BC Bites Series - From quote to cash, see how Business Central and Copilot simplify sales, speed up approvals and keep your team focused on customers.

 

In this BC Bites demo, you’ll see how Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central streamlines every step of the customer and sales quote process — from creating a new customer and contact to generating quotes, confirming orders and issuing invoices. 

The entire flow demonstrates how AI-powered automation with Copilot removes manual effort, reduces delays and improves communication between your sales and finance teams.

 


From New Customer to Paid Invoice — Seamlessly 

The demo begins with a typical scenario: a salesperson receives an inquiry from a new customer. Within moments, they can: 

  • Create the customer profile using predefined templates. 
  • Generate a quote populated automatically with customer and item details. 
  • Use Copilot AI to draft and send the quote instantly. 
  • Convert the quote into a sales order as soon as it’s approved. 
  • Post the invoice and confirm the sale — complete with automated customer emails. 

Every step is tracked in Business Central, with Copilot keeping tasks, opportunities and approvals in sync — ensuring sales momentum never stalls. 

AI That Accelerates Sales 

With Microsoft Copilot built into Business Central, your team can move from opportunity to order faster than ever. Copilot and Business Central help you:

  • Draft clear and professional emails to customers.
  • Automatically close opportunities and log follow-up actions.
  • Detect and flag issues such as overdue balances or credit limits.
  • Generate accurate, compliant invoices in seconds.

It’s automation that supports smarter selling - freeing your people to focus on customers, not admin.
