Key Features
Weekly and daily timesheet entry grids added via AL page extensions, with inline editing and running daily/weekly totals

Per-line cost rate and billing rate, resolved from resource, job or a configurable rate matrix
Multi-level approval workflow (employee → line manager → project manager) built on Business Central's native Workflow and Approval engine
Approval routing surfaced through the Job Queue, role-centre cues and notification entries for timely sign-off
Approved hours posted as Job Journal Lines — cost rate to GL and job, billing rate to WIP/invoice — via event subscribers
Dimension and shortcut-dimension support so time costs land on the right cost centre and department
REST/OData v4 API endpoints on the timesheet tables for Power BI dashboards, mobile capture and Dataverse sync
Power Platform / Dataverse integration path for Power Apps mobile entry and Power Automate reminder flows

Period and resource filtering plus open/submitted/approved status views for managers
About this Product
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central ships with a basic Resource time-sheet, but project-driven firms quickly outgrow it: no billable/non-billable split on the grid, weak approval routing, and no clean path from logged hours to job cost and payroll. Timesheet & Time Tracking for Business Central closes that gap.
Why Choose Timesheet & Time Tracking for Business Central
Weekly and daily timesheet entry grids added via AL page extensions, with inline editing and running daily/weekly totals
Project, Job, Job Task and activity-code allocation on every line, validated against your job structure
Billable vs non-billable flag per line, driving downstream invoicing vs internal cost reporting
Per-line cost rate and billing rate, resolved from resource, job or a configurable rate matrix
Multi-level approval workflow (employee → line manager → project manager) built on Business Central's native Workflow and Approval engine
Approval routing surfaced through the Job Queue, role-centre cues and notification entries for timely sign-off
This is a build-to-order AL extension, not an instant AppSource download. ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and supports it as a per-tenant extension deployed directly to your Business Central environment (cloud/SaaS or on-prem). You get source-aligned AL that fits your chart of accounts, dimensions and posting rules — not a generic app you have to bend your process around.
What it does. Page extensions add weekly and daily timesheet grids with inline Project, Job, Job Task and activity-code allocation. A table extension stores billable flags, cost rates and billing rates per line. A configurable multi-level approval workflow (built on Business Central's native Workflow + Approval engine, surfaced through the Job Queue and notifications) routes submissions from employee → line manager → project manager. On approval, event subscribers post hours as Job Journal Lines (cost-rate to GL and job, billing-rate to WIP/invoice), so project costing and customer billing stay reconciled.
Integration-ready. Standard tables are exposed via the Business Central REST/OData v4 API for Power BI, mobile capture and Dataverse / Power Platform flows. Dedicated permission sets keep entry, approval and posting segregated. Everything is delivered with deployment notes and a short handover so your team — or ours — can run it day to day.
Honest delivery: typical build and install runs 2–4 weeks from requirements sign-off, depending on approval depth and posting customization. ECOSIRE provides the AL source, the app file, installation on your tenant, and ongoing support.
What you get
- Per-tenant Business Central AL extension (.app file) built to your requirements and installed on your environment
- Full AL source: table extensions, page extensions, codeunits, event subscribers, workflow events and permission sets
- Configured multi-level approval workflow wired to your line-manager and project-manager hierarchy
- Cost-rate and billing-rate posting setup mapping approved hours to Job Journal Lines, GL and WIP
- Dedicated permission sets for entry, approval and posting, ready to assign to user groups
- REST/OData endpoint documentation plus a sample Power BI / Power Automate connection guide
- Installation on your tenant, smoke-test of a full submit-approve-post cycle, and a short admin handover session
Who this is for
Professional-services / consultancy operations lead
Runs project delivery on Business Central and needs accurate weekly time captured against jobs and tasks, with billable hours flowing cleanly into client invoicing and utilization reporting.
Project / job costing accountant
Wants approved hours to post automatically as job and GL cost at the right rate, so WIP, project margin and customer billing reconcile without manual re-keying.
Business Central administrator / IT manager
Responsible for the tenant and needs a clean per-tenant AL extension with proper permission sets, approval workflow and OData APIs — not a fragile manual customization or an over-scoped generic app.

Frequently Asked Questions about Timesheet & Time Tracking for Business Central
+How long until the timesheet extension is live on our Business Central environment?
Typical delivery is 2–4 weeks from the point your requirements are signed off — approval depth, rate logic and posting customization drive the exact timeline. ECOSIRE builds the AL extension, reviews the approval and posting design with you, installs it as a per-tenant extension on your environment, and runs a full submit-approve-post smoke test before handover. This is a build-to-order engagement, not an instant AppSource download.
+Is this on Microsoft AppSource, or how is it installed?
It is not an AppSource listing you self-download. It is a per-tenant AL extension that ECOSIRE compiles and installs directly onto your Business Central tenant (SaaS or on-prem). You receive the .app file and the full AL source, so you are never locked to us — though most clients keep us on for support and changes.
+Does it work with our existing jobs, dimensions and chart of accounts?
Yes. Because it is built to order, allocation is validated against your actual Job, Job Task and activity codes, and posting respects your GL accounts, dimensions and shortcut dimensions. We configure the cost-rate and billing-rate mapping to match how you already run job costing in Business Central.
+Can we capture time on mobile and report in Power BI?
Yes. The timesheet tables are exposed through Business Central's REST/OData v4 API, so you can build Power BI dashboards on top of them and capture entries via a Power Apps mobile screen or Dataverse sync. We include endpoint documentation and a sample connection guide; deeper Power Platform apps can be added as a follow-on scope.
+What about ongoing support and updates after go-live?
ECOSIRE supports the extension on your environment after delivery: bug fixes, permission and workflow adjustments, and recompiles to stay compatible with Microsoft's Business Central major releases (the cloud cadence is roughly twice a year). Support and enhancement terms are agreed per engagement; because you hold the AL source, you also retain the option to maintain it with your own AL developers.
