  • Business Central 2023 release wave 2 (BC v23)
  • Business Central 2023 release wave 1 (BC v22)

When you upgrade your old version of Expense Management to a later one, the upgrade process depends on which version you're upgrading from and which version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV/Business Central you have. It may not be possible to upgrade directly, and you might also have to update your version of NAV/Business Central to ensure compatibility. To learn how to upgrade your old version of NAV/Business Central while ensuring compatibility with Expense Management, see Upgrading NAV/Business Central with Expense Management installed.
