Time-Saving Workflows and Automations for Business Central

Efficiency is likely why you are using Business Central in the first place… and efficiency is the key to saving time. But did you know you can save EVEN more time with your daily activities? Business Central has a very powerful workflow engine PLUS the ability to extend into Microsoft Power Automate, and better yet, they are fairly easy to get started with! We cannot wait to show how to use workflows in Business Central, exemplify how to build efficiencies and save time, as well as leverage automations OUTSIDE of Business Central with Power Automate. Give us 50 minutes of your time, and we will give you back MUCH MORE!

BC #LifeHacks 109: Change Check Layout

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central can indeed print paper checks… The default layout is called “Check”… and it’s a single stub and a single check. In my experience, most businesses don’t use this layout… so how do you change it to match your layout?

I would like to say that the real solution to this is to pay your vendors electronically, but we can save that debate for a different day 🙂
