We are announcing the ability to enable structured creation, review, and approval of contract updates in Dynamics 365 Project Operations. This feature will reach public preview on September 30, 2026. How does this affect me? This feature introduces a structured, auditable process for creating, evaluating, and approving change orders on active project contracts. It allows users to capture updates to scope, pricing, resources, or timelines and apply those approved changes directly to the contract with full traceability. The feature will also record the rationale, financial impact, and approval history for each change order, and will allow version comparison between the original and updated contract details, and updates downstream elements such as billing schedules, budgets, and project schedule. 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 Enable Change Order Management .
