I am writing a few related series at the moment, includong In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Power Automate Actions), how do I… which is a sub-series of the In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (Power Automate), 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.
Yesterday, I posted at article about using the Get url (V3) action, but realised after posting that the URL for the record from the trigger is available without using this action.
I’m not sure if this is new or if I’ve previously just missed that it was there. In the Dynamic content[/b] available to actions for the For a selected record (V3) trigger:
This means that for this trigger type, if you want a drill down to the record in the trigger, then you an just use this dynamic content instead of having to use the Get url V3 action.

There are a number of actions available in Power Automate for Business Central which allow specific actions against the data of Business Central to be performed from within Power Automate.
The second action which is available is the Get url (V3) one which creates the URL which can be sent in an email, Teams message or other communication. When clicked, the Business Central page for the selected record will be opened (presupposes that the receiving user has a Business Central licence.
Within a flow, click the add action button; search for Business Central and select the Business Central icon (make sure you select the SaaS one, which is a dark colour instead of the on-premises one which is mainly white):

This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2.
The 3rd of the new functionality in the User experiences section is resize columns even when personalization isn’t enabled.
People using the Business Central web client often need to adjust the widths of their data columns. Whether you’re looking for a particular record or optimizing the layout of their pages for efficient reading or accelerated data entry. Now, this is disconnected from the UI customization system to let you quickly and easily resize columns on any list.

Column size preferences now join many other simple UI adjustments that are stored in your browser. Using in-private or incognito browsing, or clearing your browser history might discard your preferences, including column sizing.
I hand’t realised that the ability to resize a column was lost when the user wasn’t allowed to personalise the system, so it is really good to see this enhancement.

You can drag multiple files at the same time to attach them to records in Business Central. Select multiple files, and then just drag them to the file upload dialog.

Business Central comes with many options for reporting, business intelligence (BI) dashboards, and data analysis. This release wave adds a lot of new reports for finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, and projects.
Specifically, the following Power BI reports are available:
You can also embed the Power BI Metrics scorecards you use to track your important KPIs directly inside Business Central.
It’s good to see some Power BI reports being made available as default. It will give clients implementing Business Central a starting point with reporting.

The 10th of the new functionality in the Legislation section is enable Internal Carbon Fee calculation in Sustainability.
Motivate your business, or individual business units, to reduce carbon emissions by setting up carbon fees for greenhouse gas emissions.

General Availability: Oct 2024
Companies can set up an internal fee that they charge themselves for each unit of carbon they emits. An internal company carbon fee is a fee that a company charges itself for each unit of CO2 that it emits. The purpose of the fee is to encourage the organization to reduce its carbon footprint and be more environmentally sustainable. By putting a price on carbon emissions, the company or individual organizational units are motivated to find ways to reduce emissions and save money.
Organizations can set their carbon fee, and fees for other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, by scope type or use a flat fee across scopes. GHG fee calculation should include allocations by Country/regions and by Responsibility Centers.
Administrators can enable carbon fee (or other GHG fees) calculations using the GHG Fees field on the Sustainability Setup page. Afterward, Business Central automatically calculates the fees when posting sustainability journals, or you can run a manual action. The fees are posted to the Sustainability Ledger Entry page, where they’re available in the Emission Fee field.
To use this functionality, you must set up fees on the Emission Fees page, where you can specify the GHG emissions you want to use in calculations and the emission fee amount. You can also use a recalculation model to calculate all fees in a carbon equivalent.

There are a number of actions available in Power Automate for Business Central which allow specific actions against the data of Business Central to be performed from within Power Automate.
While a Power Automate flow can only have one trigger, a flow will consist of multiple actions. Actions can be from a mix of types, but the Business Central ones will usually have several different ones used.
This is because they each target a different type of action; once a flow has been triggered, you’ll usually want to get the related record (e.g. the vendor to be approved, the item which has been changes), generate the URL for a drill back into Business Central from the approval email or Teams message, and then, perhaps create, delete or update a record. There are very few flows I’ve created which did not use two or (usually) more Business Central actions.
Over this short series of articles, I’ll be taking a look at how each of the actions is added to a flow and configured, but the articles will pretty much stand alone. This is sort of how they’d work in the real work anyway, with parameters from one possibly being used in the other and I will cover the parameters in the articles.

The 9th of the new functionality in the Legislation section is purchase carbon credits.
Many regions have mandatory emission reduction targets. Purchasing carbon credits allows companies to comply with these regulations when they can’t reduce emissions enough through their operations alone.

On Item Card pages, you can set the GHG Credit field for items to treat them as carbon credits. When you set up an item as a carbon credit item type, the Carbon Credit per UoM field (decimal) is enabled so you can specify the carbon credit value.
Afterward, when you include the item on purchase documents it posts a negative line for emission (in the Emission CO2 field) together with the cost of the item (in the Emission Fee field) in the Sustainability Ledger Entry table.
