Build the future of agentic ERP with new Microsoft Dynamics 365 capabilities

On the Microsoft Dynamics 365 blog, Sameer Verma wrote that Microsoft is expanding Dynamics 365 with new AI and automation features as part of its push toward "agentic ERP." The goal is to use AI agents to automate more business processes across ERP applications and other Microsoft tools.

Verma stated that Microsoft is adding new features to Dynamics 365 Finance to make it easier for workers to complete everyday financial tasks. The updates will help companies manage journals, transactions between business units, accruals, allocations, and account reconciliation. 

He noted that Microsoft is adding AI capabilities across Supply Chain Management, Project Operations, Commerce, Field Service, and Human Resources as well. These tools will help companies with areas such as demand planning, supplier management, technician scheduling, billing, hiring, and onboarding. 

In his post, Verma explained in detail how Microsoft is adding AI agents and automation to Dynamics 365 to help businesses automate more financial, supply chain, and other ERP processes.

Introducing menu configuration

Writing on his blog, André Arnaud De Calavon stated that in the past, people often asked him if they could hide menus they didn't need or menus that contained the same items already available in another menu.
