Business value
This feature enables users to take advantage of our modern architecture with our resource/non-stocked scenarios using the Dataverse platform. Users benefit from great user experiences, deep functionality in project planning using Microsoft Project for the Web, and resource management using Unified Resource Management.
Feature details
The enhancements introduced with this feature work toward parallel use of projects from both deployment types. This change allows for limited transaction entry and invoicing for long-running projects in support of moving fully to the modern architecture. This is a large effort that won't have all functionality delivered at once. The enhancements will allow customers to try the modern architecture in a test environment, and move from the stocked deployment type to resource/non-stocked deployment type if desired.
This feature is for customers who are using our stocked/production order deployment type without the need for production orders or manufacturing. The changes made allow customers who have used the Project Management and Accounting module in the past to now enable the resource/non-stocked deployment type without having to reimplement their existing legal entity. Customers who want to continue using the capabilities in the stocked deployment type won't be impacted by any changes made in this feature.
Changes include:
The existing validation in the Global project management and accounting parameters form will be relaxed to allow legal entities with existing project data to be enabled for resource/non-stock deployment types.
The Global project management and accounting parameters validation will now check for all projects to be closed. The initial requirements for this feature will be to support closing all existing projects and creating new projects within Dataverse going forward.
Business processes will be evaluated to ensure proper restrictions are in place for the appropriate deployment types. For example, invoices for Dataverse-based projects can only be created from Dataverse.
We will remove access or make read-only the legacy functions that exist in both deployment types. For example, resource management and project work breakdown structures will no longer be editable in the finance and operations user interface for the resource/non-stocked deployment mode with this feature enabled. For projects created in resource/non-stocked deployment mode, users are able to use Unified Resource Scheduling experiences for resource scheduling, and Project for the Web experiences for project planning.
