We are announcing the ability to define the accounting date at the invoice level in Dynamics 365 Project Operations. This feature will reach public preview on September 30, 2026. How does this affect me? With this feature, users can set the accounting date on an invoice separately from the transaction and document dates, so the billed revenue posts to the right financial period. This keeps Project Operations and Finance and operations apps in sync, with the same accounting date flowing through for consistent billed sales postings. Key capabilities of this feature include: Introduces an accounting date field on the invoice that you can define. Sets a user-defined accounting date on the billed sales actuals, which is passed to Finance and operations apps, so the transaction is aligned to the same date. Lets the accounting date differ from the transaction or document date to give you control over period alignment. Lets the system fall back to the invoice confirmation date if the accounting date is not defined (existing default behavior). What action do I need to take? This message is for awareness, and no action is required. If you would like more information on this feature, please visit Define the accounting date at invoice level .
