A company uses out-of-the-box functionality in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
You identify a bug in the app.
You perform a Lifecycle Services (LCS) issue search. The search results show the bug. The status of the bug is resolved.
You need to implement the Microsoft-supported resolution into a development environment.
What should you do?
A. Download a hotfix for installation into the SYS layer.
B. Copy code changes for manual insertion into the SYS layer.
C. Download a hotfix for installation into the VAR layer.
D. Copy code changes for manual insertion into the VAR layer.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: The issue is a known Microsoft bug with a resolved status in LCS, which means Microsoft has provided an official fix. Microsoft-supported fixes must be applied as hotfixes, not by manually copying code. Because the fix is Microsoft-owned code, it is installed into the SYS layer rather than the VAR layer, which is reserved for partner or customer customizations.

Background
-
VanArsdel, Ltd. is a company that uses Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil in an on-premises environment. The company implemented the solution by using Sure Step 2012. VanArsdel, Ltd. plans to upgrade to Dynamics 365 Finance, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, and Dynamics 365 Commerce using Proseware, Inc. as the implementation partner.
VanArsdel, Ltd. has implemented 13 other software systems for customer management and sales.
Current Environment
-
Methodology
-
VanArsdel, Ltd. deploys a proprietary methodology named VanPMP. The company plans to use VanPMP for all software implementations. The company uses a standard project template for all new implementations.
Solution
-
Microsoft Power Apps is used by the sales team to enter sales orders. The orders are then integrated with the current Dynamics AX 2012 R3 instance asynchronously once every hour. All sales orders are invoiced through the invoicing batch process at the end of the day. Sales are used for all business-critical scenarios.
The external systems include 12 integrations, such as Microsoft Power Platform, Office 365, Azure, and third-party systems.
One of the automated accounts receivable import integrations, named integration 1, generates revenue in a business-to-business (B2B) scenario that is supported by sales orders. The integration runs every night and is always the first integration to be tested.
All regression testing is completed manually.
Security
-
The company uses Dynamics AX 2012 R3 in all the countries/regions in which they operate.
Because VanArsdel, Ltd. operates within the United States, the company must comply with government financial compliance standards. Government compliance requires that VanArsdel, Ltd. manufacturing divisions must not be able to approve purchase orders. Manufacturing managers must not be able to access data in other manufacturing sites. The manufacturing divisions belong to a single legal entity with multiple sites.
Requirements
-
Licensing
-
The implementation requires the following Dynamics 365 licenses:
• 120 Supply Chain Management licenses
• 60 Finance licenses
• 50 Commerce licenses
Methodology
-
The implementation must use the VanArsdel, Ltd. proprietary methodology for the Dynamics 365 implementation. The methodology in the project template must use the Microsoft-recommended approach. Progress must be tracked in a central location for VanArsdel, Ltd,, Microsoft, and Proseware, Inc. to view.
VanArsdel Ltd. requires a sample methodology in Lifecycle Services (LCS).
The project must coordinate project dates in the methodology with any required Microsoft touchpoints to ensure that the project is on track and implemented according to best practices.
Solution
-
The sales order entry Power Apps integration must be configured by using out-of-the-box solutions.
Integrations
-
The company has the following integration requirements:
• Four integrations must run asynchronously.
• Eight integrations must run synchronously.
• The integrations must be able to run after applying updates to the system.
All items must have their own item pricing. Each item must have an MSRP and a selling price that is determined based on the date and location.
Testing
-
The user reporting test case needs to be reviewed by using the same process in the test environment.
The Regression suite automation tool (RSAT) must be used to automate every critical scenario. All other testing must be performed manually.
Integration 1 must be deployed first. All data must be created and tested in the correct sequence to ensure that pricing is applied correctly to the item.
Security
-
Dynamics 365 must be rolled out incrementally by country/region. The implementation must go live in the United States first, and then continue to the other countries/regions over the next 12 months.
VanArsdel, Ltd, must assign access to new users based on the site of the users.
VanArsdel, Ltd. requires that Proseware, Inc. perform the following:
• Objective 1. Determine the software licensing costs for the system based on the contracted costs determined during the start of the project.
• Objective 2. Audit the security roles for users in the manufacturing division.
Issues
-
Some users report that too many fields are displayed when the users create records in the Dynamics 365 AX 2012 R3 instance. These fields often prevent users from being productive.
Statement of work concerns
-
Before the project kickoff, several of the VanArsdel, Ltd. IT team members had concerns after reviewing the statement of work. The primary concerns were raised by the following team members
• An administrator named Admin1 reports a performance impact on multiple large integrations with the Dynamics 365 AX 2012 R3 implementation.
• An administrator named Admin2 reports a concern with environment management with the global rollout.
All concerns must be reviewed and scheduled with all solution architects in workshops.
Testing
-
The Dynamics 365 AX 2012 R3 instance experiences frequent issues due to users running reports for an extended period of time on the same Application Object Server (AOS) service. A user named User1 reports a delay retrieving the same report in Dynamics 365.
You need to identify the security configuration required for new users and for the manufacturing managers.
Which security configurations should you use? To answer, move the appropriate security configurations to the correct requirements. You may use each security configuration once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: New users → Mandatory access control
Manufacturing managers → Record-level security
Explanation: Mandatory access control enforces access based on predefined rules such as site assignment for new users. Record-level security restricts access to specific records, preventing manufacturing managers from viewing data from other sites.
Question 83
DRAG DROP
-
A company implements Dynamics 365 Finance in a self-service environment. The company plans to deploy code changes to the production environment.
You need to recommend methods to deploy the changes.
What should you recommend? To answer, drag the appropriate deployment methods to the correct code types of changes. Each deployment method may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Deploy a custom fix for an independent software vendor (ISV) solution.
Binary package
Deploy Dynamics 365 updates that were downloaded from Lifecycle Services (LCS).
Binary package
Explanation: In a self-service Dynamics 365 Finance environment, ISV fixes are delivered without source code and are deployed as binary packages. Microsoft application/platform updates downloaded from LCS are also installed as binary packages in production. All-in-one and standard deployable packages are used for customer source code deployments, not ISV or LCS updates.
Question 84
A company that has multiple manufacturing facilities plans to implement Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The company’s current processes are manual and primarily managed on paper.
The company is concerned about a big bang approach to implementation and instead wants a staggered approach to rollout. The company wants to ensure that the first manufacturing facility to go live will be successful and serve as a model to its other manufacturing facilities.
You need to identify Microsoft guidance on a phased rollout approach and any available Success by Design templates to support the effort.
Which tool should you use for the guidance?
A. GitHub Repository
B. Lifecycle Services
C. Business Process Modeler
D. Azure DevOps
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Lifecycle Services (LCS) provides Microsoft’s official guidance for Dynamics 365 implementations, including phased rollout strategies and Success by Design methodology. It contains templates, best practices, and tools specifically intended to support staggered go-live approaches and help ensure an initial site can serve as a model for subsequent rollouts.

Margie’s Travel company (http://www.margiestravel.com/) provides travel services to consumers. These services include package offers, special deals, and excursion add-ons such as jet ski and horseback rides in Jamaica. Margie’s Travel negotiates rates with multiple vendors and secures bundled pricing for consumers, serving as a travel broker. Margie’s Travel only sells services and does not have any tangible products or merchandise.
Margie’s Travel began in 1994 when Margie, CEO, and president, planned group trips for her friends in the United States (US). As this grew organically, Margie’s created a second company based in Jamaica, followed by the acquisition of a third company in the United Kingdom (UK). The company has grown fast challenging the current systems that support the business model. Margie has determined it is time to implement Dynamics 365 Finance.
Current environment
-
Application and environment
-
The current system has the following structure:
• In the US, employees use SoftwareA, accounting software, which is a desktop installation package for small businesses and single users.
• In the UK, employees use SoftwareB, ERP (enterprise resource planning) software installed on local servers. The cost of maintaining SoftwareB licensing is high, and Margie’s Travel has decided against the software and associated overhead costs.
• In Jamaica, employees use SoftwareC, a homegrown application based on spreadsheets. Local sales representatives use pen and paper in the field.
• Margie’s Travel employees use personal email addresses and chat tools and text each other directly due to the lack of corporate tools.
• IT department resources are located in the US and are responsible for management of all software support.
• Margie’s Travel company does not have standardized processes across the organization.
• Each country’s manager is responsible for system downtime. This has proven to be a challenge due to the multiple time zones across the organization and the centralized IT department.
Vendors and purchasing
-
As customers purchase packages, Margie’s Travel can claim rebates with the providing vendor for every package sold. The rebates are claimed quarterly, and internal workflows have been established for approval prior to vendor submission. The workflows for package offerings eligible for rebates can be complex. User2 has created Visio diagrams for the associated approval processes.
Customer relations
-
• Customers exist in all three current countries/regions where Margie’s Travel operates.
• Margie’s Travel offers consumers a loyalty program. Consumers can earn points per dollar spent across all in countries in which Margie’s operates. The loyalty program is currently managed by using a spreadsheet.
Requirements
-
Applications and environment
-
• All three countries must use Dynamics 365 Finance.
• The system must allow for updates to be applied at the same time as they are periodically released.
• Margie’s Travel requires that the new business processes be standardized and follow industry best practices.
• Margie’s Travel requires implementation of Office 365 and Microsoft Teams to streamline their operations. The IT department will be responsible for troubleshooting these applications, along with Dynamics 365 Finance.
• The infrastructure team must ensure that separate environments are created for development and build, prior to moving to test and eventually gold environments.
• The infrastructure team must move the code for the loyalty program to test environment.
• The CTO has directed the infrastructure team to guarantee they are on the most current version available at the time of go-live.
• The go-live activities must be coordinated across all countries, with data validation planned for each time zone.
• Once user acceptance testing (UAT) has been completed, the project manager must report the number of tenants for production to Microsoft.
• A report must show seasonality and weather patterns so that Margie’s Travel does not offer excursions during timeframes where severe weather is predicted.
• Sales representatives in the field will only be licensed for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Power Platform.
Vendor negotiations
-
• Rebates must be consolidated at the vendor level.
• A single claim must be sent to the vendor on a monthly basis for all sales.
Customer relations
-
• Customers must be identified with the same customer ID across all companies and systems, and automatically update cross-references as new records are created.
• Margie’s Travel wants to enable customer self-service in the future for customers based in the US and UK. This feature is not planned for the initial system rollout; however, the CIO has asked that the roadmap be created for Dynamics 365 Customer Service and Dynamics 365 Commerce applications in the future. In addition, the CIO wants to ensure that the old customer numbers can be matched to a new standardized format.
• New customers in Jamaica must be reviewed and approved due to frequent customer data discrepancies. The sales representatives in the field will enter information that must be routed to validate against existing data.
Issues
-
Applications and environment
-
• The IT department needs help troubleshooting post go-live with the least costly solution.
• The CTO has learned that there are updates to globalization features in Dynamics 365 Finance. The IT staff has been tasked with ensuring that they are the first group to receive these updates.
• The company is unable to consolidate financials with the existing systems.
• The current chart of accounts (COA) does not match between the companies. The chart of accounts must have accounts manually mapped monthly because no controls can be enabled through multiple systems.
• The CEO is considering the acquisition of additional companies in the same countries as the current companies. The consolidation structure may change within the first 90 days of go-live. Margie’s does not want to finalize the consolidation structure for a hard-close at month’s end until this has been finalized.
• Due to resource constraints, the IT department only has the capacity to apply service updates to all countries at once, not as individual tasks.
• The IT department has limited knowledge of Microsoft 365, Microsoft Teams, and Dynamics 365 Finance. The IT department will be unable to support the applications. The CTO must determine the strategy for managing the support-related risk.
• The IT department has decided not to code for globalization issues because they are in an upcoming service update. They are closing in on go-live and need to make sure that the updates are applied in time.
• A mock cutover was conducted. It was unsuccessful due to lack of coordination across the countries. The lack of success created timing issues with data uploads from centralized IT and validation at the country level. User1 must use a standard template to prevent the mock cutover issue happening at go-live.
Vendor negotiations
-
• The rebates cannot be claimed because disparate systems today do not allow for consolidation to ensure that thresholds are met to claim rebates.
• The accounts receivable and accounts payable departments are unclear about the workflows associated with the rebate process. User2 must ensure that representatives from each department validate that they have tested their respective steps in the overall process. Testing feedback must be communicated to User2.
Customer relations
-
• Customers are frustrated because while there is an expectation of white-glove service, customer number and other lookup information is not available in all countries. A customer travelling from the US to the UK must provide multiple pieces of information for them to be re-entered into the country-specific software system. The CIO knows this problem will become worse in the future with the addition of applications to the roadmap.
• Customer service is unable to access all customer order history because it exists across three different systems. Local installations of software prevent lookups in each system and require a single dashboard to display the information.
• A hurricane has been predicted for an upcoming tropical destination. Customers who are impacted by the hurricane either want a refund or want to rebook for another date. A customer does not know their customer number, but provides their name, address, and phone number.
• Margie’s Travel learns that the loyalty program across multiple countries is not a standard industry process and is not a standard feature in Dynamics 365 Finance.
• The project manager does not have a process list to use as a baseline for the project.
• Customers who sign up for add-on Jamaica excursions bring friends who have not signed up ahead of time. The sales representatives record the customer information on paper, take payment, and then enter the information into the system later. The information is frequently inaccurate and creates discrepancies.
You need to recommend a solution to meet Margie’s consolidation requirements.
What should you recommend? To answer, drag the appropriate solutions to the correct requirements. Each solution may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

Overview -
CoHo Vineyard and Winery is based in the United States. The company has a single vineyard. The company distributes full pallets of wine worldwide and sometimes sells wine by using a private label. Grape growing and wine production operations are owned and operated by a third-party company. The company uses bottles, accessories, and other disposables from a company in China.
CoHo Vineyard and Winery opens a second location. This location manages inventory for Wine Club members and includes a wine tasting room. The location also includes a warehouse and distribution center.
The wine club currently has 200 members. The company hopes to increase this number.
The company holds events for club members in the tasting room and ships both full cases and individual bottles to members. The tasting room is not treated as a retail store. All sales to club members only and purchases must be made on-account.

Coho Vineyard and Winery currently uses manual processes for most of its operations. The company stores names and phone numbers for club members and prospective club members in a Microsoft Excel workbook. The sales team currently tracks club membership in a separate system. Sales team stock awards are granted on a three-year basis. The solution for the sales team cannot be replaced for three years.
• The types of wine, such as cabernet sauvignon and red blends are tracked as separate items. Each item will have a year associated with it, such as Red Blend 2017, 2018, 2019, etc. The items are updated for the year association annually.
• Peak times for order entry could be in the hundreds. This typically happens when first and second shift workers overlap and all users are on the system, as well as orders imported in.
• Packaging materials, bottles, and accessories are received in the warehouse FOB Destination from the manufacturer in China.
• Each retailer has individual item numbers, barcode placement, descriptions and other additions such as pictures and details of the wine year and flavor notes.

You need to recommend a solution to send notifications to club members and non-members.
What should you recommend?
A. Use Dynamics 365 Commerce.
B. Use Microsoft Outlook to send emails.
C. Implement alerts.
D. Use Power BI to generate reports.
E. Implement Dynamics 365 Customer Service SMS integration.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: E
Explanation: The requirement is to send text (SMS) notifications to both club members and non-members and to use out-of-the-box, integrated capabilities. Dynamics 365 Customer Service with SMS integration supports external SMS messaging, customer/contact management, and integration with Dynamics 365 Finance. Other options either focus on retail, email, internal alerts, or reporting and do not meet the SMS requirement.

Current environment -
Coho Vineyard and Winery currently uses manual processes for most of its operations. The company stores names and phone numbers for club members and prospective club members in a Microsoft Excel workbook. The sales team currently tracks club membership in a separate system. Sales team stock awards are granted on a three-year basis. The solution for the sales team cannot be replaced for three years.
• The types of wine, such as cabernet sauvignon and red blends are tracked as separate items. Each item will have a year associated with it, such as Red Blend 2017, 2018, 2019, etc. The items are updated for the year association annually.
• Peak times for order entry could be in the hundreds. This typically happens when first and second shift workers overlap and all users are on the system, as well as orders imported in.
• Packaging materials, bottles, and accessories are received in the warehouse FOB Destination from the manufacturer in China.
• Each retailer has individual item numbers, barcode placement, descriptions and other additions such as pictures and details of the wine year and flavor notes.
CoHo Vineyard and Winery has outgrown their legacy ERP system and plans to implement Dynamics 365 Finance. CoHo wants to use out-of-the-box tools which are linked to the system where possible and not create new tools.

You need to ensure that the customer records remain synchronized in both systems.
What should you recommend?
A. Write a Power BI report.
B. Integrate the third-party application into Dynamics 365 Finance.
C. Replace the sales system with Dynamics 365 Sales.
D. Use Microsoft Power Automate
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The requirement is to keep customer records synchronized between an existing third‑party sales/membership system that cannot be replaced and Dynamics 365 Finance. This calls for a system‑to‑system integration that maintains a single customer identity and avoids duplicate records. Writing reports does not synchronize data, replacing the sales system is explicitly not allowed, and Power Automate alone is not sufficient or guaranteed for robust master data synchronization. Integrating the third‑party application with Dynamics 365 Finance best meets the requirement using supported integration patterns.

You need to recommend a site and warehouse configuration.
What should you recommend? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Warehouse type:
One basic warehouse, one advanced warehouse
Financial tracking:
Item
Explanation: The distribution center requires mobile scanning and full WMS, so it uses an advanced warehouse, while the tasting room does not, so a basic warehouse is sufficient. Inventory costs must be compared year‑to‑year by wine (vintage), which is achieved by tracking financials at the item level rather than by warehouse or location.
