About this Product

Manufacturers and exporters running Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central rarely get country e-invoicing for free. BC core handles documents, posting and a generic Electronic Document framework, but it does not ship turnkey clearance with KSA's ZATCA Fatoora, the UAE/Peppol network, Egypt's ETA portal or India's IRP/GST e-way bill — and certainly not pre-wired to your production output and posted sales invoices.

This is a build-to-order AL extension. ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and supports it on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem) as a per-tenant extension — not an instant AppSource download. We scope your countries, tax registration profiles, document layouts and the specific tax-authority gateway, then deliver a tested extension with a documented hand-over.

Technically, the extension uses table and page extensions on Sales Invoice, Sales Cr. Memo and the posted document tables; event subscribers on OnAfterPostSalesDoc and release codeunits to trigger generation at the right moment; and an HttpClient-based integration codeunit that builds the required XML/JSON (UBL 2.1 for ZATCA/Peppol, ETA JSON for Egypt, IRP payload for India), signs/submits it, and writes back the clearance status, IRN/QR or UUID onto the document. A dedicated Job Queue entry retries failed submissions and polls authority status. Compliant print templates (Word/RDLC report layouts with the embedded QR) replace your standard invoice. Permission sets, an audit log table and configurable per-company tax profiles round it out.

We work to the current published specifications of each authority at delivery time and document exactly which versions are implemented. Scope is honest: we confirm your countries before quoting, and multi-country builds are sized accordingly.

What you get

A per-tenant Business Central AL extension (.app) built for your countries, installed on your sandbox then production environment

Configuration of per-company tax profiles, authority endpoints, certificates/keys and document mappings

Compliant invoice print layouts (one per country format in scope) wired to your sales documents

Dedicated permission sets assigned to the relevant BC user roles

Job Queue setup for automatic submission, retry and status polling

Sandbox end-to-end test cycle against each authority's test/clearance environment with sample documents

Hand-over documentation: setup guide, country specs implemented (with versions/dates), and an operations runbook

An agreed support and update window for spec changes and issue resolution

Who this is for

Finance / Compliance Manager at a manufacturer

Owns VAT/GST filing and tax-authority readiness. Needs every posted sales invoice to clear ZATCA, ETA or the IRP automatically, with IRN/QR/UUID on the document and a clean audit trail for inspections.

Export-focused Operations Director

Ships to GCC, EU and Indian buyers and needs Peppol and country e-invoicing to flow from production output to dispatch without a separate portal or manual re-keying.

Business Central administrator / IT lead

Runs the BC tenant and wants a clean per-tenant extension with proper permission sets, Job Queue retries and documented endpoints — not brittle in-house customizations on the base app.

Frequently Asked Questions about Country E-Invoicing & Tax Compliance for Manufacturers

How long until it's live on our Business Central environment?

This is built to order, so lead time depends on how many countries and document formats are in scope. A single-country build (for example ZATCA or India GST alone) is typically delivered in a few weeks; multi-country scopes take longer. After scoping we give you a firm timeline. We install on your sandbox first, run a full end-to-end test against the authority's test environment, then promote to production — so go-live happens only after you've seen it clear real sample documents.

What happens with ongoing support and spec changes after delivery?

Tax authorities revise their formats — ZATCA phases, ETA schema updates, IRP API versions and Peppol profile changes all happen. Your purchase includes an agreed support and update window during which ECOSIRE handles issue resolution and keeps the in-scope country formats aligned with the published specifications. Because it's a per-tenant extension we own, we ship updates straight to your tenant. Beyond the included window, continued maintenance is available on a renewable basis.

Is this an AppSource app I can just install myself?

No. This is a custom per-tenant extension that ECOSIRE builds, installs and supports on your specific environment. There is no instant AppSource download. That's deliberate — e-invoicing depends on your tax registrations, certificates, authority endpoints and document layouts, which a one-size listing can't configure correctly.

Does it work on Business Central cloud (SaaS) and on-premises?

Yes. The extension is built in AL to current per-tenant extension standards, so it deploys on Business Central Online (SaaS) and on supported on-prem versions. Where a country requires local certificate handling or a signing component (for example ZATCA's cryptographic stamp), we confirm the right architecture for your deployment during scoping.

Will it fit our manufacturing documents, not just generic sales invoices?

Yes — that's the point of this build. We map your manufacturing flow so that production output, item tracking and BOM-driven line detail surface correctly on the compliant invoice, and we trigger generation at the right lifecycle stage (post, release or dispatch). India's e-way bill, for instance, is wired to the dispatch event rather than just invoice posting.
