In September 2017 at the Directions conference, Microsoft announced the new codename 'Tenerife' for this product, which would be released as 'Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations Business Edition', while the successor product to Dynamics AX would be called 'Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations Enterprise Edition'.^[5]

On April 2, 2018, D365BC was released publicly^[6] and plans for semi-annual releases were announced.^[7]
