Dynamics 365 Business Central

The article titled "Hi, Readers" discusses the public preview for Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 release wave 1 (BC24) being available.
The author mentions that they will be testing and sharing new features that they hope will be helpful.
One of the new features introduced in BC24 is the ability to create projects that can be invoiced to multiple customers. This feature simplifies billing for projects involving multiple customers by allowing users to specify the bill-to and sell-to customers on each project task line. This information can then be used to automatically generate invoices for the correct customers.
The article explains that this feature is an enhancement to the functionality introduced in Business Central 2022 wave 1 (BC20) which allowed the sell-to and bill-to customers to be different for jobs.
The article provides details on how to set the default task billing method in the Project Setup Page. Users can choose between "One Customer" and "Multiple Customers" options.
The article also mentions that the default task billing method can be changed in the Project Card, but this change is irreversible if tasks are defined for the project.
The author notes that Microsoft has made various fields available on the Project Task table, Project Task Lines subform page, and the Project Task Card page to enable users to enter billing and shipping details.
The article concludes by encouraging readers to try out the new features introduced in BC24 and thanks them for reading.
