> The post explains how the new Sales Order Agent in Business Central 2025 Wave 1 automates email-based sales quote processing and details the billing models for agentic AI features. It covers Copilot Studio message-based pricing (pay-as-you-go at $0.01 per message or prepaid message packs at $200/month for 25,000 messages), environment linking requirements, and cost scenarios ranging from $77 to $803 monthly based on agent complexity and usage.

## Key points

- The Sales Order Agent in 2025 Wave 1 (version 26) reads customer emails, clarifies missing details over multi-turn email, checks item availability and sends a PDF sales quote
- Billing requires linking the Business Central environment to a Power Platform environment; links are one-to-one and must match Azure geo and environment type
- Two billing models exist, prepaid Copilot Studio message packs ($200 per month for 25,000 messages) and pay-as-you-go ($0.01 per message); if both are active, prepaid capacity is used first
- Message consumption depends on task complexity such as generative answers, agent actions, tenant graph grounding and agent flow actions; sample scenarios range from about $77 to $803 per month
- The author stresses weighing costs against ROI and notes that full-code agent solutions may be cheaper for complex, scalable projects
