About this Product
Year-End Closing & Financial Period Management is a custom Business Central extension that ECOSIRE builds, installs, and supports on your environment. It replaces the spreadsheet-and-email close ritual with a structured, auditable workflow living directly inside Business Central.
The extension is delivered as a per-tenant AL extension (not a generic AppSource listing) so it can be shaped to your chart of accounts, dimensions, accounting periods, and approval culture. We deploy it to your Business Central Online (SaaS) or on-premises tenant, configure it against your real data, and hand over documentation and training.
At its core is a close checklist with task ownership, due offsets relative to your period-end, and sign-off — implemented with custom AL tables and pages, surfaced on Role Center cues. Recurring and accrual journals are scheduled through the Job Queue so reversing accruals and standard recurring entries post on cadence without manual intervention. A reconciliation tracker lets controllers attest G/L control accounts (bank, AR, AP, inventory, intercompany) against subledgers and mark variances resolved.
Period lock and reopen controls wrap Business Central's native allow-posting dates with role-aware enforcement via event subscribers on posting routines, plus a logged reopen path with reason capture for audit. A close status dashboard shows percent-complete, blocked tasks, and owner workload.
We use table/page extensions and event subscribers (not core modification), publish dedicated permission sets, and can expose close status over the OData/REST API or surface it in Power BI / Power Platform for dashboards and Teams notifications. Optional Dataverse sync is available where you run Power Platform alongside BC. Everything is honest, scoped, and supported — no black box.

Who this is for
Financial Controller
Owns month-end and year-end close and wants a single auditable place to assign tasks, track sign-offs, and prove the period was closed cleanly — without chasing email threads and spreadsheets.
Accounting Manager / Senior Accountant
Executes the close: posts accruals and recurring journals, reconciles control accounts to subledgers, and clears blockers. Wants automation for repetitive entries and a clear view of what's left.
BC Administrator / IT Finance Lead
Responsible for the Business Central tenant. Wants an upgrade-safe per-tenant extension built with event subscribers and permission sets — not core modifications — and a clear support path for updates.

Frequently Asked Questions about Year-End Closing & Financial Period Management for Business Central
Is this an instant download from Microsoft AppSource?
No. This is a build-to-order extension. ECOSIRE builds it as a per-tenant AL extension tailored to your chart of accounts, dimensions, and accounting periods, then installs it on your Business Central environment. There is no instant AppSource download — the value is that it fits your actual setup rather than being generic.
What is the delivery lead time after I order?
Typical delivery is one working week from the kickoff call, depending on the number of legal entities, the complexity of your reconciliation accounts, and any Power Platform or OData integration you request. We confirm a firm timeline during scoping. You receive interim builds for review before the final per-tenant publish to your tenant.
How does ongoing support and updates work?
After go-live ECOSIRE provides a support period for bug fixes and configuration adjustments. Because it's built with table/page extensions and event subscribers rather than core modifications, the extension is upgrade-safe across Microsoft's Business Central release waves; we offer a maintenance arrangement to recompile, test, and republish against new BC versions and to add checklist or reconciliation logic as your close evolves.
Does it work with multiple companies in one Business Central tenant?
Yes. Close cycles are company-aware, so each legal entity runs its own checklist, accruals, and reconciliation tracking within the same tenant. Controllers overseeing several entities get a consolidated status view, and period lock controls are enforced per company.
Will it modify or risk our existing financial data?
No core Business Central objects are modified. The extension reads your G/L, subledgers, and accounting periods and adds its own tables, pages, and event-subscriber logic. Accruals and recurring journals post through standard Business Central posting routines, so all entries follow your existing audit trail, number series, and approval controls.
