Grant Management for Business Central is a build-to-order AL extension that turns Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central into a fit-for-purpose grant accounting system for NGOs, research organisations and foundations — without forcing you onto a separate, disconnected grants platform.
ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and supports the extension on your Business Central environment. It is delivered as a per-tenant extension (not a one-click AppSource download): we develop it in AL against your tenant, publish and install it through the BC Extension Management page or via the Admin Center for on-premises/hybrid setups, and configure it to your chart of accounts, dimensions and funders.
Technically, the app introduces dedicated tables for Grant Award, Grant Budget Line, Indirect Cost Rate and Milestone, plus table and page extensions on the G/L Entry, Purchase, and Job/Project documents so every transaction can be tagged to a grant via a custom dimension or grant code. Event subscribers enforce funder restrictions at posting time — blocking or warning when a cost falls outside an approved budget category, period or restriction. Indirect cost (overhead) is calculated automatically against configurable rate bases. Grant balances, burn rates and milestone status surface on a role-centre page and are exposed through the BC REST/OData API for Power BI dashboards and funder portals. Optional Dataverse / Power Platform integration lets you drive approvals and notifications through Power Automate and a job queue handles scheduled rate runs and reporting refreshes.
Pricing is a one-time USD 499 build fee. You receive the source AL, dedicated permission sets and documentation, and ongoing support from the team that built it. This is honest, scoped custom work — we agree the spec, give you a delivery date, and stand behind it.
Owns funder compliance and reporting. Needs every expense tagged to the right grant, budget category and period, with restrictions enforced before money is posted — not discovered at audit time.
Manages multi-year awards with indirect cost recovery and milestone-driven tranches. Needs accurate overhead calculation and deliverable tracking tied directly to the institution's Business Central ledger.
Wants grant accounting inside the existing BC system rather than a siloed tool, with clean dimensions, auditable postings and Power BI visibility across all funders and balances.

No. This is a build-to-order, per-tenant extension. ECOSIRE develops it in AL specifically for your Business Central tenant, then publishes and installs it directly to your environment (via Extension Management for cloud SaaS, or the Admin Center for on-prem/hybrid). There is no instant AppSource listing — you get a scoped, configured solution and the source code, not a generic shelf product.
Typical lead time is about 2 to 4 weeks from the point we confirm the scope. We start with a short discovery to lock the grant structure, funders, indirect cost rules and reporting needs, then build, test against a sandbox copy of your tenant, and install to production with you. Complex multi-funder or Dataverse-integrated builds can run longer; we commit to a firm date before work begins.
The one-time fee includes a post-go-live support window for fixes and configuration adjustments. Because we deliver the full AL source and a version-controlled project, the extension is upgrade-safe across Business Central's twice-yearly releases, and ECOSIRE can handle recompiles and revalidation against new BC versions under an ongoing support arrangement. You are never locked to us — you own the code.
No. The extension uses table extensions, page extensions and event subscribers — the standard, upgrade-safe AL extension model. We do not edit base-app objects, so Microsoft's platform and application updates continue to install cleanly. Grant fields and logic ride alongside native BC objects rather than replacing them.
Indirect cost rates are configurable per grant against a chosen base (for example modified total direct cost), and recovery can be calculated and posted automatically via the job queue. Funder restrictions — allowed categories, periods and caps — are enforced by AL event subscribers at posting time, so a non-compliant cost is blocked or flagged before it hits the ledger rather than caught later in reconciliation.
