This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1.
The 5th of the new functionality in the Copilot and AI section is enhance purchase order line matching with Copilot.
The e-documents feature in Business Central plays a key role in automating the receipt and processing of invoices from vendors. Copilot can help this process by improving the mapping and matching of vendor invoices to purchase orders. This assistance reduces time spent on tasks that would normally include extensive search, lookup, and data entry. This feature improves accuracy and adds new capabilities to matching e-document lines with Copilot.
Enabled for: Users, automatically

Feature Details
Note

- This feature is supported in English only. While it can be used in other languages, it may not function as intended. Language quality may vary based on the user’s interaction or system settings, which may impact accuracy and the user experience.
- AI-generated content may be incorrect.
To experience this feature, sign in to your Business Central online environment and follow these instructions. The feature extends the current Copilot with the following capabilities:
- Beyond using an 80% string match in descriptions for automated matching, Copilot now also incorporates item references and G/L mappings in preprocessing.
- If an incoming e-document has lines that aren’t present in the related purchase order, it highlights the discrepancy and you can run the Transfer to action, which prompts you to specify the Type (GL Account, Item Charge, and so on) and Number you want to connect. Afterward, Copilot creates a new line in the Purchase Order.
- If you enable the new Keep mapping references setup, lines that Copilot matches are saved for future use, either as an item reference or a G/L mapping.
