Important
The planned features for this release wave have been updated and this feature appears to have been removed.
This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2023 Wave 2.
The first of the new functionality in the Service and platform section is get Power BI reports for reporting and data analysis on finance, sales, and inventory.
End users can get Power BI reports for reporting and data analysis on the finance, sales, and inventory areas.
KPIs in Power BI reports can be consumed with Power BI metrics to track them over time.
Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically
Public Preview: Sep 2023
General Availability: Oct 2023
Feature Details
In each of the functional areas of sales, finance, and inventory, Microsoft will do the following:
- Add (API) queries that can be analysed directly in the client.
- Build Power BI reports and package them into a Power BI app that is available on AppSource.
- Expose select queries as reports with Excel layouts.
- Document how KPIs can be shown and tracked in a Power BI metrics scorecard, which can be embedded in the client.
My Opinion
Power BI is increasingly popular with clients, so I’m sure this enhancement will be welcome.
