Mike Scalamogna highlights new features in Business Central
Microsoft has snuck two features into Dynamics 365 Business Central over the last few releases that I wanted to highlight:
Default line type on purchase invoices
We have been asked this question by every client who uses the Purchase Invoice screen to enter expenses into Business Central: why does the line type always default to “Item”? Can it be changed to a GL account to mirror my process more closely? Now it can. There is a field on the Purchases and Payables Setup screen where the default line type can be selected:
Copying Environments of Different Types
Previously, you could only copy a production environment to a sandbox environment. Now, you can copy:
- Production to production
- Sandbox to sandbox
- Sandbox to production
I am most excited about the last one: sandbox to production. This is especially useful during implementation as it allows you to complete most of the work on the implementation in a sandbox, and then copy the sandbox into a production environment for cutover. This could save hours in a project budget and also eliminate many duplicate efforts when it comes to recreating personalized screens, installing apps, and various other setup items.
