Release Notes: Quarter 2 2026

The Food Variance report now uses only the values from the selected beginning and ending inventory counts to calculate usage. If an item does not appear on either count, it will be treated as 0. This ensures that usage accurately reflects activity within the selected reporting period.

Payroll GL account mapping has moved from the legacy GL Account Mapping page in Workforce to the Payroll Accounts tab in the Mapping Tool, with existing mappings migrated where possible and mappings tied to disabled GL accounts surfaced as unmapped. The legacy mapping page will be deprecated at the end of April and will no longer be available.

This update unifies GL mapping into one tool, with improved search, filtering, and bulk-edit support for managing payroll mappings and applies to organizations using R365 Payroll that manage payroll GL mappings and payroll journal entries.

R365 Intelligence has a new name: AI Dashboards. Starting in April 2026, "AI Dashboards" will replace "Intelligence" throughout R365, including in the left navigation menu (Reports → AI Dashboards). Along with the rename, the AI Dashboards screens have been refreshed to match R365's modern design.

This update also introduces several new AI-powered capabilities:

• Auto Dashboard — Use a conversational AI prompt to automatically generate visualizations and complete dashboards. You can also ask the bot to modify or refine existing visualizations.

• Auto Summary — Enable Auto Summary on any dashboard to get an AI-generated narrative overview of the data on that page. Instead of scanning every chart and table individually, you'll see a concise summary of key performance indicators, trends, and notable changes in one panel.

• Auto Answers — Available in view mode, Auto Answers lets you ask questions about the data on your dashboard and get real-time AI-generated responses and analysis.

• Parameters — Use Parameters to apply dynamic filtering to dashboards. Create what-if scenarios, switch views, and define reusable filter logic with the new Dashboard Parameters section, Create Parameter button, and Parameter Selector option.

For more details, see Introducing AI Dashboards.

Tables can now be sorted and filtered by clicking the column header menu icon to quickly find information without needing to scan entire tables.

Sorting and filtering reset when an article is refreshed. Only one column may be sorted at a time.

The standard and payroll journal entry have been refreshed with an modernized style and refreshed layout.

The new journal entry is being enabled for all customers through April 2026 and the classic journal entry will no longer be available. Learn more about the Journal Entry Update.
