Posted on by Lahmstanley

Hi all,

I have subscired for the Dynamic 365 Project Operations. I am not technical and have no clue how to deploy it to our environment. I think the tool may be useful for our business definitely want to trial it for one of our projects.

Seeking assistance from Microsoft to help deploy it for us.

Thanks

Hi,

It is just another model driven app.

I have a few questions for you.

1) do you have real/live/customer subscription or a trail one?

2) do you any other systems like Dynamics 365 finance and operations? Or is it standalone Project Operations ?

Hi Sohaib,

The customer subscription starts with a free version, so I guess it's free? But will turn into a full subscription in 1 months time.

We don't use any other Dynamic 365 products? It would be just Project Operations.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

As you have no other system before, you will follow two steps process.

1) Install a new instance of Dataverse

2) Install the app (Dynamics 365 for Project Operations)

This is documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/project-operations/environment/lite-deployment#new

to somewhat I disagree with the documented process, as you have also the option to complete both steps in one go (in other words deploying the app and dataverse at the same time)

Please give it a go and let us know if you face any issues:

Choose , the option to deploy the D365 apps as well

choose the correct app, which in your case is not ERP one, as you do not have the F&O system.

Hi Lahmstanley,

In addition to the suggestion from Sohaib, a global administrator can acquire a trial license for Project Operations in Marketplace on the M365 admin portal. Then you can deploy a Trial instance, instead of a Sandbox.

Thanks Gents.

Just to confirm, once deployed, the product is run in the Power Apps platform?

I cannot find it here:

Hi,

Once you have the app, you have many ways to go from there.

as an admin you can publish app on apps centeral/home page https://myapps.microsoft.com/

Hi Sohaib,

I am still stuck here:. I suspect this is the reason I cannot pin it yet? Why is it so hard to deply an app I have paid for? How can I get past this?

Hi @Lahmstanley

You are trying it on LCS which was used to deploy Dynamics 365 Finance.

If you want to install Dynamics 365 Project Operation (CE-version) Please go to "https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/" > Manage > Environments and create a new environment as explained by @Sohaib as above.

If you are looking for D365 Finance - Project Management & Accounting, you have to install Dynamics 365 Finance and for that you can find some document in Microsoft Learn docs.

Thanks,

CA Gaurangkumar Jani

Hi Lahmstanley,

Were you able to deploy and find the Project Operations environment, or do you still need help? If would be great if you can provide us with an update.

Hi Andre,

Unfortunately not, and Microsoft has not been helpful either. I was contacted by someone from Microsoft but they had no idea how to deploy it. very frustrating.
