Consultants digest - 2026 release wave 2

If you implement, configure and train: finance, supply chain, e-documents, sustainability, Expense Agent, reporting, Copilot and the integrations, here are the 134 minutes that matter, out of 7h09 of launch event video. 49 features in the playlist, 171 more worth a look, every item deep-linked to the second where they explain it.

Subcontracting is the loudest theme here. A new Subcontracting app, WIP ledger entries, purchase order lines, put-aways and a migration path for legacy data take up a big share of the supply chain time. If you have clients on the legacy setup, start there, because disabling it comes with a pre-check and, for Italian data, a separate migration app that now works in production.

Next in line are the Expense Agent and the new Microsoft Copilot chat, which replaces the old Copilot UI. Expect questions about AI policy checks, VAT reclaim, withholding tax and credits, and expect users to ask Copilot about everything, including things unrelated to their data. Reporting gets themes and header footer layouts, and e-documents get EDI and invoicing for France.

Treat the Shopify tax features carefully. Tax matching is in preview, as are the Expense Agent mobile app and the Fabric export logs. Several items are only announced, such as travel requests and the Power BI apps on Fabric, so keep them out of project plans.

How this list was made

Functional areas only, features that were demoed on stage for at least a minute and a half, minus the ones rated high developer relevance. The rest of the functional areas is also worth a look.

Generated by pipeline step 06 from config/audiences.json. Status rule: a feature is shown as GA unless the presenters said otherwise, which is how Microsoft runs the launch event; "said on stage" counts the ones with an evidence quote. Not official.
