اس مصنوع کے بارے میں
Third-party logistics providers run someone else's inventory and bill for the privilege — but core Business Central has no concept of an "owner of goods", a storage rate card, or activity-based handling charges. Teams end up rebuilding this every month in spreadsheets, then re-keying totals into sales invoices, with revenue leaking on un-captured movements.
Logistics & 3PL Billing for Business Central is a per-tenant AL extension that ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and supports directly on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem). It is not an instant Microsoft AppSource download — it is custom-built to your rate structure and contract terms, then deployed as a tenant-specific extension so it survives Microsoft's monthly platform updates.
The extension adds an Owner of Goods dimension across items and warehouse documents, storage and handling rate cards per client, and activity-based billing that captures inbound receipts, outbound shipments, pick/pack lines and value-added services as billable events. A scheduled job queue entry aggregates the period's activity into a draft Business Central sales invoice per client — using native G/L, dimensions, tax and posting so your accountants keep one source of truth.
Built with table and page extensions, event subscribers on warehouse and posting routines (so no base-app code is touched), permission sets, and OData/REST endpoints for WMS or portal integration. Optional Power Platform / Dataverse hooks let you surface per-client inventory and billing in Power BI or a customer portal.
ECOSIRE scopes the build with you, delivers in a defined lead time, installs to sandbox first for UAT, then promotes to production — and supports it afterward, including fixes when Microsoft ships a breaking platform release.
What you get
- A per-tenant AL extension (.app) built to your storage, handling and VAS rate model, installed on your Business Central environment
- Sandbox-first deployment with a structured UAT pass against your real client list and rate cards before production promotion
- Configured rate cards, VAS catalog and Owner-of-Goods master data seeded from your current spreadsheets / contracts
- Job queue setup for automated period-end draft invoice generation, mapped to your G/L accounts, dimensions and tax groups
- Permission sets and a role walkthrough separating warehouse capture from financial posting
- OData/REST endpoint configuration plus integration notes for your WMS, EDI or portal (optional Dataverse/Power BI wiring on request)
- Admin and operator documentation, plus source AL handover so you are never locked to a single vendor
- Post-go-live support window covering bug fixes and Microsoft platform-update compatibility
Who this is for
3PL Finance Lead
Owns monthly client billing and is tired of reconciling warehouse activity in spreadsheets before re-keying into invoices. Wants storage, handling and VAS charges to flow into Business Central sales invoices automatically, with native G/L, tax and dimensions intact.
Warehouse Operations Manager
Needs every receipt, shipment, pick and value-added service captured as a billable event at the moment it happens, so nothing leaks. Wants per-client inventory and storage-exposure visibility without touching financial postings.
3PL IT / Systems Owner
Responsible for the Business Central tenant and integrations. Wants a clean per-tenant extension (no base-app hacks), OData/REST endpoints for the WMS and portal, proper permission sets, and assurance it survives Microsoft's monthly release cadence.

Frequently Asked Questions about Logistics & 3PL Billing for Business Central
Is this an instant download from Microsoft AppSource?
No. This is a build-to-order extension. ECOSIRE scopes your storage, handling and value-added-service billing model, builds the AL extension to fit it, and installs it directly onto your Business Central environment as a per-tenant extension. It is not a one-click AppSource listing, and we never claim a download link that doesn't exist.
What is the delivery lead time?
After we confirm scope (your rate cards, VAS catalog, client list and integration needs), a typical build is delivered in roughly one working week. We install to a sandbox first for your UAT, then promote to production once you sign off. Larger or heavily integrated builds (EDI, WMS, custom portal) are scoped with their own honest timeline before any work starts.
How are ongoing support and updates handled?
Every build includes a post-go-live support window for bug fixes. Because the extension is built only with table/page extensions and event subscribers — no base-app modification — it is designed to survive Microsoft's monthly platform updates; if a future Business Central release ever breaks compatibility, we fix it under support. Longer-term maintenance and enhancement plans are available.
Will it interfere with our existing accounting and financial postings?
No. The extension generates draft sales invoices using your native Business Central G/L accounts, dimensions, tax setup and number series. Your finance team reviews and posts them as normal, keeping one source of truth. Permission sets separate warehouse activity capture from financial posting.
Can it integrate with our WMS, EDI or a customer portal?
Yes. The extension exposes OData v4 / REST endpoints for rate cards, billable events and per-client balances, so your WMS or EDI flow can feed activity in and pull billing out. We can also wire optional Dataverse / Power Platform connectors to surface per-client inventory and billing in Power BI or a Power Apps customer portal.
