I wanted to share a tool I built out of personal frustration with Business Central navigation. If you frequently need to jump to a specific Sales Order, Customer, Invoice or Purchase Orderor any other document, this might save you some time.
BC Navigator is a Edge/Chrome extension that adds a command palette to BC (Alt+W). You type a short prefix + the document number and press Enter – and you land directly on that record, without opening any menus or filtering a list.
Examples:
– SO 6003 → opens Sales Order 6003
– SOLAda* → opens Sales Order List filtered for Name"Ada…"
– INV 2241 → opens Posted Sales Invoice 2241
– !TEST SO 1234 → switches to your TEST environment and opens the order
It works with both BC Cloud and On-Premises URLs. Configuration is stored locally in the browser – no external server involved.

I’m happy to answer any questions here. Also open to feedback on how to improve the extension.
