Wave 2 Key Features >> >

 

1. Save Time and Effort in Launching New Products with Copilot

 

In this version, the aim is to bring Copilot al siguiente nivel.

More capabilities are provided for people to optimise their processes and complete tasks faster with Copilot guidance. Developers are already enjoying Copilot at Visual Studio Code and the AL experience, and there is more to come in that area.

1.1 Faster bank reconciliation with Copilot

Added value

While Business Central reduces hassle through automatic transaction reconciliationThe residual work to process unreconciled transactions each week remains cumbersome and quickly accumulates into lost working days. This is where Copilot comes in, reducing accounting work through improved transaction reconciliation and natural language explanation of proposed matches.

 

Functionality Details

The bank account reconciliation function in Business Central has been enhanced with:

1. Coincidencia de transacciones impulsada por IA

This feature uses artificial intelligence to to further improve automation and reduce unreconciled transactions that require human supervision. This means that the system is more effective in identifying matches between transactions, which reduces the manual workload for accountants.

2. AI-generated explanations

Copilot offers AI-generated explanations of how the remaining transactions could be matched. This makes it easier for accountants to complete the task of reconciling accounts by simply reviewing and approving suggested matches.

Incorporating artificial intelligence into this Business Central function not only saves time and effort, but also improves accuracy and efficiency in the bank reconciliation process. Accountants can have a smarter and more effective tool to carry out this crucial task, which in turn allows the company to use its resources more effectively in other areas. With Copilot, the bank account reconciliation process becomes more streamlined and accurate, resulting in a more efficient workflow and fewer days lost due to unreconciled transactions.
