The upgrade cuts manual effort and compliance risk, delivering faster material release and higher quality assurance for manufacturers using Business Central.
Manufacturers relying on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central often grapple with fragmented quality inspection processes that demand duplicate data entry and cumbersome notification handling. Insight Works, a long‑standing ISV for the platform, has built its reputation on embedding operational tools directly into the ERP core, reducing the need for third‑party add‑ons. By addressing pain points such as manual test logging and rigid lot‑blocking, the new Quality Inspector v7.25 aligns with broader industry moves toward integrated, low‑code solutions that keep users within familiar workspaces.
Version 7.25’s standout features reflect a shift toward real‑time collaboration and automation. Adaptive cards in Microsoft Teams let inspectors capture results without leaving conversations, leveraging Power Automate for seamless data flow. Expanded grade‑based blocking offers granular control over outbound transactions, while the ability to suppress non‑critical alerts declutters the My Notifications hub. Warehouse operations benefit from automatic line splitting during sampled put‑away, and a new trigger auto‑creates quality tests when a production order stems from a sales order, ensuring compliance checks are never missed.
The practical impact for Business Central users is measurable: reduced cycle times, fewer compliance gaps, and lower labor costs associated with manual entry. Companies can now pilot the enhancements in sandbox environments via AppSource, mitigating upgrade risk. As the ERP ecosystem continues to prioritize native extensions and AI‑driven insights, Insight Works’ iterative upgrades position Quality Inspector as a critical component for manufacturers seeking scalable, end‑to‑end quality management. Early adopters are likely to see quicker release of goods, tighter inventory control, and stronger audit trails, driving both operational efficiency and customer confidence.

Insight Works today announced the release of Quality Inspector version 7.25, a significant update to its quality control application for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The new version introduces practical improvements that address common operational challenges in quality inspection workflows, including data entry, compliance enforcement, notification management, and warehouse handling.
Many quality teams still rely on manual data entry for test results, receive excessive or irrelevant notifications, face rigid lot‑blocking rules that do not fully align with business needs, and handle sampled inventory during put‑aways with manual line splitting. These frictions slow the release of materials, increase the risk of compliance gaps, and add unnecessary steps to daily operations.
The v7.25 update focuses on reducing manual effort and improving control in real‑world scenarios:
Inspectors can now capture simple test results directly in Microsoft Teams using adaptive cards, allowing data entry without leaving the conversation (Business Central SaaS version 27 and Power Automate licensing required).
Expanded grade‑based blocking options provide stronger enforcement on sales order releases and outbound warehouse transactions (Business Central version 22 or newer).
Users can suppress unwanted notifications on the standard My Notifications page, reducing distractions and helping them focus on critical quality events.
Warehouse put‑away processes now support automatic line splitting and bin/zone influence when sampling is required (Business Central version 27 or later).
Automatic notifications are triggered when tests are completed, ensuring timely awareness without manual follow‑up.
A new automation trigger creates quality tests automatically when a production order is released from a sales order.
The planned start date on quality inspection cards is now editable, with corrected end date‑time behavior for better scheduling flexibility.
“Quality Inspector v7.25 delivers targeted improvements that directly tackle everyday friction points our customers and partners report most often,” said Brian Neufeld, Director of Marketing at Insight Works. “These changes are designed to make quality processes smoother and more reliable without introducing complexity. The goal is to let teams spend less time working around the system and more time ensuring product quality.”
Quality Inspector integrates natively with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and is available now on AppSource. Partners and customers can review compatibility and test the new features in a sandbox environment before updating production systems.
