US-{NNN} — {Title}
User Story
As a {role/persona}, I want {capability — what the user wants to do}, so that {business value / outcome}.
Business Context
{2–5 short paragraphs describing the current situation, who is affected, and the operational pain points. Be specific. Quote real day-to-day questions or scenarios when possible.}
The customer's pain points are:
- {Pain point 1 — concrete, operational}
- {Pain point 2 — concrete, operational}
- {Pain point 3 — optional}
Current Situation (Standard Business Central)
Verified on Microsoft Learn (Business Central {area} documentation):
- {Verified fact #1 about how standard BC behaves today, naming the relevant standard objects/actions explicitly.}
- {Verified fact #2 ...}
- {Verified fact #3 ...}
Conclusion: {One paragraph stating exactly what standard BC already supports and what the missing piece is — the gap this user story will close.}
