delivered as a per-tenant AL extension
ECOSIRE builds, installs and supports on your Business Central environment.
اہم خصوصیات
Job / WBS cost structure: Job Task hierarchy extended with budget, original-budget and revised-budget fields plus dimension-aware cost rollups, delivered via table and page extensions on Job, Job Task and Job Planning Line
AIA-style progress billing: G702/G703-format applications for payment with schedule-of-values, percent-complete, previous-billed and stored-materials columns generated as native BC report objects
Retainage handling: configurable retention percentage withheld per application, accrued to a dedicated G/L account, with retainage-release invoicing when a phase or the job closes
Subcontractor commitments: purchase commitments tracked against job tasks so committed cost reduces remaining budget the moment a subcontract is issued, not when invoiced
Change-order register: numbered change orders that adjust contract value and budget with full audit trail and approval status, surfaced on the job card
Committed vs actual vs budget view: a single FactBox/list page showing budget, committed, actual cost and cost-to-complete per WBS line
Cost-to-complete and WIP reporting: over/under-billing and earned-revenue calculations delivered as BC reports plus OData/API queries for Power BI dashboards
Subcontractor certificate & compliance tracking: insurance certificates, lien waivers and certified-payroll flags with expiry reminders driven by a job-queue task
Dimension and chart-of-accounts native: built to your existing dimensions, posting groups and number series — no parallel ledger, everything posts through standard BC G/L
Permission-set aware: ships with dedicated AL permission sets so PMs, AP and controllers see only what their role allows, layered on your existing security
Power Platform ready: API pages exposed for the BC REST/OData v4 endpoint so Power BI, Power Automate and Dataverse can read job financials without custom glue
Update-safe architecture: integrates via event subscribers and extension objects, never base-app code edits, so it survives Business Central monthly updates

اس مصنوع کے بارے میں
Business Central ships with a capable Projects (Jobs) module, but it was designed for professional-services time-and-material work, not construction. Contractors quickly hit the gaps: no WBS-level budget rollups, no AIA-style progress billing with retainage, no committed-cost tracking against subcontractor commitments, and no native WIP/cost-to-complete reporting. Teams end up running the real job financials in spreadsheets alongside BC.
Construction Project Accounting for Business Central closes those gaps. It is a per-tenant AL extension that ECOSIRE builds to your chart of accounts, dimensions and workflow, then installs and supports directly on your Business Central tenant. We extend the standard Job, Job Task and Job Planning Line tables with budget, committed-cost and change-order fields (table and page extensions), wire AIA G702/G703-style progress billing and retainage onto the sales invoicing flow, and add subcontractor commitment, certificate and lien-waiver tracking. Cost-to-complete and WIP reports are delivered as native BC report objects and Power BI-ready OData/API queries.
Because it is a per-tenant extension (not an AppSource listing), the code lives in your environment, respects your existing permission sets and dimensions, and uses event subscribers rather than risky base-app modifications — so it survives Microsoft's monthly platform updates. ECOSIRE handles AL development, deployment, user-acceptance, training and ongoing maintenance.
This is a build-to-order engagement. After purchase we run a short scoping call, confirm your job structure and billing format, then build and deploy. Typical delivery is a few weeks, not an instant download — and you get a real engineer, not a forum thread, behind it.
What you get
- A per-tenant Business Central AL extension (.app) built to your job structure, dimensions and chart of accounts, deployed to your sandbox then production tenant
- Configured AIA-style progress-billing and retainage setup matched to your contract and billing formats
- Subcontractor commitment, change-order and certificate-tracking configuration with your approval workflow
- Cost-to-complete / WIP report objects plus an OData/API query set ready for Power BI
- Role-based AL permission sets for project managers, AP and controllers
- Deployment of the AL source, plus a signed handover package (object IDs, dependency notes, configuration guide)
- User-acceptance testing on your sandbox and a live training session for finance and PM teams
- Post-go-live support and a maintenance window covering Business Central monthly-update compatibility
Who this is for
Construction Controller
Owns the monthly close and WIP schedule. Needs accurate committed cost, earned revenue and over/under-billing straight from BC instead of reconciling spreadsheets every period.
Project Manager / Project Accountant
Tracks budget vs committed vs actual per WBS line and raises change orders. Wants cost-to-complete visibility before a job goes upside down, inside the same job card.
Billing & AR Specialist
Produces AIA-format applications for payment with retainage every month. Needs schedule-of-values, percent-complete and stored-materials columns generated correctly the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions about Construction Project Accounting for Business Central
How long does delivery take and how is it installed?
This is a build-to-order extension, not an instant AppSource download. After purchase we hold a short scoping call to confirm your job/WBS structure, dimensions and billing format. Typical delivery is a few weeks depending on scope. We build the AL extension, deploy it first to your Business Central sandbox for user-acceptance testing, then install it as a per-tenant extension on your production tenant. ECOSIRE performs the deployment — you do not need an AL developer in-house.
What about ongoing support and Business Central monthly updates?
The extension is built with event subscribers and table/page extensions rather than base-app modifications, so it is update-safe by design and survives Microsoft's monthly platform releases. Your purchase includes a post-go-live support and maintenance window during which we fix issues and verify compatibility against new BC versions. After that, ongoing maintenance and enhancements are available as an optional support retainer.
Is this a per-tenant extension or an AppSource app?
It is a per-tenant extension installed directly on your tenant. That means the code is tailored to your dimensions, posting groups and workflow, it can integrate tightly with your existing setup, and there is no public marketplace listing. We provide the .app and a handover package so you always retain a deployable copy.
Does it work with my existing chart of accounts and dimensions?
Yes. Everything posts through the standard Business Central G/L using your existing chart of accounts, posting groups, number series and dimensions. There is no parallel or shadow ledger. Retainage accrues to a dedicated G/L account you nominate, and all job financials remain reconcilable to your trial balance.
Can the job financials feed Power BI or Power Automate?
Yes. We expose API/OData v4 pages for cost-to-complete, WIP and committed-cost data so Power BI can build dashboards and Power Automate or Dataverse can read job financials through the standard Business Central REST endpoint — no brittle custom integration layer required.
