Manufacturing Job Costing & WIP Manager

No. It is a build-to-order extension. ECOSIRE designs and builds it in AL for your specific costing method, chart of accounts, and dimension setup, then installs it as a per-tenant extension on your environment. There is no instant AppSource download — you get a solution fitted to your data and the full source code.

Typical delivery is about 3 to 5 weeks from the kickoff and access to your sandbox. We first install and validate against your real production orders in the sandbox, confirm the WIP and variance figures reconcile to your ledger, and only then promote to production. Lead time varies with the complexity of your routings, overhead model, and dimension requirements; we confirm a firm date during scoping.

The $499 price covers the build, sandbox-to-production installation, and handover. ECOSIRE supports the extension on your tenant — including compatibility checks against Business Central's monthly and major (semi-annual) update waves, since per-tenant extensions must stay aligned with platform changes. Ongoing support and enhancement requests are handled under a support agreement; because you also receive the AL source and .app file, you are never locked in.

No. The extension reads from and subscribes to standard posting events but never modifies Microsoft's posting codeunits. All WIP and variance calculations run in non-blocking event subscribers and a scheduled reconciliation job. Your standard consumption, output, capacity, and cost adjustment routines continue to work exactly as before — this layer is additive and reconciles to your existing Value Entries.

Yes. The extension exposes AL query objects through the Business Central OData v4 / REST API, and we deliver a Power BI report template connected to them. If you standardize on the Power Platform, we can also map the cost and WIP data to a Dataverse virtual table so it is available to Power Apps and Power Automate.
