اس مصنوع کے بارے میں
If you outsource fulfillment to one or more third-party logistics (3PL) providers, your real inventory lives in someone else's warehouse — but Business Central still has to quote, sell, reserve, ship and invoice against it. This extension closes that gap inside BC itself, not in a spreadsheet or a separate portal.
ECOSIRE builds, installs and supports this as a per-tenant AL extension on your own Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem). It is not an instant AppSource download — we scope your 3PL providers and message formats, develop against the real BC objects, and deploy to your sandbox before production.
What it does. It introduces 3PL locations and maps them into standard BC Locations so item availability, reservations and warehouse handling behave natively. Sales-order release pushes outbound fulfillment orders to the 3PL; inbound ASNs and outbound shipment confirmations flow back to post receipts and shipments and update tracking. A scheduled reconciliation job compares BC on-hand against each provider's reported balances and surfaces variances for review.
How it's built. Table and page extensions on Location, Item Ledger and the sales/purchase documents; event subscribers (e.g. on release and post) to trigger messaging; a pluggable connector interface so each 3PL provider has its own implementation behind one contract; the BC job queue for polling and reconciliation; and outbound/inbound exchange over the provider's API, the BC REST/OData surface, or file/EDI where that's all a provider offers. Dedicated permission sets scope who can configure connectors and resolve variances; optional Dataverse / Power Platform surfacing for approvals or dashboards.
The result is honest, auditable 3PL inventory — owned by your team, maintained by ours.
What you get
- A per-tenant Business Central AL extension (.app) built for your version, installed to your sandbox then production by ECOSIRE
- Connector implementation(s) for your specific 3PL provider(s), each behind the shared connector interface
- Table/page extensions, event subscribers, job-queue setup and permission sets configured on your environment
- Item/SKU and UoM cross-reference mapping configured for each connected 3PL
- Source code handover (AL project in your repo) so your team retains full ownership
- Configuration guide, message-mapping reference and an admin runbook for reconciliation and error replay
- A defined warranty/support window with bug fixes and BC version-compatibility maintenance
Who this is for
Operations / Fulfillment Manager
Owns the relationship with one or more 3PLs and needs BC to reflect what those warehouses actually hold and ship — without chasing portals or spreadsheets to confirm stock and dispatch.
Business Central Administrator / IT Lead
Wants a clean per-tenant extension with proper permission sets, job queue and an auditable message log, installed without destabilizing the production tenant or blocking BC upgrades.
Finance / Inventory Controller
Relies on accurate on-hand and cost postings; values the scheduled reconciliation and variance worklist that catch discrepancies between BC and 3PL balances before they hit the books.

Frequently Asked Questions about 3PL / Outsourced-Warehouse Manager
How long until it's live, and is this an AppSource app I just download?
No — this is build-to-order. ECOSIRE develops it as a per-tenant AL extension for your specific 3PL providers and message formats, then installs it to your sandbox for validation before production. Typical delivery is roughly one working week depending on how many 3PLs you connect and whether each exposes a modern API or only file/EDI exchange. We confirm a firm timeline after a short scoping call.
Who supports and updates it after delivery, and does it survive Business Central upgrades?
ECOSIRE supports it. The included warranty/support window covers bug fixes and keeping the extension compatible across Business Central's monthly and major releases — we test against your sandbox ahead of upgrades. Because it's a clean per-tenant extension using event subscribers and table/page extensions (no base-app modification), it upgrades like any well-behaved AL app. You also receive the source, so you're never locked in.
Can it handle more than one 3PL at the same time?
Yes. The connector is a pluggable AL interface, so each provider has its own implementation behind one contract. You can run several 3PLs concurrently, each mapped to its own BC location with independent messaging, SKU mapping and reconciliation schedule.
What if my 3PL doesn't have a real-time API?
That's common. The connector contract supports API/REST/OData where available and falls back to scheduled file or EDI exchange (e.g. CSV/XML drops or SFTP) where a provider only offers batch integration. Either way the job queue handles polling, retry and reconciliation so the integration behaves consistently.
Will it change how my team works inside Business Central day to day?
Minimally and intentionally. Sales and purchase documents stay native — 3PL locations behave like standard BC locations, and fulfillment is triggered on the actions you already use (like order release). The new surfaces are mostly for admins: connector setup, the message log, and the variance worklist, all gated behind dedicated permission sets.
