K3 Pebblestone
by K3 Business Technology Group
Manufacturing ERPPasses all 6 Full MRP testsProprietary SaaSPartially verified
Fashion and apparel ERP embedded in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: color, size and second-size matrices, style management, landed cost and CSR rules. Manufacturing is a separate K3 extension that needs Business Central Premium and uses its MRP and MPS. No K3 price is published.
Why it is classified this way
We call this a Manufacturing ERP product. A broad business system (accounting, sales, purchasing) with a substantial manufacturing or planning module attached.
This product meets our Full MRP tests, but we classify it by its center of gravity rather than its planning engine alone. The capability table below shows the detail.
The six Full MRP tests, and how K3 Pebblestone does on each (6 of 6)

Demand includes "a component need for assembly or production orders", and MRP is "the calculation of material requirements based on actual demand for components", generated "one level at a time, for each item's low-level code". Scope: Premium plan.
- YesIt uses lead times or required dates.Evidence: marketplace.microsoft.com › PUBID.k3businesstechnologygroup|AID.k3pebblestone manufac…(opens in a new tab); learn.microsoft.com › Production about planning functionality(opens in a new tab); learn.microsoft.com › Purchasing date calculation for purchases(opens in a new tab)

These rules are applied identically to every product and enforced at build time, a record cannot be published as Full MRP unless all six pass with a source attached. Read the methodology.
Best for
- Fashion brands, wholesalers and manufacturers already committed to Microsoft Business Central
- Businesses that need color, size and second-size matrices across orders, stock and production
- Brands that manufacture in part and want Business Central's MRP with a fashion matrix on top
Not a fit when
- Small shops wanting a published price: K3's licenses are quote only on top of Business Central
- Anyone on Business Central Essentials who needs manufacturing, which requires Premium
- Makers outside fashion and apparel
Pricing facts
What it costs to do manufacturing in this product.
No published price
This vendor does not publish pricing, so you cannot compare it against anything here without contacting them. We will not estimate a figure.
What moves the real bill
- Required add-ons. The manufacturing capability needs: K3 Pebblestone Manufacturing extension (price not published).
- Annual billing assumed. The advertised rate requires paying for a year up front. Monthly billing costs more.
- No published price. You have to contact the vendor, which usually means a sales call.
Plans

|---|---|---|
| Business Central Premium + K3Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with K3 PebblestoneBilled yearly, shown per month | $110 per user/mo | K3 Pebblestone and its Manufacturing extension (unpriced) |
| $110 per user a month is Microsoft's Business Central Premium price; K3's own licenses are not priced publicly, so any total here is a lower bound. | ||

Pricing detail
K3 publishes no price; its pages offer a call with a specialist. The K3 Pebblestone app "supports the Essentials and Premium Editions of Dynamics 365 Business Central", but the Manufacturing extension "supports both the Premium editions", so manufacturing means Business Central Premium, which Microsoft lists at $110 per user a month paid yearly, plus the K3 licenses on top. The plan below models only that floor.

Editorial notes and cautions
Things we would want a friend to know before buying.
- Planning, item tracking, API and export evidence is Business Central's own documentation. K3's additions (matrices, landed cost, CSR) are described only on its marketplace listings and marketing pages.
- Manufacturing needs the separate K3 Pebblestone Manufacturing extension and Business Central Premium; the base K3 Pebblestone app also runs on Essentials, which has no manufacturing.

Why this record is not Verified. Held at partially verified: K3's own evidence is marketing and its license price is not published.
Researched 2026-09-19 from K3's SMB and K3 Pebblestone pages and the Microsoft Marketplace listings for K3 Pebblestone and K3 Pebblestone Manufacturing, read in full. Because the Manufacturing extension runs on Business Central Premium, platform capabilities cite Microsoft's documentation, as the Harvest Food Solutions record does.

What we still want to confirm
We publish our gaps rather than hiding them. If you can point us at a first-party page for any of these, we will update the record and credit the correction.
- Get K3's license prices for K3 Pebblestone and the Manufacturing extension.
- Find documentation for K3's own features (matrix production BOMs, landed cost, CSR).
- Confirm whether K3 offers on-premise deployment.
