The Direction
BC’s 2026 Wave 1 shifts toward ‘agentic ERP’ — AI agents automating sales order processing, purchase requisitions, approval flows. For SMB and mid-market, ERP-level automation that previously required ERP engineers becomes citizen-buildable.
Sales Order Automation
Inbound orders parsed, validated against stock and pricing, processed with fulfillment kickoff. Human review for exceptions. Order-to-cash velocity improves meaningfully.
Purchase Scenarios
Requisition → approval → PO → receipt. Routine items flow automatically within policy. Purchasing team handles exceptions and strategic buys.
Developer Productivity
Extensibility investments make extending BC faster. Agents assist developers with AL code. Custom functionality that used to require specialist developers becomes accessible to in-house IT.
