Project and Resources in different Time zones within Project – Dynamics 365 Project Operations

Came across below insightful post, while looking for details on Calendar Template / Work Template.

Project and Resources in different Time zones with Project for the Web

Dates and values are displayed in your time zone. Because the project could take place in a different time zone, the project schedule may appear incorrect message in the Project entity/table – Dynamics 365

We might get the below message/notification on opening the Project form –

Dates and values are displayed in your time zone. Because the project could take place in a different time zone, the project schedule may appear incorrect.

This message will appear if the Project’s timezone differs from the logged-in user’s timezone.

The project’s timezone is defined in the Calendar

For the user, it is defined in the user settings – Personalization Settings

Let us set it to be the same time zone as the project.

We will not get the notification now for that specific project.

If we check in detail, we can see below out-of-the-box method validateUserAndProjectTimezone getting fired on the onLoad of Project form, which fetches and compares the Timezone associated with the Project and Logged In User and shows the notification.

The user cannot write data to this table, only the integration users may write data to this table – Dynamics 365 Project Operations

We configured the Project Operations app in one of our Dataverse Environments, and while creating a Company record we got the below error.

Exception Message: OrganizationServiceFault Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.InvalidPluginExecutionException: “The user be60d0fd-778e-ee11-be36-00224893a88b cannot write data to this table, only the integration users may write data to this table.” At Mcrosoft.Dynamics.FOCommon.Plugins.Services.ReadonlyEntityService.PreModify(LocalPluginContext localcontext) at Microsoft.Dynamics.FOCommon.Plugins.PluginBase.Execute(IServiceProvider serviceProvider)

Plugin: ExceptionFromPluginExecute: Microsoft.Dynamics.FOCommon.Plugins.ReadonlyEntityPreModify

The error is because the system doesn’t allow creating a Company in the Dataverse / Dynamics 365 Project Operations App. Ideally, it has to be created at the F&O end and integrated with the Dataverse Environment.

Company Concept in Dataverse

The steps to setup / initialize the company data

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/data-entities/dual-write/bootstrap-company-data

This was because we had unintentionally installed the dual-write application orchestration package that installs multiple solutions in their Microsoft Dataverse environment, which added the company table.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/project-operations/environment/resource-manual-deploy-dataverse-dualwrite

So one option is to remove the Dual Write solutions installed in that environment.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/data-entities/dual-write/uninstall-solutions

As mentioned, for Dynamics 365 Notes we got the below error, for which we need to raise a Support Ticket.

Luckily in our case, we had just created the environment a few days back, so had the option to Reset it. So we eventually took the path of resetting the environment with the Project Operations app selected.
