Body (from Message Center)

We are announcing the ability to enable the beginning balances feature in Dynamics 365 Project Operations. This feature will reach general availability on September 11, 2026.

How does this affect me?
With this feature, you can define and import opening balances for projects during the transition from legacy systems to Dynamics 365 Project Operations. This preserves historical cost, budget, and progress data, so you maintain financial continuity and track data accurately from the migration point.

This feature is especially valuable during system implementations or upgrades. It provides a seamless handover of project financials without disrupting ongoing operations or reporting accuracy.

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