Über dieses Produkt

Native Business Central approvals are limited: a fixed approver hierarchy, email notifications that bounce you back into the web client, and little room for conditional logic without code. This ECOSIRE extension replaces that with a real workflow engine — and lets people approve where they already work.

What it does. We build a per-tenant AL extension that adds conditional, multi-level approval matrices on top of the standard Approval Entry and Workflow tables. Routing is driven by document type, amount thresholds, dimensions, vendor/customer, or any field you choose — implemented with table extensions, page extensions, and event subscribers on the standard approval codeunits (so we extend BC, never fork it). When a document enters approval, the engine calls out through an Azure-hosted relay to post an adaptive card into the approver's Microsoft Teams chat and Outlook inbox. They approve or reject inline; the response flows back via the BC REST/OData v4 API and updates the approval entry — no need to open the web client.

Beyond native. Substitute / out-of-office routing reassigns pending approvals automatically. Mobile push lands through the Teams app. Every action — request, approve, reject, delegate, escalate — is written to a tamper-evident audit log with user, timestamp, and comment. A Job Queue entry handles escalations and reminders on a schedule you set.

How we deliver. This is build-to-order. After purchase, ECOSIRE scopes your approval rules, builds the extension, installs it as a per-tenant extension (or via your Power Platform / Dataverse environment where Teams integration warrants it), assigns the required permission sets, and validates end-to-end on your tenant — sandbox first, then production. You get the source, the documentation, and ongoing support. No AppSource listing, no instant download — a working extension on your environment.

Was Sie bekommen

  • A per-tenant AL extension (.app) built to your approval rules, installed on your sandbox then production Business Central environment
  • Azure-hosted relay/gateway configuration that bridges BC and the Teams/Outlook adaptive-card channels
  • Configured multi-level approval matrices matching your document types, thresholds, and org hierarchy
  • Permission sets scoped to workflow administrators and approvers, assigned in your environment
  • Job Queue entries for escalation and reminder scheduling
  • Full AL source code, a deployment runbook, and admin/approver documentation
  • End-to-end validation sign-off (sandbox + production) and a post-go-live support window

Für wen das ist

Finance Controller / CFO

Needs enforceable spending controls — multi-level sign-off on purchase orders and invoices by amount and cost center — without chasing approvers through email. Wants an audit trail that survives a financial audit.

Business Central Administrator / IT Manager

Owns the BC tenant and wants approvals extended cleanly via a supported per-tenant extension with scoped permission sets, not brittle customizations that break on the next Microsoft release wave.

Operations / Procurement Manager

Approves dozens of documents a week and lives in Teams and Outlook. Wants to approve or reject inline from an adaptive card on desktop or mobile, with substitute routing so nothing stalls during leave.

Häufig gestellte Fragen zu Approvals & Workflow with Teams/Outlook Cards for Business Central

How long until the extension is live on our environment?

Typical delivery is one working week from when we finalize your approval rules. We start with a short scoping call to map document types, thresholds, and your org hierarchy, build the AL extension, install and test it on your sandbox, then deploy to production with you. Complex matrices or Dataverse/Power Platform integration can extend the timeline; we confirm a firm date after scoping.

This is build-to-order — there's no AppSource download, right?

Correct. We do not publish this to AppSource for instant install. ECOSIRE builds it specifically for your tenant and installs it as a per-tenant extension on your Business Central environment. You receive the compiled .app, the full AL source, and documentation — it runs on your tenant, configured to your rules.

What about ongoing support and Microsoft update waves?

Each build includes a post-go-live support window for fixes and tuning. Because we build on standard approval tables and event subscribers rather than modifying base objects, the extension is resilient across BC update waves; we offer an ongoing maintenance option that retests and recompiles your extension against each major Business Central release.

Where does the Teams/Outlook delivery actually happen — does data leave Business Central?

Adaptive cards are delivered through an Azure-hosted relay we configure for your tenant. The card carries the document summary needed to decide; approval responses return through the BC REST/OData v4 API to update the Approval Entry. We scope exactly what fields appear on the card and can keep the relay within your own Azure subscription if your security policy requires it.

Can it handle parallel approvers and out-of-office cover?

Yes. Matrices support sequential and parallel chains with quorum rules (e.g., any two of three), and substitute routing automatically reassigns a pending approval to a designated delegate when an approver is marked out-of-office, with the original and the delegate both recorded in the audit trail.
