You need to address the employees issue regarding expense report policy violations.
Which parameter should you use?
A. Validate expense purpose
B. Evaluate expense management policies
C. Policy rule type
D. Pre-authorization of travel is mandatory
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Use **Evaluate expense management policies** to have policy violations checked as each expense transaction line is entered, so employees are notified before submitting the full expense report.
Question 6
A company is using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance. The company sells one of its assets.
You need to dispose of this asset in the system.
Which transaction type should you use?
A. Disposal - sale
B. Extraordinary depreciation
C. Disposal - scrap
D. Acquisition
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: When an asset is sold in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, the appropriate fixed asset transaction type is 'Disposal - sale'. 'Disposal - scrap' is used when the asset is discarded without sale proceeds, 'Extraordinary depreciation' records exceptional depreciation rather than disposal, and 'Acquisition' is for adding an asset.
Question 7
HOTSPOT
-
You manage the consolidation an elimination process in Dynamics 365 Finance for a company.
The company must consolidate financial data from multiple subsidiaries that use different currencies and systems. The company must ensure that intercompany eliminations are correctly processed.
You need to setup and run the consolidation and elimination process in Finance.
How should you complete the configuration? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Consolidation with multiple subsidiaries, currencies, and systems → Consolidate with import.
Consolidation with partially owned subsidiary → Perform financial reporting with ownership percentage.
Reporting that displays consolidations by business unit or organizational hierarchies → Perform financial reporting.
Explanation: Import-based consolidation supports data from multiple systems and currencies. Ownership percentage handling for partial ownership is provided in Financial reporting. Financial reporting also supports reporting by business unit and organizational hierarchies.
Question 8
A company is setting up a budget control system to improve financial management. The company completes the following initial steps:
• Defined financial dimensions
• Set default time intervals
• Configured basic budgeting parameters
The company requires the budget control functionality to monitor and compare the actual expenditures to the budgeted amounts.
You need to configure the budget control configuration linked to the budgeted amount so that the system can effectively monitor and compare actual expenditures to budgeted amounts.
What should you do next?
A. Specify user groups with permissions to exceed the budget.
B. Define the calculation formula for budget funds available, including draft documents.
C. Assign budget models to the budget cycle time spans.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: After defining financial dimensions, default time intervals, and basic budgeting parameters, budget control must be linked to actual budget data. Assigning budget models to budget cycle time spans associates the budget model containing budgeted amounts with the relevant budget periods, enabling budget control to compare actual expenditures against budgeted amounts. Specifying budget funds available formulas or user over-budget permissions are later configuration details and do not establish the budget model used for control.
Question 9
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
A company uses Dynamics 365 Finance.
The customer payment journal must only be available for selection by the accounts receivable user group.
You need to configure the accounts receivable journal name to meet the requirement.
Solution: Configure the posting restriction.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Posting restrictions control who can post or work with journals under specific restrictions, but they do not make a journal name available only to a particular user group for selection. To make a journal available only to the accounts receivable user group, configure the journal as private for the appropriate user group (Blocking > Private for user group). Therefore, the proposed solution does not meet the requirement.
Question 10

A company uses Dynamics 365 Finance. The company sells extended warranty services that use a project fee journal.
You need to recognize unearned revenue for the extended warranty service over time.
Solution: Configure the project ledger posting for the fee category to post to the unearned revenue account, set up a deferral template, configure the deferral default for the general journal, and use the general journal with the deferral process to create a deferral schedule and recognize the unearned revenue from it.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: The solution meets the goal. Posting the project fee to an unearned revenue (liability) account through the project ledger posting and then using a deferral template with the general journal deferral process creates a deferral schedule that recognizes the revenue over time, which is the intended approach for extended warranty revenue recognition.
Question 11
A company uses Dynamics 365 Finance for budget control.
The company completes the budget control setup and activates the feature. The budget register entries that were posted before turning on budget control are not included in the list of entries.
You need to include the entries posted before budget control was activated.
What should you do?
A. Deactivate budget control and set it up again
B. Manually trigger a budget control check
C. Update the balances for budget raiser entries that were excided.
D. Use budget control data maintenance to reprocess the entries.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Budget register entries posted before budget control is activated are not automatically included in budget control balances. To incorporate those historical entries, use the Budget control data maintenance process to reprocess the entries and rebuild the relevant budget control data. Deactivating and reconfiguring budget control, manually triggering checks, or updating excluded budget raiser balances do not address this scenario.
Question 12
A company uses the basic budgeting functionality in Dynamics 365 Finance.
You need to create budget register entries.
What are three possible ways to achieve this goal?
Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
A. Use a periodic batch job to automatically prepare budget data on a recurring basis.
B. Use the Create Budget Allocation rules page to generate periodic budget register entries.
C. Use the Microsoft Office add-in on the Budget register entry page.
D. Manually enter the budget information on the Budget register entry page.
E. Import budget register entries by using the Data management page.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C, D, E
Explanation: In Dynamics 365 Finance basic budgeting, budget register entries can be created by manual entry on the Budget register entry page, by using the Microsoft Office (Excel) add-in for that page, or by importing entries through Data management. Budget allocation rules generate allocation transactions rather than serving as a general creation method for budget register entries, and there is no periodic batch job that automatically prepares recurring budget register entries.
Question 13
Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
A company operates in multiple currencies. The company is setting up currency revaluation posting profiles for General ledger, Accounts payable, Bank and Accounts receivable.
The company requires currency revaluation posting profiles to post unrealized and realized gains or losses to the correct accounts for applicable currencies.
You need to configure the currency revaluation posting profiles.
Solution:
• Configure currency revaluation posting profiles for General ledger for each applicable main account for each currency.
• Select unrealized gain and loss accounts for all currencies.
• Configure realized gains and losses posting for all vendors.
• Configure realized gains and losses posting for each customer group.
Does the solution meet the goal?
A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The solution does not fully meet the goal. General ledger revaluation profiles are configured per applicable main account and currency with unrealized gain/loss accounts. However, the proposed configuration is inconsistent across subledgers: realized gains/losses should be configured according to the appropriate posting profile setup for both vendors and customers (not specifically 'all vendors' versus 'each customer group' as stated), and the solution also omits the required configuration for Bank currency revaluation posting profiles mentioned in the scenario.
