Updating pwa (project online) Timesheets through dynamics

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by CU09051456-0 43

I have a model‐driven app in Dynamics 365 with a custom Time Entry table. Each Time Entry record includes:

  • Hours (decimal)

  • Date (date)

  • Notes (multiline text)

  • Task (lookup to my Task table, which stores the PWA Assignment GUID)

  • User (lookup to SystemUser, defaulting to “Created By”)

What I want to do:

  • Automatically insert each Time Entry into the user’s Project Online timesheet (so that 5 hours on June 1 appear on the correct PWA Task/Assignment).

What I’ve tried so far

  • Pulled sample code/links for OData V1 (ProjectData) from Jitterbit docs.

  • Considered calling OData V2 (?api-version=2.0), but not sure if CRUD is actually supported.

  • Read about ProjectServer REST (/_api/ProjectServer/…) for timesheet operations, but looking for a simpler or “built-in” approach.

What I need help with

  • Is there a more direct method (other than hand-rolling OData queries) to push Dynamics Time Entry rows into PWA timesheets?

  • Has anyone used Power Automate to do this—if so, what connector or HTTP URI patterns did you use?

  • Any recommended documentation or code samples aside from the Jitterbit OData guide?

    Try implementing below Power Automate. 
     

    Connectors & Actions:

    • Dataverse Connector:
      • Trigger: When a row is added, modified, or deleted from your custom Dynamics Time Entry table.
      • Action: Retrieve additional details (Get a row by ID) if necessary.
     
    • SharePoint HTTP Action (Built-in Power Automate HTTP connector tied to SharePoint Online authentication):
      • URI Patterns Used (Commonly Applied):
        • To Add a Timesheet Line:
           
           
          POST https://{tenant}.sharepoint.com/sites/{pwa-site}/_api/ProjectServer/Timesheets('[TimesheetPeriodId]')/Lines/Add
           
        • Payload Pattern Example:
           
           
          {"parameters": {"AssignmentId": "<assignment-guid-from-task>","Comment": "<notes>","Work": "<hours>h"}}
           
        • To Submit a Timesheet (if required):
           
           
          POST https://{tenant}.sharepoint.com/sites/{pwa-site}/_api/ProjectServer/Timesheets('[TimesheetPeriodId]')/Submit
