About this Product
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central has strong financials but no built-in payroll engine for African jurisdictions. Africa Multi-Country Payroll closes that gap as a per-tenant AL extension that ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and supports directly on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem).
The extension ships a dedicated Payroll role centre, employee and contract table extensions, and a statutory rules engine driven by per-country setup tables. Each jurisdiction is modelled separately: PAYE bands, reliefs and statutory contributions for Kenya (NSSF, NHIF/SHIF, Housing Levy), South Africa (PAYE, UIF, SDL), Nigeria (PAYE, Pension, NHF), Tanzania, Uganda and 20+ further nations. Rules live in configuration, not hard-coded logic, so rate and threshold changes are data edits — not redeployments.
Payroll runs post directly to Business Central General Ledger via standard posting routines, support multi-currency processing with your configured exchange rates, and isolate each legal entity for clean inter-company separation. Batch runs are scheduled through the Job Queue, and an employee self-service experience (web/Power Pages or BC user) exposes payslips and leave balances.
Because this is build-to-order, we scope your specific countries, pay elements and filing formats first, then deliver a tested extension plus permission sets, a deployment guide, and a support window. It is not an instant AppSource download — it is a tailored extension owned by you and maintained on a schedule you control. Statutory file exports (bank payment files, PAYE/contribution returns) are generated to each authority's required layout, and the BC REST/OData API plus optional Dataverse sync make payroll data available to Power BI and Power Platform.
What you get
- Scoped, per-tenant AL extension (.app) built for your selected countries and pay elements, installed on your Business Central environment

- Job Queue setup for scheduled/batch payroll processing

Frequently Asked Questions about Africa Multi-Country Payroll for Business Central
Is this an instant AppSource download?
No. This is a build-to-order extension. ECOSIRE scopes your specific countries, pay elements and filing formats, then builds, tests and installs a per-tenant AL extension on your own Business Central environment. You own the resulting extension; it is not a self-service marketplace install.
How long does delivery take?
Lead time depends on how many jurisdictions and pay elements you need. A single-country or core multi-country build typically lands within a few weeks of scoping sign-off; broader 20+ nation footprints are staged in phases. We confirm a dated delivery schedule during scoping before any payment milestone, and you get the build, install, permission sets and a training session inside that window.
How are statutory rate changes and ongoing support handled after go-live?
Statutory rates, bands and thresholds live in configuration tables, so most annual changes (PAYE bands, NSSF/UIF/pension rates) are data edits we — or your trained team — apply without a redeployment. Your purchase includes a post-go-live support window; beyond that we offer ongoing support and a statutory-update service so your packs stay current as authorities revise rules.
Will payroll post correctly into our Business Central General Ledger?
Yes. Payroll runs post through standard Business Central posting routines, carry your dimensions, respect multi-currency exchange rates, and isolate each legal entity. The result is a native, auditable GL impact — not an external import you have to reconcile manually.
Does it work with our Power BI and Power Platform stack?
Yes. Payroll data is exposed through the Business Central REST/OData API and can optionally sync to Dataverse, so you can build Power BI dashboards and Power Apps/Power Automate flows on top of payroll results. Employee self-service can be delivered through BC user access or a Power Pages portal.
