RM577875Dynamics 365 Project Operations: Expense and material budget lines to have project end date as budget line end date during import

Summary

Project managers frequently create budgets by importing material and expense estimates. Currently, the imported budget lines default the end date to the same value as the start date, requiring users to manually update each budget line to reflect the actual project duration. This additional step increases planning effort, introduces the risk of incorrect dates, and creates a poor user experience, particularly for projects with a large number of material and expense estimates. By automatically defaulting the budget line end date to the project end date, the budgeting process becomes faster, more intuitive, and better aligned with typical project planning practices. This is for Dynamics 365 Project Operations core and connected with ERP deployment types.
