A new Pricing tab appears on the contract (and later the quote) and becomes the default pricing surface, replacing the Project Price List tab. Instead of listing only the price lists apply, it displays a consolidated grid of the prices that actually default for each pricing-dimension combination and date. You switch between price types, labor/role, category, and material, with a view picker, and role-price markups appear within the role view.

Dynamics 365 Project Operations will extend date-effective price overrides to expense category and material prices, allowing scheduled price changes for these categories and materials. This feature is generally available in March 2027.

Project Operations price lists support three price types — role, expense category, and product/material — but only role prices currently support date-effective overrides. This feature extends date-effective price overrides to expense category and material prices, so you can schedule a future or time-bound price change for a category or material the same way you do for a role, without creating a separate, context-specific price list. The system honors the override when it prices a transaction, so the effective price reflects the override in force on the transaction date. The feature also aligns…

Dynamics 365 Project Operations is updating the correction journal process to make it easier and more flexible, allowing users to correct different transactions in the same journal and reducing the need to recall draft entries.
What you should do
