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 eighth of the new functionality in the Governance and Administration section is Transfer environments between Microsoft Entra tenants.

In some cases, administrators may want to transfer their Dynamics 365 Business Central environment to another Microsoft Entra tenant (formerly Azure Active Directory tenant). For example, this could be done to consolidate environments belonging to the same company in a single tenant when one company is acquired by another, or for partners to transfer a demo environment to their customer to test with. Until now, this scenario was supported through service requests that required paperwork to ensure consents from all involved parties were in place

Feature Details

In 2023 release wave 2, the process for transferring a Business Central environment to a different Microsoft Entra tenant will be a self-service scenario. Internal administrators can request an environment transfer from the source tenant, and then accept the transfer from the target tenant.

My Opinion

This enhancement looks like it could be very useful, for the exact use cases mentioned above.

The seventh of the new functionality in the Governance and Administration section is Automatically update AppSource apps with minor updates.

With this release wave, it’s easier to make sure that apps installed in an environment are always up to date with the latest version.

Feature Details

Already today, you can update individual apps from the App Management page in the Business Central admin center, and these apps are then automatically updated with every major update to your environment. In 2023 release wave 2, Microsoft are introducing an environment-level setting that automatically updates all installed apps with every minor update, ensuring that you always have the latest features and improvements.

My Opinion

It seems odd that major updates could be automatically applied, but not minor updates. However, with this enhancement Microsoft have allowed admins to configure minor updates of extensions to be automatically applied.

This post is part of the In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Inventory and Warehouse Management), how do I… series and of the wider In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, how do I… series which I am posting as I familiarise myself with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Over the last few posts of this series, I’ve taken a look at the receipt and put-away processes in Business Central, how they are enabled and how they are processed, and, in the last post, on how the process works when both are enabled.

The processes covered so far are for when processing put-away instructions for individual orders or groups of orders where the put-aways are handled one by one. There is functionality in Business Central to facilitate planning put-aways for multiple receipts, which will allow warehouses to operate more efficiently.
