Copilot and Business Central: Artificial Intelligence transforming Business Management
It is no surprise that Microsoft is clearly betting on three business areas: Azure, due to the growing business volume of this solution; Copilot, to lead technological innovation within the IT market; and Dynamics Business Central, due to the strong customer engagement that comes with implementing this solution.
As expected, the artificial intelligence assistant is gradually being integrated into BC to automate tasks, optimize decisions, and enhance companies' operational efficiency. This new functionality marks a turning point for ERP users. Copilot is designed to support and empower work teams, freeing them from repetitive tasks and allowing them to focus on strategic activities. Among its most notable capabilities are:• Automated bank reconciliation using AI, streamlining complex accounting processes.
• Real-time financial analysis, providing intelligent insights for faster and more informed decision-making.
• Predictive and customizable reports, tailored to each company's behavior and needs.
This integration not only improves daily efficiency but also transforms Business Central into a more intuitive, proactive, and predictive tool, aligned with the demands of the modern business environment.
Microsoft's commitment to AI is not isolated, but part of a broader strategy to make Business Central an increasingly intelligent, adaptable, and growth-oriented platform.
AI revolutionizes bank reconciliation in Business Central: operational precision and tangible value in the new ERP era
With the integration of Copilot and its evolution as an intelligent platform, Microsoft Business Central has begun to deeply transform key operational processes. One of the most notable advances is in bank reconciliation, a traditionally routine and error-prone task that now directly benefits from the power of artificial intelligence.
Smart bank reconciliation: less intervention, more control
Thanks to new AI-based capabilities, Business Central can now automatically identify, classify, and reconcile bank transactions based on historical patterns, transaction descriptions, and contextual learning. This allows the system to suggest and execute matches between bank movements and accounting entries with significantly greater accuracy than previous versions.
Moreover, AI learns from the company's accounting behavior: the more it is used, the more efficient and accurate it becomes at recognizing implicit rules, approximate amounts, or transactions with minor variations that previously required manual review.
Real efficiency for finance teams
This automation not only reduces time spent on repetitive tasks but also decreases human errors, improves traceability, and frees up the finance team to focus on analysis, forecasting, and control tasks.
For example:
• A company with a high volume of daily transactions can reduce monthly bank reconciliation time by more than 60%.
• End-of-period accounting adjustments due to undetected differences are minimized, improving the quality of financial reports.
This is a solution that not only automates but also interprets, learns, and optimizes critical business processes. AI-assisted bank reconciliation is just one example of how the ERP's value proposition is elevated with features that turn operational tasks into competitive advantages.
A platform that evolves with business needs
The commitment to artificial intelligence in processes like bank reconciliation reinforces Business Central as a platform ready for modern management: more connected, more proactive, and more strategic. For SMEs undergoing digital transformation, these improvements not only represent time savings but also a tangible improvement in financial control and the ability to scale without administrative friction.
Business Central strengthens its localization and electronic invoicing: more value, regulatory compliance, and operational control in the new ERP era
Microsoft has taken a firm step in the evolution of Business Central by enhancing its localization and electronic invoicing capabilities, responding to growing fiscal and regulatory demands in key markets such as Latin America and Europe. This evolution not only addresses the need for regulatory compliance but also positions Business Central as a platform ready to compete in highly regulated environments, with more automated and reliable processes.
Key advances in localization and electronic invoicing
Among the most notable improvements is the expansion of official support for localizations in new countries, as well as the continuous updating of existing ones. For example:
• In Mexico, Business Central already includes support for CFDI 4.0, with document validation, automatic cancellations, and integrated stamping via PAC (Authorized Certification Provider).
• In Brazil, integration with NFe and processes related to SPED fiscal has been improved, facilitating compliance in one of the most complex tax systems in the world.
• In Europe, countries like France, Italy, and Poland already have specific functionalities for SAF-T and digital reports required by tax authorities, with data export mechanisms ready for audit.
• In Spain, implementing the new state requirements, strengthening the SII, and analyzing the implementation of Verifactu for January 1, 2026, while preparing for the arrival of electronic invoicing, which is still pending the presentation of the regulation.
Automation and compliance: from obligation to added value
Automating tax compliance is one of the pillars of this evolution. It is now possible to generate legally valid electronic invoices from the ERP, with real-time validations, automated approval workflows, and complete traceability from the original document to its acceptance by the corresponding tax authority.
Additionally, new native integrations with government platforms (such as DIAN in Colombia or SII in Spain) allow companies to operate within the ERP without the need for external developments or intermediate solutions, reducing costs, risks, and implementation times.
A platform ready for global scalability
These capabilities not only address legal compliance in local markets but also allow companies operating in multiple countries to manage their operations in a single solution, without sacrificing adaptability or responsiveness to regulatory changes.
