New Feature Highlights from 28.3:
Try Payables Agent for Free - There are three key changes to the Trial Experience for the Payables Agent.
First, you no longer need to set up a new e-mail address internally to test out the Agent's capabilities.
Second, each trial now includes up to 50 invoices. Previously, Copilot Credits were utilized, and based on the invoices used for testing, it was difficult to track how many Credits were still available, and if you ran out, Copilot Credits would need to be purchased.
Third, due to both of the above changes, there is now the ability to upload a vendor invoice directly into the Payables Agent setup page to initiate testing. This makes the testing process significantly easier.

Use Subcontracting Capabilities in production processes - Accelerated depreciation is now a standard depreciation method in fixed assets. You can configure acceleration factors and asset settings directly in depreciation books. Business Central automatically calculates accelerated amounts, the equivalent linear amounts, and the difference between them, and posts the values to the appropriate accounts. Inquiry pages provide clear visibility into annual depreciation figures, variances, and remaining book value, supporting consistent financial tracking and audit transparency.
Finally, there is a link included on the 28.3 update page called Resources for Users. This page includes a large number of links to other Microsoft Learn pages that provide help related to the implementation and support of Business Central. Save this link as a Favorite!
