AI Agents in Business Central: What BC Consultants Need to Know Right Now
Autonomous agents are arriving in Business Central. What they automate today, what they don't, and how it changes the BC consultant's role.
Business Central has moved from AI-assisted features to genuinely agentic ones — automation that can take multi-step actions like reconciling entries or chasing late documents. For BC consultants this is less a threat than a shift in where your value sits.
What the agents handle today
- Sales-order-to-cash steps that used to be manual data entry.
- Bank and account reconciliation suggestions with human approval.
- Document handling — reading incoming invoices and proposing postings.
- Routine exception chasing that previously sat in someone's inbox.
What still needs you
Process design, controls, and exception governance. Someone has to decide what an agent is allowed to do unsupervised, how approvals are structured, and how errors surface. That's consulting work, and it's growing, not shrinking. The BC consultants who thrive will be the ones who can configure the agent and design the control framework around it.
