The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Version 29 (2026 Release Wave 2) update marks an important milestone with the permanent retirement of SOAP web services for Microsoft UI pages, completing the transition to modern OData v4 REST APIs.

Complete Retirement of Legacy SOAP Architecture
Continuing the deprecation that began in Business Central 26, SOAP web service endpoints for Microsoft UI pages will be permanently removed in Business Central 29. OData v4 REST APIs will become the recommended and fully supported standard for integrations.
