Key Features
PostNL Shipping/Shipment webservice integration via a governed AL HttpClient with API-key/OAuth authentication and a dedicated PostNL Setup page (no hard-coded credentials)
Domestic and international parcel booking direct from Sales Order, Warehouse Shipment and Posted Sales Shipment pages through page extensions
Pickup-point and delivery-option selection, including PostNL evening, no-neighbour and parcel-locker options, validated against destination country
Label generation returned as PDF/ZPL, auto-attached to the BC document and ready for zebra/thermal printing
Track & trace synced back into BC by a scheduled job queue entry that writes delivery status onto the shipment record
Customs documentation (CN23 / commercial invoice data) auto-built from item, HS-code and country-of-origin fields for non-EU shipments
Event subscribers on shipment posting so label creation and booking fire at the correct point in your posting flow
Dedicated permission set restricting who can book, reprint or void PostNL shipments
Multi-shipper / multi-warehouse configuration supporting more than one PostNL Customer Code on a single tenant
Void / cancel shipment support that calls PostNL to reverse a booking and clears the BC tracking fields
Optional BC REST/OData v4 endpoints to drive booking and tracking from Power Automate or a Dataverse dashboard
Telemetry and error logging via the BC Application Insights signal so failed bookings are diagnosable, not silent
Built as a per-tenant extension that survives Business Central monthly/major upgrades without overwriting Microsoft base app objects
Delivered with deployment package, configuration guide and a handover walkthrough for your team
About this Product
The PostNL Shipping Connector is a custom AL extension that wires Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central directly to PostNL's Shipping and Shipment webservices, so your warehouse team books parcels, prints labels and reads track & trace status without ever leaving the Warehouse Shipment, Sales Order or Posted Sales Shipment pages.
Why Choose PostNL Shipping Connector
PostNL Shipping/Shipment webservice integration via a governed AL HttpClient with API-key/OAuth authentication and a dedicated PostNL Setup page (no hard-coded credentials)
Domestic and international parcel booking direct from Sales Order, Warehouse Shipment and Posted Sales Shipment pages through page extensions
Pickup-point and delivery-option selection, including PostNL evening, no-neighbour and parcel-locker options, validated against destination country
Label generation returned as PDF/ZPL, auto-attached to the BC document and ready for zebra/thermal printing
Track & trace synced back into BC by a scheduled job queue entry that writes delivery status onto the shipment record
Customs documentation (CN23 / commercial invoice data) auto-built from item, HS-code and country-of-origin fields for non-EU shipments
This is build-to-order, not an instant AppSource download. ECOSIRE designs, builds and installs the extension as a per-tenant extension on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem), wired to your PostNL Customer Number, Customer Code and API key. After a short discovery call we confirm your shipping flows, then deliver and support the live extension.
Technically the connector adds table and page extensions for shipping data, an outbound HTTP client (governed by HttpClient and OAuth/API-key auth where PostNL requires it), and event subscribers on shipment posting so labels generate at the right moment. A dedicated job queue entry polls PostNL track & trace and writes status back to BC. Labels return as PDF/ZPL and attach to the document; international parcels generate the required customs (CN23 / commercial invoice) data from your item and country-of-origin fields.
Everything ships behind a dedicated permission set so only authorised users can book or void shipments, and all configuration lives in a PostNL Setup page rather than hard-coded values. Where you run Power Platform, we can surface booking and tracking through the BC REST/OData v4 API for Power Automate flows or a Dataverse-synced shipping dashboard.
You own the source. ECOSIRE provides the build, the install, documentation and an agreed support window for fixes and PostNL API changes.
What you get
- A per-tenant Business Central AL extension (.app) built to your PostNL contract, installed on your environment
- PostNL Setup page configured with your Customer Number, Customer Code, collection location and API credentials
- Dedicated permission set and role assignment for shipping users
- Job queue entry configured for automated track & trace synchronisation
- Configuration and operations guide plus a live handover/walkthrough session
- An agreed post-go-live support window covering bug fixes and PostNL API changes
Who this is for
Benelux E-commerce Operations Manager
Runs a Netherlands or Belgium online store fulfilling high parcel volume and needs PostNL booking, labels and tracking inside Business Central instead of a separate shipping portal with re-keyed addresses.
Warehouse / Fulfilment Lead
Picks, packs and ships daily and wants one-click label printing from the Warehouse Shipment page, automatic track & trace, and the ability to void a mis-booked parcel without leaving BC.
Business Central Functional Consultant / IT Manager
Owns the customer's BC environment and prefers a clean per-tenant extension with its own permission set, telemetry and upgrade-safe objects over an ad-hoc in-house AL hack.

Frequently Asked Questions about PostNL Shipping Connector
+Is this a download from Microsoft AppSource?
No. This is a build-to-order extension. ECOSIRE builds it against your PostNL contract and installs it as a per-tenant extension directly on your Business Central environment. There is no instant AppSource listing to download — you get a connector tailored to your shipping flows, plus install and support.
+What is the delivery lead time after I order?
Typical lead time is about 2 to 4 weeks. It starts with a short discovery call to confirm your PostNL contract, shipping options and posting flow, followed by build, a test booking against the PostNL sandbox/production webservice, and installation on your tenant. Complex multi-warehouse or international-customs requirements may extend this, and we confirm a firm date in writing before work begins.
+How do ongoing support and updates work?
Every build includes an agreed post-go-live support window for bug fixes and adjustments. Because PostNL occasionally changes its API and Microsoft ships monthly/major Business Central updates, we offer an ongoing maintenance arrangement to keep the connector compatible. You own the source code, so you are never locked in.
+Will it survive Business Central upgrades?
Yes. It is delivered as a proper AL per-tenant extension using table and page extensions and event subscribers, so it never overwrites Microsoft base app objects. It is designed to install cleanly through BC monthly and major version upgrades, and our support window covers any compatibility fix if an upgrade changes a dependency.
+Can it connect to Power Platform or Dataverse?
Yes. The extension can expose booking and tracking through the Business Central REST/OData v4 API so you can trigger shipments from Power Automate, and shipment status can flow to a Dataverse-synced table for a Power BI or Power Apps shipping dashboard. We scope this during discovery.
