Hi, Apart from the Agent function, all Copilot functions in BC are currently free, and users do not need to make any additional investment.

More details:

Hi,

1) Where Copilot adds real value

Finance: invoice/entry explanations, variance summaries, faster month-end narratives

Supply Chain: PO/vendor communication drafts, exception explanations (late/short supply)

Operations: customer/order summaries, quick status explanations

Use built-in Copilot first. Extend only for high-value gaps.

2) Customization reality

Copilot is SaaS-first

Use Copilot extensibility only for small, focused use cases

Always keep human review for postings & external communication

3) Train by role, not by feature

Give each role 5–10 proven prompts

Teach “good vs bad prompts”

Enforce review for financial/external output

Recommended rollout

Pick 2–3 high-volume processes

Fix minimum data issues

Pilot with key users (2 weeks)

Measure → extend → scale

Do mark as verified if this helps,

Hello ,

Copilot works best when data is clean, processes are standard, and users know how to ask questions.

Value: Faster insights (finance), better forecasts (supply chain), quicker daily tasks (ops)

Requirements: Clean master data, good dimensions, minimal customizations

Limits: Copilot favors standard BC; heavy custom code reduces impact

Adoption: Train users on prompting, not AI theory

Compliance: Uses existing BC/M365 permissions

ROI: Measure time saved, not “AI usage” (faster close, fewer manual checks)

Bottom line:

Fix data → stay standard → train users → track time saved.

Regards,

Oussama Sabbouh
