About this Product
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central handles items, lots, production orders and vendors — but it has no native quality module for logging non-conformances or driving a closed-loop CAPA process. Quality teams pursuing ISO 9001 end up tracking it all in spreadsheets that disconnect from the ERP and collapse under audit.
Non-Conformance & CAPA Management is an AL extension that ECOSIRE builds, installs and supports directly on your Business Central environment. It is not an instant AppSource download — we scope it to your processes, develop it against your tenant, and deploy it as a per-tenant extension you own.
The extension adds a Non-Conformance Report (NCR) card and list, implemented as new AL tables and pages, with table relations to Item, Lot No. Information, Production/Sales/Purchase Order and Vendor so every NCR is traceable to the lot, order and supplier that caused it. A structured 5-Why and 8D root-cause workflow drives each NCR through Open → Investigation → CAPA → Verification → Closed states. Corrective and preventive actions are assignable records with owners, due dates and Job Queue–driven escalation reminders. Supplier Corrective Action Requests (SCAR) link to the vendor, and cost-of-quality plus recurrence are captured as FlowFields for management reporting.
Approvals run on Business Central's native workflow engine and document-approval framework, so sign-offs are enforced and every change is captured by the platform's Change Log for a defensible audit trail. Event subscribers can auto-raise an NCR from a failed inspection or rejected receipt. We ship dedicated permission sets and, where required, expose NCR/CAPA data via the standard OData/REST API or surface it in Power BI and the Power Platform via Dataverse.
What you get
- Scoped requirements and a process-fit workshop mapping your quality flow to NCR, root-cause and CAPA states before any code is written
- A signed, per-tenant Business Central AL extension (.app) built for your environment — source-owned by you, no AppSource lock-in
- Installation on your sandbox first, then production, via the BC Admin Center / extension management as a per-tenant deployment
- Configured permission sets, approval workflows and Job Queue entries for escalation, set up in your tenant
- API pages and, where requested, Power BI / Dataverse integration wired to your Power Platform environment
- User and administrator documentation plus a recorded handover/training session for the quality team
- Source code handover and a defined warranty/support window with an SLA for fixes and BC version-update compatibility
Who this is for
Quality Manager pursuing ISO 9001
Owns the QMS and needs a closed-loop, auditable CAPA process inside the ERP rather than disconnected spreadsheets, with evidence ready for certification audits.
Manufacturing Quality Engineer
Logs daily non-conformances on the shop floor, runs 5-Why/8D investigations, and assigns corrective actions tied to the actual lot, production order and defect.
Supplier Quality / Procurement Lead
Issues SCARs to vendors, tracks supplier response and effectiveness, and uses recurrence and cost-of-quality data to drive supplier scorecards.
Business Central Administrator / IT Lead
Wants a clean per-tenant extension that respects BC's permission model, upgrades safely across BC release waves, and exposes data via standard OData/Dataverse without custom hacks.

Frequently Asked Questions about Non-Conformance & CAPA Management
How long does delivery take, and is this on AppSource?
This is a build-to-order extension, not an instant AppSource download. Typical delivery is one working week: a scoping workshop, AL development against a sandbox, your UAT, then production install. The exact timeline is confirmed after scoping, since it depends on how much your NCR/CAPA flow deviates from the standard pattern and whether Power BI/Dataverse integration is in scope.
What ongoing support and updates do I get?
The build includes a warranty window and an ongoing support option covering bug fixes, configuration help and compatibility with Business Central's twice-yearly release waves (so the extension keeps installing cleanly as Microsoft updates BC). You own the AL source, so you can also extend it yourself or have ECOSIRE add modules later under a support agreement.
How is it installed without disrupting our live environment?
It deploys as a per-tenant extension. We install and test on your Business Central sandbox first, run UAT with your quality team, then publish to production through the Admin Center extension management. Because it is an extension (not customized base code), it layers cleanly over standard BC and is removable.
Can it auto-create non-conformances from existing transactions?
Yes. We use AL event subscribers to hook into events such as rejected purchase receipts, failed quality inspections or item-tracking flags, so an NCR can be raised automatically with the source lot, order and vendor pre-populated. The exact triggers are agreed during scoping.
Will the audit trail hold up for an ISO 9001 certification audit?
It is designed for that. Every status transition is logged, approvals run on BC's native document-approval engine with full approval-entry history, and the platform Change Log captures field-level changes. Auditors get a defensible, time-stamped record from NCR creation through CAPA verification and closure, all inside the ERP.
