Sobre este producto
Business Central ships with a capable but manual planning engine. Native MRP/MPS runs item-by-item through Stockkeeping Unit cards, the calculation worksheets give you exception messages but no clear demand-driven view, and adjusting reorder points, safety stock or lead times across a large catalog means editing one SKU at a time. For a planner running thousands of items, that is hours of click-through work before every planning run.
The Advanced MRP & Planning Pack is a per-tenant AL extension that ECOSIRE builds, installs and supports directly on your Business Central environment. It layers a demand-driven forecasting worksheet, a bulk SKU parameter editor, supply-vs-demand pegging, and a pre-commit policy simulator on top of the standard planning engine — without replacing or forking Microsoft's core MRP logic.
Because this is build-to-order rather than a one-click AppSource install, we scope the extension to your real item categories, locations, replenishment policies and planning calendars first. We deliver it as a signed per-tenant extension (table and page extensions, event subscribers, and an OData/REST surface for Power BI and the Power Platform), wire the heavy calculations to the job queue, and ship the permission sets your planners and admins actually need.
This is honest about what it is: a custom-fit engineering engagement, not a shelf product. There is a real lead time, a real install on your sandbox first, and a real support relationship afterward. You get planning that fits how your plant runs — forecasts grounded in historical usage and seasonality, parameter changes applied to whole SKU groups in one action, and a projected-inventory timeline that shows exactly where supply meets demand before you ever click Carry Out Action Messages.
lo que obtienes
- A signed, versioned per-tenant Business Central extension (.app) installed to your sandbox then your production environment
- AL source: table extensions, page extensions, codeunits, event subscribers and the OData/REST API pages, handed over to your repo
- Scoping document mapping the build to your item categories, locations, replenishment policies and planning calendars
- Permission sets (Planner / Planning Admin / Viewer) and job-queue setup configured in your environment
- Sandbox UAT cycle with your planners, plus a punch-list pass before production cutover
- Admin + planner runbook (how to run forecasts, bulk edits, simulations) and a recorded walkthrough; defined post-launch support window
¿Para quién es esto?
Supply Chain / Production Planner
Runs daily and weekly planning for a mid-market discrete manufacturer on Business Central. Tired of editing reorder points one SKU at a time and squinting at raw exception messages. Wants demand-driven forecasts and bulk parameter edits so a full replan takes minutes, not an afternoon.
Operations / Plant Manager
Owns service levels and inventory cost. Needs a projected-inventory timeline and supply-demand pegging to see stock-out and over-stock risk before orders are committed, and trusts a simulation step before any policy change goes live.
Business Central Administrator / IT Lead
Responsible for the tenant's extensions, permissions and integrations. Prefers a clean per-tenant extension that subscribes to events rather than modifying base app, with proper permission sets, job-queue jobs and an OData surface for Power BI — and a named partner to support it.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre Advanced MRP & Planning Pack
How is this delivered — is it an instant AppSource download?
No. This is a build-to-order engagement. ECOSIRE builds the extension to fit your item categories, locations and replenishment policies, then installs it as a signed per-tenant extension on your Business Central sandbox first and your production environment after UAT. It is not a self-service AppSource listing.
What is the typical lead time?
A standard build runs roughly one working week from the kickoff scoping call: about a week to confirm scope against your real data, one working week to build and unit-test the AL extension, then a sandbox UAT cycle before production cutover. Heavily customized planning logic or multi-company rollouts add time, which we confirm in writing during scoping.
How do ongoing support and updates work after launch?
You get a defined post-launch support window for bug fixes and adjustments, plus an ongoing support option. Because it is a per-tenant extension, ECOSIRE tests it against each Business Central major update (the spring/autumn waves) and ships a compatible version so the planning pack keeps working through Microsoft's upgrade cycle. You hold the AL source either way.
Does it replace or modify Business Central's native MRP engine?
No. It layers on top. The pack writes forecasts into the standard Demand Forecast, triggers the native Calculate Regenerative Plan, and reads the resulting requisition/planning lines. It uses table and page extensions plus event subscribers — it never forks or overwrites Microsoft's base planning codeunits, so your core engine stays supported and upgrade-safe.
Will it work with Power BI and the Power Platform?
Yes. We expose forecasts, exception messages and projected-inventory data through OData V4 / REST API pages you can point Power BI at directly, and we can surface planning KPIs as Dataverse virtual tables for Power Automate and Power Apps. The scope of which entities are exposed is agreed during the build.
Does it support multiple locations, variants and companies?
Yes. The forecasting, bulk editing, pegging and projected-inventory views all respect Stockkeeping Units by item, location and variant, matching how BC models stock. Multi-company rollouts are supported and scoped per environment so permission sets and job-queue jobs are configured correctly in each.
