About this Product
Performance Appraisal & Reviews for Business Central brings the full review cycle into the same Dynamics 365 Business Central environment where your HR, payroll and employee records already live — no separate HR system to reconcile.
This is a build-to-order extension, not an instant AppSource download. ECOSIRE builds it in the AL language as a per-tenant (or AppSource-style) extension, deploys it to your Business Central Online or on-premises tenant, and supports it after go-live. We tailor the rating scales, competency framework and review templates to your actual appraisal policy rather than forcing your process into a fixed app.
Under the hood the extension adds new tables for goals/OKRs, review cycles, rating scales and competency assessments, plus table and page extensions on the standard Employee card and HR role centre. Manager and 360° reviewer flows are driven through Business Central pages, Notifications and the Job Queue for cycle reminders and escalations. A calibration workspace and a 9-box talent grid let leaders moderate ratings before they are locked, and approved merit recommendations link straight to compensation/payroll fields on the employee record.
Everything is exposed through the Business Central REST/OData v4 API so review data can flow to Power BI, Power Apps or Dataverse via Power Platform integration. Permission sets scope who can see goals, draft reviews and final calibrated scores. Because it ships as a proper AL extension, it survives Business Central monthly and major upgrades — ECOSIRE recompiles and re-validates against each new runtime so your appraisal cycle keeps running.
Delivery is honest: we scope, build, deploy to your sandbox for UAT, then promote to production with you. Typical turnaround is a few weeks depending on configuration depth.
What you get
- A working AL extension (.app) deployed to your Business Central tenant as a per-tenant extension, or packaged AppSource-style if you prefer
- Source code in a Git repository handed to you, including the AL objects, permission sets and any event subscribers
- Configured rating scales, competency framework and review templates matched to your appraisal policy
- Deployment to your sandbox environment for UAT, then promotion to production with you
- Permission sets and a short admin guide covering goal/review/calibration access roles
- Documentation of the REST/OData endpoints plus a sample Power BI or Power Platform connection for performance reporting
- Post-go-live support window with bug fixes and Business Central upgrade re-validation
Who this is for
HR Director running annual cycles
Owns the company-wide appraisal calendar and needs goals, 360° reviews and calibration to run inside Business Central instead of spreadsheets and a disconnected HR tool.
HR Business Partner / People Ops Manager
Configures templates and rating scales per department, chases managers through review stages, and wants Job Queue reminders to keep cycles on track without manual nagging.
Business Central Administrator / IT Lead
Wants a proper AL extension with clean permission sets that survives monthly upgrades, rather than ad-hoc customisations that break on the next BC release.
Department Manager / Team Lead
Sets and tracks team goals, completes manager reviews, participates in calibration and recommends merit increases — all from the Business Central employee pages.

Frequently Asked Questions about Performance Appraisal & Reviews for Business Central
How long does delivery take and how is it installed?
This is build-to-order, so it is not an instant download. After we confirm scope, typical turnaround is a few weeks depending on how much template, rating-scale and competency configuration you need. ECOSIRE builds the AL extension, deploys it to your Business Central sandbox for you to test (UAT), and then promotes it to production with you as a per-tenant extension on your tenant.
What ongoing support and updates do I get after go-live?
You get a post-go-live support window covering bug fixes and questions. Because it ships as a real AL extension, ECOSIRE re-validates and recompiles it against Business Central monthly and major-version updates so your review cycles keep working through upgrades. Beyond the included window, ongoing maintenance and enhancement is available as a support retainer or per-change basis.
Does this work on Business Central Online (SaaS) and on-premises?
Yes. The extension is written in AL and deploys to Business Central Online as a per-tenant extension, and can also be installed on supported on-premises deployments. The REST/OData and Job Queue features used are available in both.
Can review data feed Power BI, Power Apps or Dataverse?
Yes. Goals, reviews, ratings and 9-box data are exposed through the Business Central REST/OData v4 API, so you can build Power BI dashboards or connect via Power Platform and Dataverse. We include sample endpoint documentation and one example connection.
Do you own my data and can I keep the source code?
Your data stays in your own Business Central tenant — ECOSIRE does not host it. You also receive the AL source code in a Git repository, so you are never locked to us; another Business Central partner could maintain it if you ever chose to.
