Dynamics Business Central / NAV Developer Digest - Vol. 533

ArcherPoint’s Developer Digest focuses on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Dynamics NAV development. This week’s volume includes events that are “no longer invoked”, minimizing deadlocks in Business Central v26, improving AI in Business Central, and a look at free administrator licenses in BC.

The Dynamics 365 Business Central community, consisting of developers, project managers, and consultants, collaborates across various platforms to share valuable insights. At ArcherPoint, we greatly value their dedication and expertise. To ensure widespread access to this technical knowledge, we created Developer Digest.

Addressing events that are “no longer invoked”

Business Central developers have been aware that Microsoft plans to eliminate specific tables and events for some time now. However, in v26, some obsolete events are no longer invoked. The result is that the BC code compiles (with warnings) and can be published; however, since the event will not be invoked, the code will fail at runtime.

Waldo addresses this issue in his blog, Obsoleted and “no longer invoked” events in v26 Business Central.

Minimizing deadlocks in BC v26

The latest BC release, Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 Wave 1 (v26.x), introduces numerous new features that enhance Business Central’s efficiency.

Duilio Tacconi walks through some settings that should be enabled to minimize deadlocks and lock timeouts.

Improving AI in Business Central

LLMs interact with external tools and APIs through function calling. This provides the AI model with the available functions, parameters, and expected outputs. However, the AI model relies on the relevant function schema in order to select the optimum API that matches the user intent in response to a prompt input.

Stefano Demiliani points out, “The real problem we have today is that current Business Central APIs were not designed for AI in mind.”

A look at various administrator licenses in Business Central

Business Central provides paid licenses for Premium, Essentials, and Team Members, and these are assigned to users manually. However, other less common licenses can be assigned automatically.

Gavin, the Dynamics Explorer, explains some of these license types, how they are assigned, and discusses the free Internal Administrator and Dynamics 365 Administrator licenses in his blog, Dynamics 365 Business Central – A Closer look at the Free “Internal Administrator” and “Dynamics 365 Administrator” Licenses.
