production BOM. Rather than create an entirely new production BOM, you can update the current one by creating a version of it. Creating a version lets you keep the original production BOM in case you need it for reference, but use the new version in production. The starting date and status fields define which version to use. In this release, you can easily go to the certified BOM or BOM version that’s valid on the work date by choosing the Prod. Active BOM Version action. 

BOM version matrix page includes original BOM as baseline.

Use the Production BOM Version Comparison page to view a list of all production BOM versions and items and the quantity used per item. You can use the matrix to compare different production BOM versions concerning the used items per version, including the original BOM as the first column. This functionality ensures clear visibility of all BOM versions and their respective quantities. 

The Production BOM Version Comparison page provides better usability and replaces the Prod. BOM Matrix per Version page.

Key Enhancements in Supply Chain Management

Generate a CSRD preparation report

Feature Details

A new Default Sust. Account field is available in the following tables: 

Suppose you fill in the Default Sust. Account field in the Item Category table, items assigned to the category inherit the value. 

Additionally, there are new Default CO2 Emission, Default CH4 Emission, and Default N2O Emission fields in the Item, Resource, Work Center, and Machine Center tables. You can edit the values in these fields on the Item card if you specify Purchase in the Replenishment System field for the items. Otherwise, Business Central calculates the values. If these fields have a value and you change the selection in the Replenishment System field, a message warns you that the values in the emission fields will be removed. 

To use these fields, you must enable them on the Sustainability Setup page. Requiring configuration means less clutter in the user experience for businesses that don’t want to use them. 

Suppose you specify a value in the Default Sust. Account field, and you work with purchase documents or general journals, the value transfers to the related Sustainability Account and Emission Amount fields.

Enable taxonomy elements for ESRS and other standards

Feature Details

You can set up taxonomies in Business Central using various transactional data sources. The initial setups are prepared for the demo data, but you can adjust them to meet your specific needs. After configuration, you can aggregate existing data based on these taxonomies. 

After you aggregate data for a specific reporting period, you can integrate with the ESG Reporting tool to prepare the data for reporting. Because Business Central doesn’t contain all the data needed for CSRD reporting, you can switch to the ESG Reporting tool, where you’ll find a pre-configured CSRD template where you can add any missing metrics so you can generate the reporting file.

Capture sustainability data with general journals

Feature Details

If you have emission details related to your financial data, you can post both types of
data in a single line on the General Journals page. Just open a general journal and add the usual financial details. Then select the Sustainability Account, and enter the
emission amounts you track for each account in the Total Emission CO2, Total
Emission CH4, and Total Emission N2O fields. On the General Ledger Entries page,
you can easily find the related Sustainability Entry using the Find entries action. This
information is also available on the Posted General Journal page.

Use water and waste management with sustainability 

Feature Details

You can use the Sustainability Journals and Recurring Sustainability Journals pages to record water and waste intensity data, based on the existing Chart of Sustainability Accounts, but using new Emission Scopes – Water and Waste. You can use different account groups, subgroups, and formulas to make the collection of water and waste intensity as easy as possible. This feature also uses existing Sustainability Ledger Entries where data is recorded and used for reporting, so you can report gas emissions and water and waste from a single source. 

You can specifically track Water Intensity, Discharged Into Water, and Waste Intensity, using Water/Waste Intensity Type (Withdrawn, Discharged, Consumed, Recycled, Generated, Disposed, Recovered) and Water Type (Surface water, Sea water, Groundwater, Third party water, Produced water). Sustainability Goals are also extended to cover water and waste management features.

Enable sustainability Scope 3 value chain for
assembly and transfers

Feature Details

This feature allows the calculation of CO2e for regular transferred items and for
assembly items by using initial emissions data from purchase documents and adding
emissions from through transfer or assembly order processes.

To facilitate the calculation, the new CO2e per Unit and Total CO2e fields are available on the Transfer Orders and Assembly Orders pages. For Transfer Orders, you can increase these values only for transferred items. For Assembly Orders, Business
Central uses emissions from consumed items and resources to calculate the total
emission of CO2e for the assembled item.

The values in these fields are calculated using the Average method from the
Sustainability Value Entries page. With each posting, Business Central adds new values to the Sustainability Value Entry related to the specific transaction. These entries don’t post to the Sustainability Ledger Entry, but only to the Sustainability Value Entry to avoid double postings for the same emissions. These entries are related only to the item emission valuation.

To find out more about this great feature and how it can help your warehouse operations, visit the Microsoft Website.

Provide carbon equivalent data for sales based on Scope 3 automation

Feature Details

Business Central can accurately calculate item emissions based on values in
Sustainability Value Entries currently only use the Average method. These
values are used to add the calculated, read-only CO2e per Unit and Total CO2e fields
on lines on sales documents. Note that this release doesn’t extend document reports to include the additional CO2e emission values.

Use ESG Reporting integrated with Business Central

Feature Details

Business Central users can leverage the Sustainability module to measure
environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and waste
intensity while maintaining data required for compliance reporting. You can also use
features such as statistical accounts to track and measure social and governance
impacts.

This functionality allows you to collect sustainability data and align it with regulatory
taxonomies required for reporting under various standards, such as Corporate
Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Business Responsibility and
Sustainability Reporting (BRSR). After you collect and aggregate data in Business
Central, you can seamlessly transfer it to the Project ESG Reporting app, where you
can add more text or contextual information as needed. The reporting process ends with the generation of regulatory-compliant files for submission, which streamlines the entire sustainability reporting workflow.

Start value chain in the purchase process for Scope 3 in sustainability

Feature Details

Scope 3 is significant for accurate tracking because it represents the majority of
emissions, influences business decisions, and aligns with many regulations. Scope 3 is
also probably the most complex for measuring because it requires data from multiple sources. For example, from vendors, but also internal operations such as transfers, manufacturing, and so on.

When you post emission values with purchase invoices, Business Central creates a
sustainability ledger entry, as usual. It also creates and a new sustainability value entry that references the item ledger entry with the same item ledger entry type, and records details related to the calculated CO2e Amount. This marks the beginning of the emission valuation process, where Business Central tracks all emission changes
through other processes. This feature in purchase documents currently applies only to items. It doesn’t yet support item charges for adding additional emissions. Also, this release supports only the Average model of emission calculation

Use sustainability Scope 3 value chain in manufacturing

Feature Details

This feature allows you to calculate CO2e for finished goods by using raw material
emissions data from purchase documents and adding emissions from manufacturing
processes.

To facilitate this, the new CO2e per Unit and Total CO2e fields are available on the
following pages:

On the Production BOM page, these fields get their values from the emission details of items. On the Routing page, they’re based on emission details from the Work and
Machine Centers pages.

These fields are calculated using the Average method from the Sustainability Value
Entries page. You can view the calculated values on the production order by running the Refresh Production Order action. Each time you post, Business Central adds new
values to the Sustainability Value Entry page related to the finished goods. The values
are based on the consumption of raw materials and the output of operations.

The consumption and output entries create a Sustainability Value Entry linked to the
Item Ledger Entry, with the output entry also connected to the Capacity Ledger Entry.
To avoid double postings for the same emissions, these entries don’t post to the
Sustainability Ledger Entry, but only to the Sustainability Value Entry. These entries are related only to the item emission valuation.
