Quality Inspector & Inspection Management

Key Features

Auto-generated inspections triggered by item, vendor, or routing operation via event subscribers on Purchase Receipt, Production Order, and Sales Shipment posting routines

AQL (Acceptance Quality Limit) sampling plans that calculate sample size and accept/reject criteria per lot and inspection level

Field-level pass/fail capture with numeric, range, boolean, and choice test types plus automated grading and overall lot disposition

Hold and quarantine handling that moves rejected stock to a blocked location/bin and raises a linked non-conformance record

Inspection templates and test specification library reusable across receiving, in-process, and pre-shipment gates

Page extensions surfacing inspection status, FactBoxes, and drill-downs directly on standard Business Central documents

Mobile/tablet data capture via the BC web client or an optional Power Apps front end backed by Dataverse virtual tables

Business Central API pages (REST/OData v4) exposing inspections, results, and non-conformances for Power BI and Power Automate

Permission sets for inspector, quality manager, and read-only auditor roles aligned to BC entitlement model

Job queue entries for scheduled inspection generation, overdue-inspection alerts, and quarantine aging notifications

Certificate of Analysis / inspection report layouts rendered through Business Central report objects (RDLC/Word)

Full audit trail with timestamp, user, and result history retained on inspection ledger entries for compliance review

About this Product

Quality Inspector & Inspection Management turns your paper-and-spreadsheet QC process into structured, auditable inspections inside Dynamics 365 Business Central — without forcing you into a third ERP or a bolt-on database.

It ships as a per-tenant AL extension that ECOSIRE builds for your data model and installs directly on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem). Inspection templates, test specifications, and sampling rules live in new tables; table and page extensions surface inspection status on the Purchase Receipt, Production Order, Warehouse Receipt, and Sales Shipment so quality lives where work already happens. Event subscribers on posting routines auto-generate the right inspection — by item, vendor, or routing operation — at receiving, in-process, and pre-shipment gates, so nothing posts without the QC step you defined.

Inspectors record field-level pass/fail with automated grading, apply AQL sampling plans to size samples and accept/reject lots, and trigger hold/quarantine by moving rejected stock to a blocked location or bin and raising a non-conformance record. Captured results are exposed through a Business Central API page (REST/OData v4) so dashboards, Power BI, and Power Automate flows can read inspection history, and an optional Dataverse virtual-table mapping lets Power Apps drive tablet capture on the shop floor.

This is honest build-to-order software: ECOSIRE scopes your test catalog with you, develops the extension, configures permission sets and job queue entries, deploys to a sandbox for UAT, then promotes to production. It is not an instant AppSource download. The one-time price covers the build, installation, and a documented handover; ongoing support and BC-version compatibility updates are available as an add-on plan.

What you get

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

Configured inspection templates, test specifications, and AQL sampling plans mapped to your items, vendors, and operations

Permission sets and security setup for inspector, quality manager, and auditor roles

API pages (REST/OData v4) and, where scoped, Dataverse virtual-table mapping for Power Platform integration

Job queue setup for scheduled inspection generation and quarantine/overdue alerts

UAT support, technical handover documentation, and admin/inspector training session

Who this is for

Quality Manager (Manufacturing)

Owns incoming, in-process, and final inspection. Needs structured tests by item and operation, AQL-based lot decisions, and a defensible audit trail instead of paper checklists and detached spreadsheets.

Food / Pharma Compliance Lead

Operates under traceability and audit requirements (GMP, HACCP, ISO). Needs enforced QC gates, hold/quarantine of failing lots, Certificates of Analysis, and complete result history retained in Business Central.

Operations / BC Administrator

Maintains the Business Central environment and wants quality logic delivered as a clean per-tenant extension with proper permission sets and job queues — not unmanaged customizations that break on the next BC update.

Frequently Asked Questions about Quality Inspector & Inspection Management

How long does delivery take, and what's the process?

Typical delivery is 3–6 weeks depending on the number of test types, gates, and integrations. The process is: requirements and test-catalog scoping, AL development of the per-tenant extension, deployment to your Business Central sandbox for UAT, then promotion to production with training and handover. You'll have a working build in your own sandbox before anything touches production.

Is this an AppSource app I can install myself?

No. This is build-to-order software. ECOSIRE develops it specifically for your data model and installs it as a per-tenant extension on your Business Central environment — there is no instant AppSource download. That's deliberate: it lets us match your exact items, vendors, operations, and compliance requirements rather than forcing a generic schema on you.

What does ongoing support and updates cover?

The one-time price covers the build, installation, and handover. An optional support plan covers bug fixes, compatibility updates when Microsoft ships major and minor Business Central releases (so your extension keeps installing cleanly), and configuration changes such as new test types or gates. Without a plan, the extension keeps running, but version-compatibility work is quoted per request.

Will it work with cloud Business Central (SaaS) and on-prem?

Yes. It's standard AL and deploys to Business Central online (SaaS) as a per-tenant extension, or to on-premises Business Central. The API pages use REST/OData v4 in both, and Power Platform integration via Dataverse is available on cloud tenants.

How does it integrate with Power BI, Power Automate, and Power Apps?

Inspections, results, and non-conformances are exposed through Business Central API pages (REST/OData v4), so Power BI can report on them directly and Power Automate can react to failed inspections. For shop-floor tablet capture, we can map inspection tables to Dataverse virtual tables so a Power Apps front end writes straight back into Business Central.

Can it enforce that nothing ships or posts without passing inspection?

Yes. Because generation and validation run through event subscribers on the standard posting routines, we can block posting of a receipt, output, or shipment until the required inspection reaches a passing disposition — turning QC from a paper formality into an enforced gate.
