If you, or someone in your finance team, has recently tried to run Aged Accounts Receivable and found it missing or different, you’re not alone.
Microsoft has removed eight familiar Excel-based reports from Business Central and replaced them with new versions built around customisable Excel layouts.
The original reports were hidden as part of the 2025 Release Wave 1 update and removed completely in 2026 Release Wave 1. For many businesses, the impact is only becoming apparent now, particularly during month-end reporting.
Join Paul Cartwright, Chief Technical Officer at TVT, and Ian Robinson, Senior Support Consultant, as they explain what’s changed, how to restore the reports your team relies on, and how to get the most from the new Excel reporting capabilities now available.
Which reports are affected?
Eight reports commonly used by finance teams have been replaced.
If your reporting processes rely on any of the following, this session is for you:
- Balance Sheet
- Income Statement
- Statement of Cash Flows
- Statement of Retained Earnings
- VAT Collected
- Customer Statements
- Aged Accounts Payable
- Aged Accounts Receivable
We’re seeing the most questions around Aged Accounts Receivable, so we’ll spend additional time covering that report. However, the same principles apply across all eight reports.
What we’ll cover
We’ll begin with the practical impact of the change, including:
- Which reports have been removed
- What has replaced them
- How to recreate or restore familiar reporting outputs
- What to do if the new reports don’t match the format your team needs
- Excel Reporting Changes in Business Central
We’ll then explore the new Excel layouts in more detail, covering how they work, where they’re stored, how they connect to Business Central data, and what to consider when refreshing reports or applying system updates.
Because these layouts use standard Excel functionality, finance teams can now make many reporting changes themselves without needing development support or third-party reporting tools.
Who should attend?
This webinar is ideal for finance users, finance managers, controllers and administrators who regularly run or rely on ageing reports, customer statements, VAT reporting, or month-end financial reporting within Business Central.
You don’t need to be an Excel expert to attend. However, those who regularly work with Excel will gain additional value from the examples and demonstrations.
