Artificial intelligence is now an integral part of the business world in particular. With Microsoft Copilot, the first AI functions were therefore also established in Dynamics 365 Business Central some time ago. These were expanded again with the latest version.
With the last fall version of Dynamics 365 Business Central, various new Copilot features were introduced (some still in the preview version). For example, Copilot will allow product information to be created more quickly in future.
Create product information faster with Copilot
In today’s fast-moving business world, companies need to constantly develop and update their product portfolio in order to keep up with the market. Creating and managing product and item information in Business Central can sometimes take a lot of time. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the introduction of new products, changes to existing products or the addition of complete product lines and categories. This is not least due to the fact that product and item information is spread over several pages in the system.
After all, the main effort consists of retrieving information about existing items, inserting values and ensuring that the new product is ready for market launch. Creating variants, dimensions, units of measurement and other item-related information also takes time, which can further delay the time to market for new products. Copilot can reduce this effort in the future and thus shorten the processes for launching new items.
Search for similar products
In the current Business Central version, the basis has been created for defining similar items and storing them on the “Item Substitution Entry” page. Copilot then helps to add this data to current product information by searching for similar items in the database.
This means that Copilot can now support the addition and modification of product information by reusing information from similar items. The following information can be suggested for use: Substitutions, Dimensions, Variants and Units of Measure.
