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.

Feature Details

• Optimize for each device: When you’re working on multiple browsers or devices, such as a desktop PC at work and a laptop when you’re on the go, you can adjust column widths independently on each device for an optimal view of your data.
• Resize regardless of role: Even when personalization is off for a given profile (role), users who are assigned that profile can still resize columns by dragging or double-clicking the sides of the column header.
• Get it done, quicker: Resizing a column is notably faster.
• On any page: Unlocks the ability to resize columns on page types where you previously couldn’t, such as Copilot prompt dialogs.
• Best of both worlds: Resizing columns in personalization mode or role customization mode will continue to persist the column width to the UI personalization store in the database.

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.

My Opinion

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.

Feature Details

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.

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.

Feature Details

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.
