maintenance work orders by calendar or usage, so small plants avoid unplanned machine downtime without the cost of a full EAM. Built, installed as a per-tenant AL extension, and supported by ECOSIRE.
核心功能
Calendar-based PM scheduling: trigger maintenance every N days, weeks, or months per asset, with lead-time look-ahead so orders are raised before the due date
Usage-based PM scheduling: trigger on running hours, cycle counts, or meter/odometer readings posted against each asset
Auto-generated recurring maintenance orders via a Business Central Job Queue entry that evaluates every active PM plan on a schedule you control
Reusable checklist and task templates assigned per asset type, copied onto each generated order so technicians always get the right procedure
Asset registry as an AL table (or table extension on Fixed Asset/Item) holding criticality, location, meter readings, and warranty/service data
Technician assignment with suggested-resource logic and completion logging (start/finish, tasks done, parts and labor consumed)
Downtime and maintenance-cost history captured per asset and per order, exposed through Business Central queries and ready for Power BI
Dedicated permission sets for planners, technicians, and viewers so PM data respects your existing Business Central security model
Optional approval workflow for high-cost or critical-asset orders using Business Central's native approval/event-subscriber framework
Role-center page with a PM cue stack (overdue, due this week, in progress) and drill-down to each maintenance order
OData/REST API endpoints (BC API pages) so meter readings or completions can be pushed from IoT/SCADA, a Power App, or a kiosk
Optional Dataverse / Power Platform sync so a mobile Power App writes completions back to the same Business Central tables
Built as a clean per-tenant extension with upgrade codeunits and event subscribers so it survives Microsoft's monthly platform updates

关于此产品
Preventive Maintenance Scheduler is a focused, build-to-order extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central that gives small plants disciplined preventive maintenance without the weight or licensing of a full EAM platform. ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs, and supports it directly on your tenant.
The extension adds an Asset registry (table extension on, or a new table alongside, your existing Fixed Asset/Item records), per-asset PM Plans, and task/checklist templates. A scheduling engine running on the Business Central Job Queue evaluates each plan on a calendar trigger (every N days/weeks/months) or a usage trigger (running hours, cycle counts, or odometer readings posted against the asset) and auto-generates recurring maintenance orders before the due date — so work is planned, not reactive.
Each generated order carries the correct checklist for that asset type, a suggested technician, and parts/labor lines. Technicians complete tasks and log results from a Business Central role-center page (and, optionally, a Power App built on the same data via Dataverse). Every completion writes to a downtime and maintenance-cost history that feeds standard Business Central analytics, account schedules, and Power BI.
Because this is delivered as a per-tenant extension (not a public AppSource listing), the data model, triggers, permission sets, and approval flow are tailored to how your plant actually runs. It is built in AL with table/page extensions, event subscribers, and clean upgrade codeunits so it survives Microsoft's monthly updates. We honor an honest delivery lead time, hand over source and documentation, and stay on for support. No invented AppSource link, no instant download — a real extension, built for your environment.
你得到什么
- The compiled Business Central per-tenant extension (.app) installed on your sandbox first, then your production environment
- Full AL source code (table/page/codeunit objects, event subscribers, upgrade codeunits) handed over in a Git repository you own
- Configured Job Queue entry that runs the PM generation engine on your chosen cadence
- Permission sets for planner, technician, and viewer roles, plus a setup guide for assigning them
- Seeded checklist/task templates for your asset types and an initial asset/PM-plan import from your spreadsheet or legacy data
- Admin and technician documentation (PDF) plus a recorded walkthrough of the day-to-day workflow
- Up to two rounds of revisions during UAT on your sandbox, plus post-go-live support per the agreed support window
这是给谁的
Small-Plant Operations Owner
Runs a single facility with a handful of critical machines and wants reliable preventive maintenance without buying or learning a full EAM/CMMS. Needs work orders to appear automatically and a simple view of what is overdue.
Maintenance Planner / Supervisor
Owns the maintenance calendar and meter readings. Wants templates per machine type, automatic order generation, technician assignment, and a clean record of what was done, when, and at what cost.
Business Central Administrator / Finance Lead
Already runs the plant on Business Central and wants maintenance cost and downtime to live in the same system as inventory and GL — not a disconnected tool — with proper permission sets and Power BI reporting.

关于Preventive Maintenance Scheduler的常见问题
Is this a Microsoft AppSource app I can install instantly?
No. This is a build-to-order per-tenant extension. ECOSIRE builds it in AL specifically for your Business Central environment, installs it on your sandbox for testing, then deploys it to production. There is no instant AppSource download — you get an extension tailored to your asset types, triggers, and security model, plus the source code.
What is the delivery lead time?
Because each build is scoped to your plant, typical delivery is about 2 to 4 weeks from confirmed requirements: a short discovery on your asset list and PM rules, then build, then UAT on your sandbox before we promote to production. We agree the exact timeline in writing before starting, and the $249 covers the standard scope described on this page.
How does it work without a full EAM module?
It uses native Business Central building blocks: AL table/page extensions for assets and PM plans, a Job Queue entry that evaluates plans on a schedule, and event subscribers to generate orders and log completions. Everything lives inside your existing tenant, so maintenance cost and downtime report alongside your inventory and GL data — no separate system to license or sync.
Will it survive Business Central's monthly updates?
Yes. It is delivered as a clean per-tenant extension built with table/page extensions, event subscribers, and upgrade codeunits rather than modifications to base objects. That is exactly the pattern Microsoft supports for surviving the monthly platform updates. We also test against your next sandbox update on request.
What ongoing support and updates do I get?
After go-live you get a support window (agreed at purchase) covering bug fixes and questions. Because you receive the full AL source in a repo you own, you are never locked in — your own team or any AL developer can extend it later. ECOSIRE also offers ongoing maintenance and enhancement retainers if you prefer us to keep evolving it.
Can technicians use it on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The Business Central web client works on tablets out of the box. For a richer mobile flow, we can optionally expose the data through Dataverse and build a Power App, or use the extension's OData/REST API pages so a kiosk, mobile app, or even IoT/SCADA meter feed can push readings and completions back into the same tables.
