About this Product
Business Central ships a Cash Flow Forecast feature, but most finance teams outgrow it fast: it is largely manual, single-scenario, weak on multi-currency liquidity, and hard to reconcile against what actually happened. This is a build-to-order extension that replaces guesswork with a living, rolling forecast wired directly into your own BC tenant.
ECOSIRE builds the app in AL as a per-tenant extension (not a generic AppSource download). We model your forecast logic against the data you already have: open Customer Ledger Entries and Vendor Ledger Entries for AR/AP timing, Bank Account Ledger Entries for opening liquidity, and recurring commitments you define. Table and page extensions surface a rolling daily/weekly/monthly horizon; event subscribers keep projections fresh as documents post; and a job queue entry recalculates on your schedule.
Because it lives inside Business Central, the forecast respects your permission sets, dimensions and currencies. Multi-currency balances are presented in your reporting currency with the exchange logic you operate under. Scenario and what-if levers (delay a vendor run, stretch DSO, model a capex or a loan draw) let the CFO test liquidity before committing. A forecast-vs-actual view closes the loop so the model gets sharper each period.
We can expose forecast data via the BC REST/OData API for Power BI, or push it to Dataverse for Power Platform reporting. After build, ECOSIRE installs the extension on your sandbox, validates against real ledgers, deploys to production, and supports it on an agreed plan. Honest lead time, real ownership, no black box.

Who this is for
CFO / Finance Director
Needs a reliable forward view of cash 13 weeks and beyond, with scenarios to defend funding and spending decisions to the board — without exporting BC to spreadsheets every Monday.
Group Treasurer
Manages liquidity across multiple bank accounts and currencies and wants a consolidated reporting-currency view of available cash and upcoming commitments straight from the ledgers.
Financial Controller / BC Power User
Owns the day-to-day numbers, reconciles forecast against actuals, and wants forecasting embedded in Business Central with permission control rather than a fragile external model.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cash Flow Forecasting & Liquidity for Business Central
How long does delivery take, and is this an instant AppSource download?
No — this is build-to-order, not an instant AppSource install. ECOSIRE builds the extension in AL for your specific tenant. Typical lead time is about 3 to 5 weeks depending on the complexity of your AR/AP terms, multi-currency setup and reporting requirements. We confirm a firm schedule after a short scoping call, build and test on your sandbox, then deploy to production once you sign off.
How is the app installed in our Business Central environment?
We install it as a per-tenant extension (a private .app published to your environment), not a shared AppSource listing. ECOSIRE publishes and installs it on your sandbox first, validates the forecast against your live Customer, Vendor and Bank ledger entries, then deploys the same extension to production. It runs entirely inside your tenant under your own permission sets.
What happens with ongoing support and Business Central updates?
Business Central ships monthly minor and twice-yearly major updates. Under an agreed support plan, ECOSIRE keeps the extension compatible across those releases, tests against each major upgrade on your sandbox before it reaches production, and handles fixes and small enhancements. You always hold the source, so you are never locked to us.
Can the forecast feed Power BI or the Power Platform?
Yes. We can expose forecast and liquidity data through the Business Central REST/OData API for direct Power BI consumption, and optionally sync it to a Dataverse table so Power Apps and Power Automate flows can build on it. The integration is scoped during the build to match how your team already reports.
How is this different from the native Business Central cash flow forecast?
The native feature exists but is largely manual, single-scenario, and limited on multi-currency liquidity and variance analysis. This extension automates the rolling horizon from your ledgers, adds what-if scenarios, presents a consolidated multi-currency liquidity view in your reporting currency, and reconciles forecast against actuals each period — all inside BC and under your permissions.
