Über dieses Produkt
Business Central has no first-class employee expense module — finance teams end up stitching together spreadsheets, manual purchase invoices and email approvals. This extension closes that gap as a properly engineered AL solution that ECOSIRE builds to your policy, installs as a per-tenant extension on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem), and supports.
Employees capture receipts from a phone using the Business Central mobile/Power App front end. An OCR pipeline reads vendor, date, amount and VAT, and pre-fills an Expense Report built from custom AL tables and pages. Mileage is logged against configurable rates, per-diem against tracked travel dates. When a corporate credit-card statement is imported, the extension matches statement lines to captured receipts so finance reconciles instead of re-keys.
Under the hood we add table and page extensions, event subscribers on posting routines, and a configurable approval workflow built on the BC approvals framework. Approved reports post to vendor/employee purchase invoices and the general ledger with correct VAT/tax breakdown and dimensions. Data is exposed through the BC REST/OData API, and where you run Power Platform we wire Dataverse integration so a Power App or Power Automate flow drives capture and notifications.
Everything ships with scoped permission sets, a job queue entry for unattended card-statement import and OCR processing, and an AL test suite. Because it is per-tenant rather than an AppSource listing, the logic maps to your expense policy, GL accounts, dimensions and tax setup — not a lowest-common-denominator template. Honest delivery: this is custom build-to-order, not an instant download.

Für wen das ist
Finance Manager
Owns the reimbursement cycle and month-end close. Wants expenses to post to the correct GL accounts, dimensions and VAT codes automatically, with a clean audit trail instead of spreadsheets and manual purchase invoices.
HR / People Operations Lead
Administers the expense policy, per-diem rates and mileage rules. Needs limits and receipt requirements enforced at the point of entry so non-compliant claims never reach finance.
Business Central Administrator
Responsible for the tenant. Cares that the solution is a clean per-tenant extension using event subscribers and permission sets, stays upgrade-safe across monthly releases, and integrates with existing Power Platform and Power BI assets.

Häufig gestellte Fragen zu Expense Management for Business Central
Is this an instant AppSource download?
No. This is a build-to-order extension. ECOSIRE builds the AL solution to your expense policy, GL accounts, dimensions and tax setup, installs it as a per-tenant extension on your Business Central environment, and supports it. It is not a one-click AppSource install — that is deliberate, so the logic fits your business rather than a generic template.
How long does delivery take?
Typical delivery is around one working week from kickoff. We start with a short discovery to capture your policy, categories, rates, approval routing and tax mapping, then build and validate on a sandbox tenant, run the AL test suite with you, and finally deploy to production. Complex card-statement formats or deep Dataverse/Power Platform integration can extend this; we confirm the timeline in writing before we start.
How do you install it without breaking our environment?
It is delivered as a per-tenant extension using table/page extensions and event subscribers rather than modifying base objects, so it stays upgrade-safe across Business Central's monthly releases. We install on your sandbox first, validate posting and reconciliation against real data, then publish to production during an agreed window.
What ongoing support and updates are included?
The build includes a support and warranty period for defect fixes after go-live. Beyond that we offer optional support retainers covering BC version-update compatibility checks, new expense categories or rate changes, additional card-statement formats and enhancements. Because you receive the full AL source, your own team can also maintain or extend it.
Can employees submit expenses from their phones?
Yes. Capture runs through the Business Central mobile app or an optional Power App front end on Dataverse. Employees photograph a receipt, OCR pre-fills the expense line, and the report routes through approval. Mileage and per-diem can be entered on the same mobile flow.
Does it handle VAT and multi-currency correctly?
Yes. Each expense line carries a full VAT/tax breakdown using your BC VAT posting setup, including reverse-charge and non-deductible scenarios, and posts with the right tax codes. Foreign-currency receipts use Business Central's exchange-rate setup so postings land in your local currency with the original amount preserved.
