Fixed pricing refers to a billing method where the customer is charged a set price for the entire project, regardless of the actual time and materials used. This method is beneficial in scenarios where:

The project scope is well-defined and unlikely to change.
The client prefers cost certainty.
The project involves repetitive tasks with predictable costs.
In Dynamics 365, fixed pricing is implemented by setting up a project contract with a fixed price billing method. Revenue is recognized based on milestones or percentage completion.
