Quick Tip: Say Goodbye to OData on Microsoft Pages in Business Central 2027 Wave 1 (version 30.0)

Starting with Business Central version 30.0 (2027 Wave 1), Microsoft no longer allows exposing Microsoft-authored pages as OData endpoints.

Key points

  • Microsoft-authored pages from Base Application and System Application cannot be exposed as OData endpoints in version 30.0
  • UI pages are designed for human interaction and change between releases, making them unsuitable for stable integrations
  • Developers must audit current integrations, migrate to custom extensions or query objects, and design purpose-built APIs
  • This change enforces separation between user interface and API layers for more robust and predictable integrations
