How to complete (close) a WBS Task in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations
The Project WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations (D365FO) has a tracking and a costing view that shows progress of hours against the budget. But at some point we also have to be able to declare a WBS task completed. That is the moment that the system should freeze the actual costs and calculate the variance. This functionality is available in both tracking views.
