Price Override in Project Operations | Part 2 [Understanding Change Amount effect]

Continuing from Part 1: Price Override in Project Operations | Part 1 [Inconsistent Price Update], let’s look at the Pricing.

When you entered $250 for the Price Per Unit – you assumed it will update the price to $250 from $225
And what you got it this – $475

Here’s the catch!

Although the wordings of the field convey that it’ll be updated to the absolute price you entered, rather it “added” to the existing Price!!
Hence, 250 + 225 = 475.

So, don’t make the mistake of assuming it’s asking for ‘new price‘, it’s actually asking you ‘how to much to increase or decrease the price by‘

Cost Plus Billing in Project Operations

March 23, 2025March 23, 2025 priyeshwagh777 CRM with .NET Web Applications cost plus pricing, dynamics 365 project operations, Project Operations

Here’s how your Project Contract can be setup for Cost Plus Billing in Project Operations –

So how does Cost Plus Pricing work? Simple Answer – Specify a Markup for the Sales price in terms of % based on what the Cost Price is.

So, when you enter the Sales Prices without having Cost Plus Pricing Enabled, you’ll see that you simply can enter the Sales Price of the Resource as shown below

Now, let’s see how you specify the Cost Plus pricing in Sales Price Lists so that it is driven off of the Markup of the % of the Cost Price.

Enable Cost Plus Pricing from Project Parameters

First, you need to enable Cost Plus Pricing in your Project Operations environment –

Given you have the correct access, navigate to Project Parameters settings in your environment and look for the Feature Control where it says that you can enable Cost Plus Pricing –
It’ll give you a warning that once this is enabled, you cannot disable it for the organization –
Now, when you try to add Role Prices in the Sales Price List, you can select this option –
And enter the % of the Markup you want to setup for Cost Plus Pricing.
In this case, my Markup is 25% of the Cost Price.
Now, my Cost Price for the Marketing Manager Role is $200.
Now, given that my Project Contract has Project Contract Line is this Role, the Amount will be determined based on this Markup. Here, I’ve quoted 100 hours for the Marketing Manager Role which makes the Cost Price as $20,000 and the Sale Price as $25,000.
Now, when the Unbilled Actuals is created, it’ll consider the 25% Markup for the Marketing Manager role and calculate the Billing Amount i.e. $250 which is a Markup of 25% on top of $200.

Time and Materials Billing Backlog table in Project Operations

January 8, 2024 priyeshwagh777 Project Operations Dataverse, Dynamics 365, dynamics 365 project operations, power apps, Power Automate, Power Platform, time and materials billing backlog, time and materials project operations

Even wondered what is Time and Materials Billing Backlog table in Project Operations which you see in the Sitemap but you might not be sure what records are in it –

Time and Materials Billing Backlog

Here’s the purpose of Time and Materials Billing Backlog entity –

Given that you have 2 Time Entries Submitted for Approval to the Project Management / Account Manager.
When the Time Entries are Submitted, the Approver receives them for Approval. The Project Approver can then Approve the Time Entries.
Once they Approve the Time Entries, they are turned into Actuals (msdyn_actual) in Project Operations.
Then, Actuals are then Supposed to be marked as Ready to Invoice.
So, when the Actuals are the created and even when they are marked Ready to Invoice, that’s when they appear in Time and Materials Billing Backlog view.
This table is in fact Actuals table itself! 😊 (There’s no Time and Entry Billing Backlog as a separate Table in Dataverse).
In fact, Accounting managers or Project Managers can Ready the Actuals from the Time and Materials Billing Backlog table itself.
Now, then the Invoice is created for the ready Actuals, they are added to Invoice Lines
And then, they are removed from the Time and Materials Billing Backlog view.
