About this Product
Finance and HR teams that lend money to staff usually track it in spreadsheets bolted onto Business Central, then chase deductions by hand every payroll run. Employee Loan & Advance Management moves that whole cycle inside Business Central as a per-tenant AL extension that ECOSIRE builds, installs and supports for you.
The extension adds dedicated loan and advance documents with a request-to-approval flow driven by Business Central's native approval workflow engine and notification entries. Each approved loan generates a full installment schedule — flat or reducing-balance interest, configurable tenure, profit/no-profit options for Islamic-finance contexts common across the GCC and Asia, and grace periods. Outstanding principal, accrued interest and per-period dues are posted to ledger entries you can reconcile, not to an off-system sheet.
Recovery is automatic. An event subscriber hooks the payroll/salary posting routine (or your payroll connector) so each pay run pulls the scheduled installment, caps it against net pay, writes a deduction line and retires the matching schedule row. Early settlement recalculates remaining interest and closes the loan with a single posting. Page extensions surface live balances on the Employee card; built-in outstanding-balance and aging reports (and Power BI via the OData/REST API) give finance a portfolio view.
Because it is delivered as a tenant-specific extension — not a one-size AppSource listing — ECOSIRE shapes tables, fields, permission sets and the deduction logic to your actual loan policy and payroll setup. We deploy it to your sandbox first, validate against real pay runs, then publish to production and stay on for support. Honest delivery: this is custom work with a stated lead time, not an instant download.

Frequently Asked Questions about Employee Loan & Advance Management for Business Central
How long does delivery take, and is this an AppSource download?
This is build-to-order, not an instant AppSource install. After a short scoping call to confirm your loan policy and payroll setup, typical delivery is about one working week: we build the AL extension, deploy it to your sandbox, validate it against real pay runs with you, then publish to production. You get a firm lead time in writing before we start.
Do you provide ongoing support and updates after go-live?
Yes. Every build includes a post-go-live support window for fixes and questions, and we handle updates so the extension stays compatible with Business Central's regular cloud release cycle. Because it's a tenant-specific extension we test against new BC versions and ship updates to your environment; longer-term support and enhancement retainers are available.
How does the automatic payroll deduction actually work?
We attach an AL event subscriber to your salary/payroll posting routine (or your payroll connector). On each pay run it reads the due installment from the loan schedule, caps it against the employee's net pay, writes the deduction line, posts the recovery to the ledger, and retires the matching schedule row — so recovery happens inside the normal payroll process with no manual chasing.
Can it handle interest-free loans for Islamic-finance compliance?
Yes. The installment engine supports profit-free loans alongside flat and reducing-balance interest models. Loan types, interest treatment and recovery rules are configured to your policy on a setup page, which is why we build it per tenant rather than ship a fixed listing.
Will this break when Business Central updates, or conflict with our other apps?
No. It's delivered as a proper extension using table/page extensions and event subscribers rather than modifying the base app, so it coexists with your other extensions and survives Microsoft's update cycle. We monitor BC releases and ship a compatible update to your tenant if any breaking change appears.
