About this tag
Dynamics 365 Business Central is Microsoft's cloud ERP solution for small and midsize businesses. Discussions on WindowsForum cover performance optimization and data consistency when extending Business Central with AL for high-volume transactions, including batch job execution, database locking, and data integrity. Migration from legacy ERP systems and from Microsoft NAV is a recurring theme, with emphasis on minimizing disruption, preserving customizations, and cleaning up technical debt. Multi-company data synchronization using APIs, integration tables, and Dataverse is explored, along with automation through Job Queues and background sessions. The 2025 release wave introduces Copilot and autonomous AI agents for automating sales orders, payables, and invoice matching. Users also share best practices for optimizing complex workflows without heavy customization, using Power Automate and AL events, and discuss hidden costs in implementation such as customizations, integrations, ISV apps, data migration, training, and post-go-live support.
