Business value

Microsoft Copilot is an integral part of Business Central that helps workers boost creativity, improve productivity, and eliminate tedious tasks. No matter the country or region where you operate Business Central, users can access Copilot without any one-time administrative setup.

Feature details

When you deploy environments to the United States, United Kingdom, India, and Australia Azure regions, you get Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service availability in your geography. You don't need any administrative setup for Microsoft Copilot in Business Central.

For all other geographies, the administrative setting on the Copilot & AI Capabilities page is now on by default.

  • New environments running version 25.0 or later don't need administrative setup. Users can use Copilot capabilities right away.
  • Environments upgrading to version 25.0 in 2024 release wave 2 update automatically. The Allow data movement setting in the Copilot & AI Capabilities page is on. Users can access Copilot capabilities as soon as the environment upgrades.
  • Administrators can use this switch to opt out of data movement across geographies. When administrators use this switch, it deactivates Copilot for all users in the environment.
