Bu Ürün Hakkında
Business Central core scheduling is infinite-capacity by design: standard MRP and the production order routing engine plan each work center as if it had unlimited throughput, then leave you to resolve overloads by hand on a manual Gantt. For a single-line shop that is survivable. For a constraint-heavy manufacturer juggling shared machines, a finite pool of skilled operators, expensive fixtures and tooling, and material that lands late, an infinite-capacity plan is fiction the moment it prints.
Advanced Finite Capacity Scheduling (APS) replaces that fiction with an executable schedule. It is a finite-capacity engine, delivered as a per-tenant AL extension installed directly on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem), that sequences every production order operation against four constraints at once — machine capacity, qualified labor, tooling/fixtures, and confirmed material availability — instead of pretending only the work center matters.
The engine performs constraint-based forward and backward scheduling, automatically selects alternative work centers and routings when the primary resource is the bottleneck, and refuses to start an operation before its components are actually available. Every run is a simulation: you generate scenarios, compare them on KPIs (on-time delivery, makespan, machine utilization, setup time), and only then commit the chosen schedule back to your real production orders.
This is build-to-order. ECOSIRE scopes your routings, constraint model and shift calendars, builds the extension in AL, installs it per-tenant, and supports it on your environment. It is not an instant AppSource download — it is tailored to how your plant actually runs. Pricing is a one-time build fee; ongoing support and version-compatibility updates are offered separately.
Ne elde edeceksin
- A per-tenant AL extension (.app) built for your Business Central version, installed on your sandbox first, then promoted to production after sign-off
- Constraint model configuration tailored to your plant — machine centers, labor pools and qualifications, tooling/fixture catalog, and material-gating rules mapped from your existing routings
- A dedicated permission set (and Entra ID / security-group guidance) scoping who can plan, simulate and commit schedules
- AL API pages (REST/OData v4) plus a sample Power BI scheduling dashboard wired to the on-time-delivery and utilization KPIs
- Job Queue entry configured for automated overnight re-planning, with documented schedule and recovery behavior
- Source code handover in a Git repository, an AL technical design note, and an operations runbook for planners
- Installation, sandbox-to-production deployment, and a live training session for your planning and operations team
- Optional ongoing support and version-compatibility plan covering BC major/minor upgrades
Bu kimin için
Operations / Production Director
Owns on-time delivery and plant throughput at a complex, constraint-heavy manufacturer. Lives with the gap between the MRP plan and what the floor can actually run, and needs a schedule that respects machines, people, tooling and material at the same time — not another manual Gantt to babysit.
Production Planner / Scheduler
Builds and re-builds the daily schedule and absorbs every late material delivery, broken fixture and absent operator by hand. Wants to simulate options, see the KPI impact, and commit a valid schedule in minutes instead of rebuilding spreadsheets every morning.
ERP / IT Manager
Responsible for keeping Business Central clean and upgradeable. Wants finite scheduling delivered as a proper AL extension with its own permission set and API surface — not a brittle customization or a black-box bolt-on that breaks on Microsoft's next release wave.

Advanced Finite Capacity Scheduling hakkında Sıkça Sorulan Sorular
How long does delivery take, since this is built to order?
Typical delivery is one working week depending on the complexity of your routings and constraint model. After a scoping workshop we confirm the exact timeline in writing. The flow is: scope your machine/labor/tooling/material constraints, build the AL extension, install it on your sandbox for validation against real production orders, then promote to production after your sign-off. You are never surprised by the date — it is agreed before the build starts.
Is this an AppSource app I can just download and install myself?
No. It is a build-to-order, per-tenant AL extension. ECOSIRE scopes it to your plant, builds it, and installs it directly on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem). There is no instant AppSource download, because a finite-capacity engine is only useful when it is modeled around how your specific machines, labor pools, tooling and materials actually behave. You receive the source code and full handover, not a black box.
What happens when Microsoft ships a new Business Central release wave?
The extension is built on standard BC objects using table/page extensions and event subscribers rather than fragile per-tenant hacks, so it is designed to survive Microsoft's monthly updates and the twice-yearly release waves. Under an optional ongoing support and version-compatibility plan, ECOSIRE recompiles and regression-tests the extension against new major/minor versions before they reach your production tenant, plus handles bug fixes and small enhancements. Without a plan, you still own the source and can maintain it yourself or commission updates as needed.
How does APS interact with our existing production orders and MRP?
It complements them rather than replacing them. Standard Business Central MRP still calculates what to make and when material is needed (infinite-capacity). APS then takes those production orders and produces a finite, executable sequence. When you commit a scenario, it writes the chosen dates back onto the standard production order routing lines — there is no parallel data silo. Your operations, costing and inventory continue to work off native BC tables.
Can the schedule feed our shop-floor screens, Power BI, or an MES?
Yes. The extension exposes schedules, scenarios and KPIs through AL API pages over REST/OData v4. We deliver a sample Power BI dashboard wired to the on-time-delivery and utilization KPIs, and the same endpoints can feed shop-floor terminals, an MES, or IoT/machine-status feeds. Overnight re-planning runs via the BC Job Queue, and the API can also be driven from Power Platform / Dataverse if you want approval flows or low-code extensions around it.

Advanced Finite Capacity Scheduling
A true finite-capacity APS engine for Dynamics 365 Business Central that builds optimized, executable schedules respecting machines, labor, tooling and material availability simultaneously. Built, installed and supported by ECOSIRE as a per-tenant AL extension.
- Simultaneous finite scheduling across four constraint classes — machine capacity, qualified labor pools, tooling/fixtures and confirmed material — so the schedule it produces is actually runnable, not an infinite-capacity ideal
- Constraint-based forward scheduling (start now, find the earliest finish) and backward scheduling (hit a due date, find the latest safe start) selectable per order or per planning run
- Automatic alternative work-center and alternative-routing selection when the primary resource is overloaded or down, using your AL-modeled capability and qualification rules
- Material-availability-aware sequencing: operations are blocked from starting until their consumed components are confirmed in inventory or by a firm receipt, eliminating phantom 'on paper' starts
