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 of the new functionality in the Service and platform section is Service-to-service apps and device license users can schedule tasks.

In typical commerce, point of sale, and warehousing scenarios, where there’s a high volume of transactions and workloads to be processed by service-to-service apps or device license users, the ability to schedule tasks and execute them in background sessions can greatly improve throughput and reduce risk of errors.

Feature Details

Scheduling tasks has been enabled for app (S2S) and device license users since the updates 21.2 and 22.5, respectively. In situations that required processing many transactions and workloads—such as posting sales orders, printing receipts, and updating inventory—S2S apps and device license users can now increase throughput by parking these workloads as scheduled tasks that will be automatically and asynchronously run later in background sessions. In this way, they avoid waiting for the completion of these workloads and reduce the risk of errors, timeouts, and performance issues that may occur if processing these workloads synchronously.

The of the new functionality in the Service and platform section is New operational limits on scheduled tasks and web requests improve throughput.

Feature Details

Business Central online handles diverse customer workloads with varying load patterns based on seasonality and many other factors, such as the number of active users, external integrations, BI and analytics tasks, and more. To manage these workloads efficiently, Microsoft have built a highly automated system that performs traffic management, load balancing and distribution, scheduled task execution, and capacity allocation based on the factors mentioned. Microsoft continuously improve the elasticity and scalability of their service with more insights to provide the highest performance and throughput for all customers and their workloads.

Microsoft are excited to announce some of these improvements in this release, specifically their increased operational limits. The new limits will significantly benefit their customers with large, complex environments that have many users, scheduled tasks, or web service integrations. They substantially raise the number of web service requests that can be submitted, as well as the number of scheduled tasks and web service requests that can be concurrently processed in each environment.

The of the new functionality in the Service and platform section is Synchronize multiple Business Central companies with the same Dataverse environment.

Unlock scenarios where multiple companies must access data in the same Dataverse environment. This enables partners to build new experiences when working in more than one company.

Feature Details

When you set up the connection to Dataverse, you can select several Business Central companies from one Dataverse environment.
You can enable multicompany synchronization for each table mapping. On the Integration Table Mappings page, select the Enable Multicompany Synchronization checkbox. Enabling multicompany synchronization has the following effects:

• Removes company filters on user- or team-owned tables, such as the Account and Contact tables.
• Makes sales quotes and orders synchronization more restrictive with respect to the company filter. You must use the company picker in Dataverse or Dynamics 365 Sales to specify the Business Central company that will process a particular document.
• Doesn’t affect tables that are organization-owned, such as the Currency table.

You can open coupled records in different companies using the Open in Business Central action in Dataverse or Dynamics 365 Sales.
