Employee Information & Org-Chart Management for Business Central

Fonctionnalités clés

Rich employee profile extending the native Employee card via AL table and page extensions — custom fields, employment history, documents and effective-dated changes, with your existing employee records preserved

Position and establishment master: define positions independently of people, track approved headcount vs. filled vs. vacant, and link employees to positions

Self-referencing reporting-line and department hierarchy with a configurable manager/direct-report structure that prevents circular references

Dynamic, drill-down org-chart visualization rendered as a Business Central page (control add-in) with expand/collapse, search and per-node profile preview

Headcount and vacancy analytics surfaced through account-schedule-style views and ready for Power BI via the REST/OData v4 API

Event-subscriber automation that updates reporting lines and headcount when employees are hired, transferred between positions, or terminated

Custom HR fields and flexible setup table so HR can capture organisation-specific data (cost centre, grade, FTE, contract type) without code changes

Dedicated permission sets (read-only viewer vs. HR administrator) aligned with Business Central's permission model and entitlements

Optional job-queue entries for scheduled headcount snapshots and hierarchy-integrity checks

REST/OData v4 API pages and Dataverse-ready entities for Power Apps, Power Automate and external reporting

Role-center cues and activity tiles for open positions, pending org-chart approvals and employees missing a reporting line

Upgrade codeunit and data-migration logic so the per-tenant extension survives BC monthly platform updates

À propos de ce produit

Native Business Central HR (the standard Human Resources module) gives you an Employee card, absence registration and basic employee statistics — but it has no concept of positions, no headcount planning, no visual org chart, and no structured reporting-line hierarchy. The moment your HR team needs more than a flat employee list, you outgrow it.

This is a build-to-order extension: ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and supports a custom AL extension on top of your existing Business Central tenant. It is not an instant Microsoft AppSource download. We deliver it as a per-tenant extension deployed to your environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem), so your data never leaves your Business Central database and there is no third-party SaaS to subscribe to.

Technically, we extend the standard Employee table and Employee card via table extensions and page extensions rather than duplicating data — your existing employees, dimensions and HR posting groups stay intact. We add a Position master, headcount/establishment tracking, and a self-referencing reporting-line structure that drives a dynamic, drill-down org-chart page. Event subscribers keep the hierarchy consistent when employees are hired, transferred or terminated. Everything is surfaced through dedicated pages, role-center cues and analytics, and is reachable over the Business Central REST/OData v4 API for Power BI, Power Apps or Dataverse integration.

You also get the engineering rigor expected of production AL: dedicated permission sets, optional job-queue entries for scheduled headcount snapshots, and an upgrade codeunit so the extension survives Business Central's monthly platform updates. ECOSIRE scopes the build with you, ships it to a sandbox for UAT, then publishes to production and supports it thereafter.

Pour qui c'est

HR Manager outgrowing native BC HR

Runs HR on the standard Business Central Human Resources module but needs positions, headcount planning and a real org chart that the native module simply does not provide.

Business Central Administrator / IT lead

Owns the BC tenant and wants new HR capability delivered as a clean, upgrade-safe per-tenant extension — not unmanaged customizations that break at the next monthly update.

People Operations / HRIS analyst

Needs reliable headcount, vacancy and reporting-line data exposed over the REST/OData API to feed Power BI dashboards and Power Apps workflows.

Foire aux questions sur Employee Information & Org-Chart Management for Business Central

How long does delivery take, since this is build-to-order?

Typical lead time is 2 to 4 weeks from scope sign-off. We start with a short requirements workshop, build the AL extension against a copy of your data, publish it to your Business Central sandbox for UAT, and only then deploy to production. Lead time depends on the depth of custom fields, hierarchy rules and integrations you need — we confirm a firm timeline before any work begins.

Is this an instant AppSource download?

No. This is a custom extension that ECOSIRE builds, installs and supports on your own Business Central environment. We deliver it as a per-tenant extension published directly to your tenant (cloud SaaS or on-prem). There is no AppSource listing to install yourself and no separate third-party SaaS — your HR data stays inside your Business Central database.

What happens with ongoing support and Business Central updates?

Business Central ships a major platform update roughly twice a year plus monthly service updates. Our extension includes an upgrade codeunit so your data and customizations carry forward. We offer an ongoing support and maintenance plan that covers compatibility testing against each BC release, bug fixes, and small enhancement requests so the extension keeps working as your tenant updates.

Will it modify or risk our existing employee data?

No. We extend the standard Employee table and card with AL table and page extensions rather than replacing them, so your current employees, dimensions and HR posting groups remain intact. All new fields are additive, and we deploy to a sandbox for validation before touching production.

Can it feed Power BI, Power Apps or Dataverse?

Yes. We expose employee, position, headcount and reporting-line data through Business Central REST/OData v4 API pages. That lets you build Power BI dashboards, drive Power Apps and Power Automate flows, or sync entities into Dataverse using Business Central's standard integration, without extracting data to an external system.
