Back in January, Microsoft published the 2022 release wave 1 plans for Dynamics 365 and Power Platform. The plans provide an overview of all the new capabilities coming between April 2022 and September 2022. There are hundreds of new features and enhancements in the first wave, but this week we are diving into what’s coming to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
