Über dieses Produkt
Standard Dynamics 365 Business Central was built around products, projects and jobs — not around matters, timekeepers, trust ledgers and the three-way reconciliation a law firm's bar association expects. Legal Practice & Matter Billing closes that gap as a per-tenant AL extension installed directly on your Business Central environment.
We model the matter as a first-class record linked to the client master (a customer card extension), with responsible attorney, practice area, fee arrangement and budget. Timekeepers capture time against matters with their own billing rates and rate overrides; entries flow into Work-in-Progress that your billing manager reviews on a pre-bill page before anything reaches an invoice. Trust / IOLTA accounting is kept on a separate ledger with its own G/L accounts and posting groups, so client funds never commingle with operating cash — and a three-way reconciliation view ties the trust ledger, the client trust balance and the bank balance together. Retainers and disbursements are tracked per matter, with replenishment alerts when a retainer drops below threshold.
Because this is built specifically for your tenant, we use real Business Central building blocks: table and page extensions, event subscribers on posting routines, permission sets for timekeeper vs. trust-admin roles, a Job Queue entry for nightly WIP and retainer alerts, and OData/REST API pages if you need time entry from an external app or Power Platform.
This is not an instant AppSource download. ECOSIRE scopes the build with you, develops it in AL, installs it as a per-tenant extension on your sandbox first, then production — and supports it afterward. Honest, scoped, and yours.

Für wen das ist
Law firm practice / finance manager
Owns billing and the monthly pre-bill cycle. Needs WIP visibility, write-down control and clean matter-based invoices without exporting to spreadsheets.
Trust / compliance administrator
Responsible for IOLTA compliance and the three-way reconciliation the bar association requires. Needs client funds segregated from operating cash and an auditable trust ledger.
Business Central administrator / IT lead
Maintains the tenant and worries about upgrade safety. Prefers a per-tenant AL extension with event subscribers over base-app modifications, plus proper permission sets.

Häufig gestellte Fragen zu Legal Practice & Matter Billing for Business Central
How long until it is live on our Business Central environment?
This is built to order, not an instant download. After a short scoping call we confirm requirements, then typically deliver a working build to your sandbox within a few weeks depending on complexity (trust rules, fee arrangements and integrations drive the timeline). You review it in the sandbox, we refine, then we install the per-tenant extension to production. We give you an honest date during scoping rather than a generic promise.
Who handles ongoing support and Business Central updates?
ECOSIRE supports the extension after go-live. Because it is a per-tenant AL extension built on event subscribers and table/page extensions rather than base-app changes, it survives Microsoft's monthly and major Business Central updates in most cases. We monitor for breaking platform changes, retest against new BC releases on your sandbox, and ship fixes or enhancements under a support arrangement agreed at handover.
Will this install from Microsoft AppSource?
No. We do not publish this as a public AppSource app and there is no instant marketplace install. It is developed in AL and deployed as a per-tenant extension directly onto your tenant by ECOSIRE — sandbox first, then production — so it can be tailored to your firm's chart of accounts, trust rules and fee structures.
How is trust / IOLTA money kept separate from our operating funds?
Trust activity posts to a segregated ledger with its own dedicated G/L accounts, bank account and posting groups, distinct from operating cash. Client funds are tracked per matter and per client, and a three-way reconciliation view ties the trust ledger, the aggregate client trust balances and the trust bank balance together so you can demonstrate compliance during an audit.
Can timekeepers enter time from outside the Business Central web client?
Yes, where it is in scope. We can expose matter and time-entry as OData/REST API pages so a mobile app, a Power Platform (Power Apps) front end or another system can post time into Business Central. The same WIP, rate-resolution and pre-bill rules apply regardless of where the entry originates.
Does it modify the Business Central base application?
No. It is delivered as an AL extension using table extensions, page extensions and event subscribers on standard posting routines. We avoid base-app modifications, which keeps your tenant upgrade-safe and lets the extension be installed, updated or removed cleanly as a per-tenant package.
