Microsoft’s 2026 release wave 1 plans include a dedicated set of investments for Dynamics 365 Business Central, described as accelerating “the move to agentic ERP.”

What’s coming

  • Enhancements to AI-powered agents that automate sales and purchase scenarios.
  • Heavy investment in developer productivity for extensibility, specifically:
    • Improved AL (Advanced Language) testing
    • Improved debugging
    • Copilot extensibility
    • Agent design

This positions Business Central’s roadmap around two parallel tracks: automating more of the day-to-day sales/purchase workflow with agents, and making it easier for partners and ISVs to build and extend Copilot-powered capabilities on top of the platform.
