How Clarity Ukraine Creates and Develops Add-ons for Business Central and the Ukrainian Localisation of the System. This article is dedicated to the in-house product development department at Clarity Ukraine, which over the past year has created and enhanced a number of its own add-ons and the localisation of Business Central. This demonstrates not only deep expertise in the system we specialise in — Business Central — but also a profound understanding of customer pain points, the need to adapt the system to Ukrainian accounting specifics, and the integration with other systems and services that improve user experience, reporting and electronic document management.
A Product Approach to Business Central Development
We work systematically on our current suite of applications, while maintaining a substantial backlog of product development and complex industry solutions for our clients in the year ahead. We also regularly release localisation updates to ensure full compliance with Ukrainian legislation. Our ambition is excellence both in service IT — where we implement the system with a clear focus and team expertise — and in product IT, where we create an ecosystem of add-ons that strengthen the capabilities of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, a powerful cloud ERP platform.
Proprietary Add-ons as a Continuation of ERP Implementation Practice
Developing proprietary solutions is a logical extension of Clarity Ukraine’s long-standing practice of implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Working with the system at the level of architecture, accounting models and business processes of real companies, the team gradually formed a dedicated product direction focused on creating and developing additional solutions that address business needs beyond the standard ERP functionality.
Over the past year, the development department not only maintained its existing line of applications but also significantly expanded and deepened their functionality. These improvements stem from a deep understanding of Business Central as a platform and systematic engagement with the requests of CFOs, accountants and management teams operating in the realities of the Ukrainian market.
Development of the “Accounting by Agreements” Solution
Special attention was given to the “Accounting by Agreements” solution, which received a series of functional enhancements aimed at more precise and transparent accounting of contracts and settlements. Practice shows that standard ERP mechanisms are insufficient for financial accounting by agreements and tracking key contract parameters. Development was therefore based on real usage scenarios, improved manageability of financial data and enhanced analytical accounting.
Key improvements included:
Continuous Ukrainian Localisation of Business Central
Localisation remains a permanent focus. At Clarity Ukraine, localisation is not treated as a one-off task but as continuous work to ensure compliance with legislation and adaptation to the real needs of Ukrainian accountants. Over the past year, we refined core accounting modules, including currency revaluation, fixed asset accounting and inventory, as well as daily operations of Ukrainian accounting departments.
Examples include:
VAT Accounting Enhancements
A major set of changes addressed VAT accounting, extending functionality to reflect practical tax scenarios, including consolidated tax invoices, VAT on imported services and expanded analytical reporting. These improvements reduce the operational burden on finance teams and minimise risks of tax accounting errors.
Analytics and Turnover Balance Reports
The team also advanced analytical capabilities beyond the system’s standard features. We implemented universal approaches to turnover and analytical reporting, adaptable to different business models and management needs, ensuring stable performance with large data volumes and clear interpretation for management.
Cash Flow and Treasury Management
Significant enhancements were made to cash flow management solutions. The “Advanced Treasury” add-on focused on improving payment approval control, automating payment order creation and deepening forecasting analytics. The “Bank Payments Matching” add-on synchronises bank statement lines with payment requests and improves counterparty identification during statement uploads, reducing manual work and providing timely insights into receivables, payables and cash positions.
New Products and Ecosystem Development
Development of existing solutions runs in parallel with new product creation. Two major solutions are currently undergoing Microsoft registration, marking a logical stage in Clarity Ukraine’s product expertise and confirming market relevance.
A Unified Centre of Business Central Expertise in Ukraine
By combining deep expertise in implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with a product approach to developing proprietary add-ons, Clarity Ukraine offers clients not just an ERP system but a comprehensive applied environment adapted to local requirements, real business processes and strategic goals. This is how we are building the only centre of Business Central expertise in Ukraine.
