In D365FO, Project Management and Accounting, is there a way to disable Auto Scheduling on the project WBS as a default instead of the WBS defaulting to auto scheduling enabled? Thanks

Good morning, afternoon, or evening depending on your location!

In D365 Finance & Operations (D365FO), the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) defaults to Auto Scheduling enabled, but you can adjust this setting.
How to Disable Auto Scheduling by Default

Check Project Parameters

Navigate to Project Management and Accounting > Setup > Project Management and Accounting Parameters.

Look for Scheduling settings and see if there’s an option to disable Auto Scheduling.

Modify WBS Templates

If you use WBS templates, ensure that Auto Scheduling is turned off in the template before applying it to new projects.

Adjust Default Calendar Settings

Go to Project Management and Accounting > Setup > Scheduling.

Modify the default working calendar to prevent automatic scheduling adjustments.

Custom X++ Solution (If Needed)

If there’s no built-in setting to disable Auto Scheduling by default, a custom X++ modification may be required to override the default behavior.

To answer your question: No, there is no parameter for this. It can also be verified by code

You need to make a customization of the WBS form. I've done it a few times.

For visualization sake, these are the available parameters in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations for projects scheduling, in a US legal entity without Project Operations - Stocked deployment.

These are the available fields on a WBS template

Thanks confirming Jonas. When I first looked through the parameters and templates, I was hoping I missed something so posted the question. But, looks like I did not miss anything. Thanks
