Key Features
Recipe/formula cards replacing rigid Production BOM quantities with ratio- and percentage-based ingredient lines that always sum to 100%
Batch sizing engine that scales an entire recipe to a target output quantity, recalculating every ingredient line proportionally
Co-product and by-product output lines that post to inventory in the same production run as the main product
Catch-weight and variable-yield support reconciling actual posted output against theoretical yield with configurable tolerance
Potency/concentration-based ingredient calculation (active-ingredient assay, dilution-to-target, on-hand strength adjustment)
Table and page extensions over Item, Production BOM and Production Order — no parallel data model, no separate app to reconcile
Event subscribers on production order release, refresh and consumption/output posting to apply scaling and yield logic automatically
Recipe versioning with effective dates and status (under development / certified / closed) for regulatory traceability
BC REST/OData v4 API endpoints exposing recipes and batch calculations for LIMS, lab systems and Power Platform / Dataverse flows
Job queue entries for scheduled batch recalculation and yield-variance reporting
Dedicated permission sets separating recipe authoring (R&D/QA) from shop-floor execution
Unit-of-measure conversion handling for ingredients stocked and consumed in different UoMs (kg in, L out, etc.)
Yield-variance analysis pages and account schedules surfacing theoretical-vs-actual loss per batch and per item
About this Product
Business Central's core manufacturing is built for discrete assembly: rigid Production BOMs with fixed component quantities and one finished item per order. Process manufacturers don't work that way. You make product by formula, scale a recipe to a target batch, and one run yields a main product plus co-products and by-products at variable, catch-weight quantities. Forcing that into standard BOMs means spreadsheets, manual back-flush corrections and inventory that never reconciles.
Why Choose Process Manufacturing: Formula & Recipe Management
Recipe/formula cards replacing rigid Production BOM quantities with ratio- and percentage-based ingredient lines that always sum to 100%
Batch sizing engine that scales an entire recipe to a target output quantity, recalculating every ingredient line proportionally
Co-product and by-product output lines that post to inventory in the same production run as the main product
Catch-weight and variable-yield support reconciling actual posted output against theoretical yield with configurable tolerance

Table and page extensions over Item, Production BOM and Production Order — no parallel data model, no separate app to reconcile
This is a build-to-order extension that ECOSIRE designs, builds in AL, and installs as a per-tenant extension directly on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem) — it is not an instant AppSource download. We implement it with proper table and page extensions over Production BOM, Item, and Production Order; event subscribers on order release, refresh and consumption posting; and dedicated permission sets so your operators see only what they should.
What you get: recipe/formula cards that replace rigid BOM quantities with ratio- and percentage-based ingredient lines; batch sizing that scales the whole recipe to a target output quantity; co-product and by-product output lines that post to inventory in the same run; catch-weight and variable-yield reconciliation against theoretical yield; and potency/concentration-based ingredient math (active-ingredient assay, dilution-to-target). Recipes are exposed over the BC REST/OData v4 API for integration with lab, LIMS or Power Platform flows, and recurring recalculation runs via the job queue.
Because it's built on standard BC extension points, it survives Microsoft's monthly and major updates, ships through your existing environment, and stays under ECOSIRE support. We scope to your formulas first, so the rounding rules, UoM conversions and yield tolerances match how your plant actually runs.
What you get
- Per-tenant AL extension (.app) built to your formula, UoM and yield rules, installed on your Business Central environment
- Source code in a Git repository handed to you, with AL project structure, app.json and dependency manifest
- Recipe/formula cards, batch-sizing actions and co-product/by-product output pages wired into the Manufacturing role center
- Configured permission sets and entitlements for recipe authoring vs shop-floor roles
- BC REST/OData v4 API endpoints documented for your LIMS / Power Platform integration
- Migration of an initial set of existing BOMs/recipes into formula cards (agreed scope), plus a data-entry guide
- Deployment runbook covering install, update-survival and rollback on cloud SaaS or on-prem
- Admin and operator handover session plus written documentation, followed by a post-go-live support window
Who this is for
Process Manufacturing Operations Lead
Runs a plant where product is made by formula, not assembly — food, beverage, chemical or cosmetics. Needs to scale recipes to batch size and stop reconciling yield in spreadsheets.
QA / Regulatory Manager
Owns formula accuracy, potency/assay control and traceability. Needs versioned, certified recipes and active-ingredient math that holds up to audit, not free-text notes on a BOM.
Business Central IT / Partner Admin
Maintains the BC tenant and worries about update survival and data integrity. Wants a clean per-tenant extension on standard extension points, not unsupported customizations that break each release.

Frequently Asked Questions about Process Manufacturing: Formula & Recipe Management
+How long until it's live, and how is it delivered?
This is build-to-order, not an instant download. After a scoping call to capture your formulas, UoM conversions and yield tolerances, a typical build runs about 3 to 6 weeks depending on complexity (potency math, co-product accounting and LIMS integration add time). We deliver it as a per-tenant AL extension installed on your Business Central environment — cloud SaaS via your admin center or on-prem — with a deployment runbook. You get the source code and a Git repo, so you're never locked in.
+Will it survive Microsoft's Business Central updates, and what does ongoing support look like?
Yes. It's built entirely on supported AL extension points — table/page extensions and event subscribers — so it rides through monthly and major BC updates rather than breaking on them. ECOSIRE provides a post-go-live support window included in the build, then an optional ongoing support/maintenance plan covering compatibility checks against new BC versions, bug fixes and small enhancements. Because you hold the source, another partner could also maintain it if you ever choose to.
+How is this different from just adding more lines to a standard Production BOM?
Standard BOMs hold fixed component quantities and produce one finished item. They have no native concept of scaling a whole recipe to a target batch, no co-product/by-product outputs in a single run, no catch-weight reconciliation, and no potency-based ingredient math. This extension adds all of that on top of the standard tables, so you keep BC's costing and posting while gaining real process-manufacturing behaviour.
+Can it integrate with our lab/LIMS or Power Platform?
Yes. Recipes and batch calculations are exposed over the Business Central REST/OData v4 API, so a LIMS, lab system, Power Automate flow or Dataverse-backed Power App can read formulas and push assay results back. We document the endpoints as part of delivery and can build a specific integration as additional scope.
+Does it handle ingredients measured in different units and variable potency?
Yes. It applies UoM conversions per ingredient (e.g. stocked in kg, consumed in litres) and supports potency/concentration math — calculating required quantity from the on-hand active-ingredient strength to hit a target assay, including dilution-to-target. Rounding rules and tolerances are configured to match your plant during the build.
