New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2: Series Index

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralThis post is part of a series on the new functionality available in Wave 2 of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024. There are two release waves for Business Central each year, with functionality being released over the six months of the wave.

In this series of posts, I am going to take a look at what is new with Business Central in this release wave. My understanding is the announced new functionality will become available in the six months of the wave, so not all of it will be available immediately. When posting about some new functionality, I’ll try to indicate where something will be available in October or later. Microsoft do reserve the right to withdraw announced functionality before release; when this happens, I’ll try to publish an article on the removed functionality and update the original article I published.

This series index, below (assuming you’re reading this on azurecurve | Ramblings of an IT Professional), will automatically update as each post in the series goes live, so make sure you bookmark this post so you can see keep up-to-date with this series.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Statement Import Importing all Dates as January

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralOn a recent implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central we created some data exchange definitions for the import of statements, but when it came to testing the client reported that all lines were being imported dated in January.

So a transaction dated 20/6/2024 would import as 20/01/2024. I did a little exploring and realised that the issue was the data format I had applied to the date field on the column definition.

I had entered the data fromat as dd/mm/yyyy, but it needed to be dd/MM/yyyy:

This is actually quite common for dates to require te month to be capitals, as lower case mm is minutes. Once I updated the definition, the statements imported correctly.
