Key Features
Scheduled full (wall-to-wall) and ABC cycle counts driven by the Business Central Job Queue, so high-value items are counted more often without manual setup each cycle
Mobile-friendly count entry by location and bin with barcode / item-reference scanning, optimised for handheld scanners and tablets on the shop floor
Blind-count mode that hides expected on-hand quantities so staff record actual counts, reducing bias and copy-the-system errors
Configurable re-count workflows that automatically route variances above a threshold for a mandatory second count before posting
Variance review page showing quantity and value impact per line, with sorting and filtering to focus on the costliest discrepancies
Approval step gated by Business Central permission sets — only authorised users can sign off adjustments, with who/when captured for audit
Direct posting of approved variances as item adjustments through native BC physical-inventory / item-journal routines, preserving costing and item ledger entries
Count sessions scoped per location, warehouse or bin range so stores can count in zones while the rest of the business keeps trading
Implemented as AL table and page extensions plus event subscribers over standard inventory objects — no modification of the base application
Secured REST/OData API endpoints and optional Dataverse / Power Platform integration for Power Apps count tasks and Power Automate notifications
Telemetry to Application Insights and an exportable count history for audit and stock-loss analysis
Dedicated permission sets for counters, supervisors and approvers, aligned to least-privilege access
About this Product
Inventory Stocktake & Cycle Count is a custom Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central extension that lets retailers count stock accurately and auditably without closing the shop floor. It is built to order by ECOSIRE, then installed as a per-tenant (non-AppSource) extension directly into your Business Central environment and supported by us afterward. This is not an instant marketplace download — we scope it to your physical-inventory process, build it in AL, deploy it, and stay on to maintain it.
Why Choose Inventory Stocktake & Cycle Count
Scheduled full (wall-to-wall) and ABC cycle counts driven by the Business Central Job Queue, so high-value items are counted more often without manual setup each cycle
Mobile-friendly count entry by location and bin with barcode / item-reference scanning, optimised for handheld scanners and tablets on the shop floor
Blind-count mode that hides expected on-hand quantities so staff record actual counts, reducing bias and copy-the-system errors
Configurable re-count workflows that automatically route variances above a threshold for a mandatory second count before posting
Variance review page showing quantity and value impact per line, with sorting and filtering to focus on the costliest discrepancies
Approval step gated by Business Central permission sets — only authorised users can sign off adjustments, with who/when captured for audit
Under the hood it is implemented as a set of table and page extensions over the standard Phys. Inventory Order / Phys. Invt. Recording and Item Journal objects, plus dedicated count-session pages designed for touch and handheld use. Counters enter quantities by location and bin, scanning item barcodes or item references; blind counts hide the expected quantity so staff record what they actually see, and configurable re-count workflows route discrepancies for a second pass before anything is posted.
Counts can be scheduled — a full wall-to-wall count or ABC cycle counts that hit high-value (A) items more frequently — using the BC Job Queue to open sessions automatically. Variances are surfaced on a review page with value impact, then pushed through an approval step (permission-set gated) so only authorised users sign off. On approval the extension posts item adjustments through the standard Business Central item journal/physical-inventory posting routines, keeping costing, item ledger entries and the audit trail fully native.
Mobile and integration access uses the secured Business Central REST/OData API; optional Power Platform / Dataverse hooks let you surface count tasks in a Power App or trigger Power Automate flows. Everything ships with permission sets, telemetry and documentation. Pricing below is the one-time build; environment, lead time and support are covered in the FAQs.

Who this is for
Retail Inventory / Stock Controller
Owns physical-inventory accuracy across one or more stores. Needs scheduled cycle counts, blind counting to stop staff bias, and confidence that approved variances post cleanly to Business Central costing.
Store / Operations Manager
Runs the shop floor and cannot halt trading for a full count. Wants zone-based counting by location and bin so part of the store is counted while the rest keeps selling, with clear variance visibility.
Finance / Controller
Cares about auditability and stock-loss exposure. Needs an approval gate before adjustments hit the item ledger, a record of who signed off, and native costing impact rather than off-book spreadsheets.

Frequently Asked Questions about Inventory Stocktake & Cycle Count
+How is this delivered — is it an instant AppSource download?
No. This is a build-to-order extension. After purchase ECOSIRE scopes it to your physical-inventory process, builds it in AL, and installs it as a per-tenant extension into your Business Central sandbox and then production environment. You do not download it yourself from AppSource — we deploy and validate it for you.
+What is the typical lead time?
Most builds go live in roughly 2 to 4 weeks from the kickoff call, depending on how many locations, bins and scanner devices are involved and how custom your approval rules are. We confirm a firm schedule after a short scoping session and deploy to a sandbox first so you can sign off before production.
+What happens to ongoing support and updates after go-live?
The one-time build price includes hypercare through your first live count and bug fixes for the delivered scope. After that, ECOSIRE offers an optional support plan covering BC version-update compatibility (Microsoft ships major updates twice a year), enhancements and priority response. Because it is a per-tenant extension on your environment, we can patch and redeploy without waiting on a marketplace review cycle.
+Will it work with our existing Business Central setup and barcode scanners?
Yes. It is built as table and page extensions plus event subscribers over the standard inventory objects, so it sits alongside your current configuration without modifying the base application. Count entry is designed for handheld scanners and tablets via barcode and item references; we test against your actual devices and your location/bin structure during the sandbox pass.
+How does posting affect our inventory valuation and audit trail?
Approved variances post as item adjustments through native Business Central physical-inventory and item-journal routines. That means costing, item ledger entries and value entries are created the standard way — nothing is written off-book. The approval step records who signed off and when, and count history is exportable for audit and stock-loss analysis.
