À propos de ce produit
Dropship and vendor-fulfilled SKUs break the clean three-way match that Business Central is built around: stock never touches your warehouse, yet customers still expect accurate tracking and you still need margin visibility per line. Business Central's native Drop Shipment flow (sales-line Purchasing Code, Requisition Worksheet → Drop Shipment function, the linked sales/purchase order pair) gives you the accounting backbone but stops well short of automation: no vendor routing rules, no ASN ingestion, no customer email on ship, no split-shipment intelligence.
This is a build-to-order extension, not an instant AppSource download. ECOSIRE designs, writes and ships it as a per-tenant extension installed directly on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem), tailored to your vendor mix, item routing and notification copy.
What we build in AL: - Table & page extensions on Sales Order, Purchase Order and Item to carry routing rules, preferred/backup vendor, ASN status and per-line margin fields. - Event subscribers (e.g. on Sales Order release and shipment posting) that auto-run the drop-shipment link and create the vendor PO — no manual Requisition Worksheet step. - A codeunit for vendor routing and split-shipment logic (cheapest/fastest/in-stock vendor, multi-vendor order splitting). - API/OData v4 endpoints plus optional job queue polling to ingest vendor ASN and tracking (EDI 856, vendor portal, CSV or REST), writing it back to the order. - Customer shipment notification automation via Business Central email (SMTP/Microsoft 365) with carrier and tracking link. - Dedicated permission sets and a setup page so your admins own configuration after handover.
We install on a sandbox first, validate against real vendor data, then promote to production. Source code and documentation are handed over — you are never locked in.

Pour qui c'est
Operations / Fulfillment Manager
Owns the order-to-ship flow for vendor-fulfilled SKUs and is tired of manually running the Requisition Worksheet and chasing vendors for tracking. Wants POs and notifications to fire automatically so the team handles exceptions, not data entry.
Purchasing / Procurement Lead
Manages multiple dropship vendors with different lead times and prices. Needs routing rules to send each line to the right supplier and split orders cleanly across vendors without re-keying purchase orders.
Finance / Controller
Needs accurate per-line margin and landed cost on dropship sales where stock never hits the warehouse, and wants the native drop-shipment accounting preserved so the three-way match and posting stay clean.

Foire aux questions sur Dropship & Vendor-Fulfillment Automation
Is this an instant download from Microsoft AppSource?
No. This is a build-to-order solution. ECOSIRE writes the extension in AL and installs it as a per-tenant extension directly on your Business Central environment. There is no public AppSource listing to download — we tailor the routing rules, ASN sources and notification copy to your business, install on your sandbox first, validate, then promote to production.
How long does delivery take?
A typical build is one working week from kickoff, depending on how many vendors, ASN sources (EDI 856, portal, CSV or REST) and routing rules are in scope. After a short discovery call we confirm scope and give you a firm timeline. You get a sandbox install for sign-off before anything reaches production.
What happens to support and updates after go-live?
The one-time build price includes a post-deployment support window for bug fixes. Beyond that we offer an optional maintenance/SLA agreement covering Business Central version-update compatibility (Microsoft ships major waves twice a year), enhancement requests and new vendor onboarding. Because you receive the source code, you can also maintain it with your own AL developer.
Does it work on Business Central cloud (SaaS) and on-premises?
Yes. The extension is built to AppSource-grade per-tenant standards and runs on Business Central online (SaaS) and supported on-premises versions. ASN/tracking ingestion uses the standard OData v4 / REST API and job queue, which are available in both deployment models.
Will it break Business Central's native drop-shipment accounting?
No. We build on top of the native Drop Shipment mechanism — the Purchasing Code, the linked sales/purchase order pair and standard posting — rather than replacing it. The automation removes the manual steps and adds routing, ASN capture and notifications while the underlying ledger entries and three-way match stay exactly as Microsoft intends.
Can it connect to our vendors' EDI or portals for tracking?
Yes, within scope. We can ingest ASN and tracking from EDI 856, a vendor REST/OData feed, a portal export or CSV drops, mapped into the order during discovery. Each vendor source is configured on the setup page; adding new vendors later is a routine maintenance task.
