I stumbled across an article on Microsoft Learn the other day which lists the features of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central which are not implemented in on-premises deployments. These are features which are not only not implemented, but will also not be implemented in future.
I’ve included the key part of the list below, but there is additional information at the link I posted above.

| Default Power BI reports | Automatic deployment and configuration of Power BI reports isn’t supported in on-premises deployments of Business Central. |
| Bulk Invoicing from Microsoft Bookings | Integration with the Bookings app that is available in certain Microsoft 365 subscriptions isn’t supported. |
