اس مصنوع کے بارے میں
Manufacturing Job Costing & WIP Manager is a per-tenant Dynamics 365 Business Central extension that ECOSIRE designs, builds, and installs on your environment — it is not an instant AppSource download. Microsoft's standard Manufacturing module captures consumption and output journals and finished-good unit cost, but controllers still wait for period close to see whether a job is bleeding margin. This extension closes that gap with live data.
Built in the AL language as table and page extensions over Production Order, Prod. Order Line, and the Item Ledger / Value Entry tables, it layers an estimated cost baseline (from the routing, BOM, and work/machine center rates) against actuals posted through consumption, output, and capacity journals. Event subscribers on posting codeunits recalculate Work-in-Process the moment a journal posts — no batch job, no waiting for the cost adjustment routine. A FactBox on the production order surfaces material, labor, machine, and overhead in four lines, plus running WIP value and projected margin.
Cost-overrun variance alerts run through a Job Queue entry and notify via the Business Central Notification framework and email; thresholds are configurable per item category or work center. Margin and profitability roll up per job and per customer through dedicated query objects, ready for Power BI over the BC OData/REST API or a Dataverse virtual table.
ECOSIRE scopes the build to your chart of accounts, costing method (FIFO/Standard/Average), and dimension setup, ships a dedicated permission set, installs it as a per-tenant extension on your sandbox first, validates against your real orders, then promotes to production. Source code and the .app file are handed to you.
What you get
- Per-tenant Business Central AL extension (.app) installed first on your sandbox, then promoted to production after validation
- Table and page extensions over Production Order, Prod. Order Line, Item Ledger Entry and Value Entry implementing the costing and WIP model
- Event-subscriber codeunits and a Job Queue setup for real-time WIP and variance alerting
- Dedicated permission set and role-center FactBox/cue configuration for controllers and CFO
- Power BI report template connected via the BC OData/REST API (and optional Dataverse virtual-table mapping)
- Full commented AL source code, the signed .app file, a configuration guide, and a recorded handover/training session
Who this is for
Manufacturing Controller
Owns standard costs, variances, and inventory valuation. Gets live estimated-vs-actual per order and drill-down to Value Entry and Capacity Ledger detail, instead of waiting for cost adjustment at period close.
CFO / Finance Director
Needs trustworthy WIP on the balance sheet and margin by job and customer. Gets real-time WIP valuation and profitability rollups in Power BI, costing-method aware and dimension-accurate.
Production / Plant Manager
Runs the shop floor and is accountable for overruns. Receives threshold-based variance notifications on material, labor, machine, and overhead while a job is still open — early enough to act.

Frequently Asked Questions about Manufacturing Job Costing & WIP Manager
Is this an AppSource app I can install instantly?
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.
What is the delivery lead time?
Typical delivery is about one working week 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.
How do ongoing support and updates work after install?
The $999 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.
Will it interfere with Microsoft's standard costing and posting?
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.
Can the cost and margin data flow into Power BI or the Power Platform?
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.
