Sobre este producto

Tip Pooling & Service Charge Manager solves a problem Business Central does not handle natively: turning raw tip and service-charge totals into a fair, auditable, per-person payout that ties back to the GL and to payroll.

ECOSIRE builds this as a per-tenant AL extension installed directly on your Business Central environment — no instant AppSource download, no generic one-size-fits-all logic. We scope your tip rules, build the extension, deploy it to your tenant, and support it.

How it works. Tips and service charges flow in from your POS and card terminals via the Business Central REST/OData v4 API (or an integration to your POS connector). A configurable Tip Pool engine — implemented in dedicated AL tables with setup pages — applies your pooling and share rules: equal split, hours-weighted, points/role-weighted, or a hybrid you define. Allocations run per shift and per role, so back-of-house and front-of-house can pool separately or share by percentage.

Clean accounting. Service charges post to the correct GL accounts via event subscribers on posting routines, keeping tip liability, employer-retained service charge and staff distribution properly separated for compliance.

Payout to payroll. Calculated allocations export as a payroll-ready file or feed your payroll system through the API. A Job Queue entry can run the calculation automatically at shift close.

Everything is permission-set controlled, audit-logged and reportable inside Business Central, with optional Power BI / Dataverse surfacing for managers. You own the extension and the data; ECOSIRE handles the build, install and ongoing changes as your rules evolve.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre Tip Pooling & Service Charge Manager

Is this an instant AppSource download?

No. This is a build-to-order extension. ECOSIRE scopes your tip and service-charge rules, builds the AL extension, and installs it as a per-tenant extension directly on your Business Central environment. It is not a one-click AppSource purchase — you get logic tailored to how your venue actually pools tips.

How long does delivery take?

Typical lead time is about 2 to 4 weeks from the time we finalize your pooling rules, POS feed details and payroll export format. Simpler single-venue setups land faster; multi-venue or complex weighted/hybrid rules with custom GL mapping take longer. We confirm a firm timeline after the scoping call.

How do tips actually get into Business Central?

Tips and service charges are pushed in through the Business Central REST/OData v4 API, either from a direct POS/card-terminal integration we build or through your existing POS connector. A Job Queue entry can then run the pooling calculation automatically at shift close, or staff can trigger it manually.

What about ongoing support and updates?

ECOSIRE supports the extension after delivery. Because it is a per-tenant extension we own the source for, we can adjust pooling rules, share weights, GL mappings and payroll formats as your operation changes, and we keep it compatible across Business Central monthly and major release updates under a support arrangement.

Will it post correctly to our GL and payroll?

Yes. Service charges and tip distribution post via AL event subscribers to the GL accounts you and your finance team confirm during scoping, keeping employer-retained and staff-distributable amounts separated. Payouts export in the exact format your payroll system expects, mapped to each employee record.
