EDI Connector for Business Central

This is built to order, so lead time depends on how many trading partners and document types you need. After purchase we run a short scoping call to collect your partner specs (qualifiers, document set, transport, label requirements). A single retailer with the core 850/855/856/810/997 set is typically delivered and validated against partner test data in a few weeks; multi-partner or 3PL/cross-dock 940/945/947 scopes take longer. We install to your sandbox first, test against real partner data, then promote to production with you. We give you an honest date during scoping, not before.

ECOSIRE supports the extension on your environment. Because it is a per-tenant AL extension built on event subscribers and table/page extensions — not modifications to base Microsoft objects — it survives Business Central's automatic update cycle; we validate it against major BC releases. Onboarding a new trading partner is a configuration task using the partner mapping workspace, which we can do for you or hand off via the admin runbook. Ongoing support, partner additions and new document types are covered by a support arrangement we agree with you.

Yes. The extension targets the AL object model that is common to both, so it installs on Business Central online (cloud) and on-premises. Transport differs slightly — AS2/SFTP/VAN connectivity is configured to suit your hosting — and we confirm the right approach during scoping.

No. It adds table extensions, page extensions and event subscribers alongside the standard documents and never edits base Microsoft objects. EDI fields, the transaction log and partner configuration live in extension objects, so your Business Central stays upgrade-safe and Microsoft's update cadence is honored.

Yes. EDI documents and their status are exposed through the Business Central REST/OData API, so you can build Power BI dashboards over interchange volumes and errors, or drive Power Automate / Dataverse approval flows — for example routing 855 change responses for sign-off before they send.

Every inbound interchange is written to the EDI transaction log with its raw payload, parsed values and status before it touches a BC document, so nothing is silently lost. Unmapped or failing documents are flagged rather than posted, and you (or ECOSIRE) can adjust the partner mapping and reprocess the document from the log with one action.
