About this Product
Most Business Central teams still export a payment suggestion, hand-build a bank file in a spreadsheet, email it for sign-off, and re-key the cleared payments back into the ledger. This extension replaces that manual loop with an end-to-end, audited payment pipeline that lives natively inside your Business Central tenant.
We build it as a per-tenant AL extension (not a generic AppSource listing), so the bank-file layouts, approval thresholds and reconciliation rules match your actual banks and your finance org. The app extends the Payment Journal and Vendor/Employee/Customer pages, adds table and page extensions for bank profiles and payment status, and uses event subscribers on posting and approval events so nothing is bolted on with brittle customizations.
A payment run pulls due entries (vendors, employee expense reimbursements, and customer refunds), applies your selection and grouping rules, then renders compliant bank files — SEPA pain.001, US NACHA ACH, UK BACS, and generic ISO 20022 — ready for upload or API submission to your bank. Built-in approval workflows route runs through Business Central's native approval engine with segregation of duties enforced by permission sets, so the person who creates a run cannot release it. Positive-pay export and configurable fraud checks (duplicate detection, bank-detail change holds, beneficiary allow-lists) protect the disbursement.
After payment, a status/return-file importer (pain.002, ACK/NACK, bank statement matching) updates payment status and auto-applies cleared payments, closing the reconciliation gap. Optional Power Platform / Dataverse integration surfaces approvals and dashboards in Power BI and Teams.
ECOSIRE scopes, builds, installs and supports the extension on your environment. Honest, fixed one-time build price; ongoing support and BC-update compatibility available as an option.

Who this is for
AP / Treasury Manager
Owns the outbound payment cycle and wants to stop hand-building bank files in spreadsheets. Needs reliable SEPA/NACHA/BACS output, enforced approvals, and audit evidence without leaving Business Central.
Continia / third-party tool migrator
Currently runs Continia Payment Management or a similar add-on and wants a tailored, owned extension with the same bank formats and approval flow, scoped to exactly what they use — without per-user subscription creep.
Finance Controller / Compliance Lead
Cares about segregation of duties, positive-pay, and SOX/ICFR audit trails. Needs to prove that the creator of a payment run cannot release it and that every disbursement is logged end to end.
Business Central Partner / IT Lead
Wants a clean, upgrade-safe AL extension installed per-tenant with permission sets and event subscribers — not invasive base-app modifications that break on the next BC update.

Frequently Asked Questions about Vendor / Accounts Payable Payments Automation for Business Central
How long until the extension is live on our Business Central tenant?
This is build-to-order, not an instant AppSource download. After a short scoping call to confirm your banks, file formats, approval thresholds and reconciliation rules, a typical build runs about one working week depending on how many bank formats and integrations are involved. We build and test in your sandbox first, run UAT with your AP team, then install in production. You'll get a firm timeline in the scope document before any work starts.
What does ongoing support and updates include after go-live?
The one-time build price covers delivery, installation and an initial post-launch support window. Beyond that we offer an optional support plan covering bug fixes, configuration changes (new banks, changed file specs, new approvers), and compatibility checks against Business Central's monthly and major releases so the per-tenant extension keeps working after platform updates. You own the source code regardless, so you're never locked in.
Why a per-tenant extension instead of an off-the-shelf AppSource app?
AppSource apps must satisfy every customer with one configurable codebase, which means generic bank mappings and features you may never use. A per-tenant AL extension is built and installed directly on your environment, so the bank-file layouts, approval routing and fraud rules match your reality exactly. It still follows AL extension best practices — table/page extensions, event subscribers, permission sets — so it stays upgrade-safe through BC updates.
Which bank file formats and countries are supported?
Out of scope we cover SEPA Credit Transfer (pain.001), US NACHA ACH, UK BACS Standard 18, and generic ISO 20022. Because formats are configured as bank profiles (a table extension), we map to your specific bank's variant of these standards during the build. If your bank uses a proprietary or local format, we include it in scope and validate against their published specification.
Will it break our existing Business Central customizations or upgrades?
No. The app is delivered as a proper AL extension using table extensions, page extensions, event subscribers and dedicated permission sets — it does not modify the base application. This is the same model Microsoft requires for upgrade-safe code, so it coexists with your other extensions and survives Business Central's monthly and major updates. We test against the target BC version before install and validate again on your sandbox.
Can it integrate with Power BI, Teams, or our bank's API?
Yes. The extension exposes payment runs and status through the Business Central REST/OData API, so RPA bots, treasury portals or a bank's payment API can submit runs and pull status. Optional Dataverse / Power Platform integration surfaces approvals in Teams, dashboards in Power BI, and event-driven flows in Power Automate. These integrations are scoped and priced based on what you need.
