Details

Body (from Message Center)

We are announcing the ability to create work orders from project tasks in Dynamics 365 Project Operations. This feature will reach general availability on July 31, 2026.

How does this affect me?
This feature enhances the Dynamics 365 Field Service and Project Operations integration by enabling your project and field teams to create Field Service work orders directly from project tasks or linking existing work orders to specific project tasks.

Linking work orders at the task level also enables task-based billing in Dynamics 365 Project Operations for Field Service execution, where contract rules apply at the project task level, so only selected tasks are billed under a given contract line. This supports mixed billing models within a single project and ensures invoicing reflects only the contractual scope.

To use task-based billing, ensure contract lines in Project Operations are configured at the project task level so that only selected tasks are billed under a given contract line.

What action do I need to take?
This message is for awareness, and no action is required.
