Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Database Capacity

Business Central Database Capacity

With Database Capacity, you can license additional storage for Business Central at any time via a subscription.

Note: In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, storage usage is not determined solely by the database size. File storage (e.g., for attachments and documents) as well as additional environments such as sandboxes also contribute to the overall utilization of available capacity.

Purchase Additional Storage Capacity when your Data Storage reaches its Limit

Each user license (for example, Essentials or Premium) already includes a certain amount of data storage, which is usually sufficient for many businesses in their day-to-day operations. If your data volume exceeds this limit, you can easily purchase additional storage capacity. This upgrade is part of a subscription and can be scaled as needed.

Especially with data-intensive applications (such as with add-on solutions like DOCIN), the available capacity can be exhausted more quickly. That’s why it’s worth checking your storage regularly.

Tip: Regularly clean up your Business Central Data

Before purchasing additional capacity, it’s a good idea to review your existing data in Business Central: A targeted cleanup - similar to a spring cleaning, such as by clearing out large logs or data that is no longer needed - can help you use storage more efficiently and avoid unnecessary costs.

Respond Flexibly to Growing Data Volumes with Database Capacity

Database Capacity in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central offers a simple and scalable way to handle growing data volumes. If you also regularly clean up your Business Central environment and keep track of your data, you can make the most of your existing resources and implement extensions in a targeted and cost-effective manner.
