Sobre este producto
What this is
The Employee Self-Service (ESS) Portal for Business Central is a build-to-order app that gives every employee a clean mobile and web front end to the HR data already living in your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central tenant. Staff download payslips and tax documents, request leave and see their balances, file expense and reimbursement claims, ask for salary certificates or NOC letters, and submit personal-detail changes for approval — without ever logging into Business Central or emailing HR.
This is not an instant AppSource download. ECOSIRE builds the solution to your environment, installs it as a per-tenant AL extension, and supports it on your tenant. The extension adds table extensions and page extensions over the standard Employee, Employee Absences and Comment Line tables, exposes a secured API page surface over the Business Central REST/OData v4 API, and ships custom permission sets so employees see only their own records.
How it works technically
The employee app authenticates against Microsoft Entra ID (the same identity already securing Business Central) and reads/writes through dedicated API pages published by the extension. Event subscribers on document-approval and HR posting events keep balances and statuses live. Long-running jobs (payslip PDF generation, bulk certificate issuance) run on the Business Central job queue so the UI stays responsive. Where you use the Power Platform, we can surface the same data through Dataverse and a Power Apps canvas/Power Pages front end instead of a standalone portal — your choice at scoping.
Honest delivery
After purchase, ECOSIRE runs a short scoping call, confirms your payroll/HR data model and approval rules, then builds, tests in your sandbox, and deploys to production as a per-tenant extension. You own the deployed extension on your tenant. A typical first build lands in roughly one working week depending on payroll complexity and how many document types you need.

- Table extensions and page extensions over Employee, Employee Absence, Comment Line and related HR tables
- Secured API pages exposing the self-service surface over the BC REST/OData v4 endpoint
- Custom permission sets and a self-service security role configured for record-level employee isolation

- Job queue entries and event-subscriber codeunits for payslip generation, document issuance and balance synchronization
- Sandbox deployment, UAT support, production cutover, and an admin handover guide covering permission assignment and document templates
¿Para quién es esto?
HR Manager
Wants to cut the daily flood of payslip, leave-balance and certificate requests so the HR team can focus on people work instead of document admin, while keeping approvals and audit trails inside Business Central.
Business Central Administrator
Needs employee self-service delivered as a clean per-tenant extension that respects permission sets, Entra ID identity and upgrade safety — not a fragile bolt-on or direct table hacks that break on the next BC update.
Finance / Payroll Lead
Wants employees to self-serve payslips and file reimbursement claims through proper approval workflow, with claims and certificates traceable against the same HR and finance data already in Business Central.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre Employee Self-Service (ESS) Portal for Business Central
How long does delivery take, and is this an AppSource download?
This is build-to-order, not an instant AppSource install. After purchase we run a scoping call to confirm your HR/payroll data model, approval rules and the document types you need, then build and test in your sandbox before deploying to production as a per-tenant AL extension. A typical first build lands in roughly one working week depending on payroll complexity and the number of document and claim types in scope.
How is ongoing support and updates handled after go-live?
ECOSIRE supports the deployed extension on your tenant. Because it is delivered as a per-tenant extension built with table/page extensions and event subscribers (no direct base-table modification), it survives Business Central's monthly and major updates safely. We offer support for bug fixes, BC version-compatibility checks ahead of major releases, and enhancement requests; the scope and term are agreed at handover. You own the deployed extension on your tenant.
Do employees need a Business Central license to use the portal?
No. Employees interact only with the self-service portal (or the Power Apps / Power Pages app), which talks to Business Central through secured API pages over the REST/OData v4 endpoint under a controlled identity. They authenticate with Microsoft Entra ID but do not consume full Business Central user licenses for self-service. We confirm the exact licensing fit for your tenant during scoping.
Will this work with our existing payroll setup in Business Central?
The portal reads and writes against your existing Employee, Employee Absence and related HR tables, and we map payslip and tax-document generation to your current payroll configuration during scoping. If you run a third-party payroll extension, we adapt the API surface and event subscribers to integrate with it rather than replacing it.
Can we surface this through the Power Platform instead of a separate portal?
Yes. For customers invested in the Power Platform, we can expose the same self-service data through Dataverse and build the front end as a Power Apps canvas app or a Power Pages site, instead of a standalone web portal. The Business Central extension, API pages, permission sets and approval logic are the same underneath — only the presentation layer differs. You choose the front end during scoping.
