Optimize Project Operations

This feature gives you the option to use a field that stores start and end dates on projects and project tasks in a time zone-agnostic manner. Currently, times are converted to GMT before being saved, and issues can arise when the conversion moves this to a different day. These issues will be solved by using the time zone-agnostic fields that are not converted to GMT when stored.

Optimize Project Operations

Currently in Dynamics 365 Project Operations, users can only see the markup cost based on the markup price configuration on a price list in actuals. The markup cost was not reflected in the project estimates, quote line details (QLD), contract line details (CLD), and project budgets. This resulted in confusion for users because they could see different prices in actuals when compared to estimates, QLD, CLD, and budgets.

Optimize Project Operations

The milestone date field in the project contract line milestone entity is using user local time while the same field in the invoice entity is time zone independent. This causes a discrepancy in the milestone date when viewed from the invoice schedule in the project contract line in the UI. This feature helps drive parity between the milestone date in both the entities, so that invoicing of milestones is more accurate.

Optimize Project Operations

When a project is created, the time zone is based on the time zone defined in the applied work hour template. When a task is created, the start time, end time, and hours/day are controlled by the working hours of the project. This time zone component can make it difficult to enforce extensibility scenarios related to contracts where the definition of the time boundaries may not cross due to differences created by time zones.
