Business value

In a business landscape that changes fast, companies often need to evolve the portfolio of products they sell. Whether it's a handful of new products, modifications to existing products, or entire new product lines and categories, it's often time consuming to create and manage product (item) information. Copilot can significantly reduce this effort and accelerate the time to market for new products to meet customer demand. This means more time for you to focus on what matters most, your business. Copilot is the AI-powered assistant for work that boosts creativity and improves productivity for Business Central users.

Feature details

Because product (item) information in Business Central is spread out across several tables, creating and managing this information can be a time-consuming task. The effort involves looking up information based on existing items, pasting values, and ensuring the new product is ready to transact. Creating variants, dimensions, units of measure, and other item-related information also takes time that delays market readiness for new products.

Copilot can help you create item-related information based on similar items. To begin with, Copilot can suggest the following item-related information:

• Variants
• Units of Measure
• Substitutions
• Dimensions

When you manage a product and work with the pages that manage this information, Copilot offers assistance by suggesting the data. Powered by AI, Copilot finds similar products (items) and suggests meaningful data for the related tables.

Not only does this assistance reduce the time it takes to create a product, but it also ensures that your products are ready to transact faster than ever before.
