Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance Functional Consultant MB-310 Practice Test 31
Question 300
In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, an account structure admits only two dimensions but a special project expense needs an additional funding-source dimension. Which configuration or processing change best resolves the issue?
- Configure and execute the appropriate consolidation and intercompany elimination process.
- Enable and map the proper payable transactions in cash-flow forecast setup and automation.
- Ensure budget control references the correct budget model and posted budget register entries.
- Create an advanced rule for the qualifying account range and require the funding source there.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:The relevant Microsoft MB-310 skill group is 'Design and configure the chart of accounts and financial dimensions'. The control or accounting problem is: An account structure admits only two dimensions but a special project expense needs an additional funding-source dimension. The corrective choice Create an advanced rule for the qualifying account range and require the funding source there. addresses this exact failure rather than an unrelated process. Confirm it through: The special project account validates with funding source while unrelated accounts retain their existing structure.
Incorrect Answers
A:This choice belongs to a different Dynamics 365 Finance problem: A group consolidation includes intercompany receivables twice because the elimination journals were never generated. It does not address the defining failure in this scenario: An account structure admits only two dimensions but a special project expense needs an additional funding-source dimension. Here the targeted correction is Create an advanced rule for the qualifying account range and require the funding source there.
B:This choice belongs to a different Dynamics 365 Finance problem: A cash flow forecast ignores scheduled vendor payments because the forecast setup excludes the accounts-payable source.

Here the targeted correction is Create an advanced rule for the qualifying account range and require the funding source there.
C:This choice belongs to a different Dynamics 365 Finance problem: An allocation of funding is posted but budget control does not recognize it because the entry is in an unrelated model. It does not address the defining failure in this scenario: An account structure admits only two dimensions but a special project expense needs an additional funding-source dimension. Here the targeted correction is Create an advanced rule for the qualifying account range and require the funding source there.

Question 302
A Dynamics 365 Finance case begins with this issue: The next fiscal year's budget is entered entirely as one annual amount although monthly controls depend on periodic values. After the targeted correction, which result best verifies the required outcome?
- Monthly budget reports display the intended phasing and annual amounts still reconcile.

- Allocated plan values reflect unit headcounts and reconcile to the source total.
- A report separates both invoice categories while balancing to their underlying subledger.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:This case starts with: The next fiscal year's budget is entered entirely as one annual amount although monthly controls depend on periodic values. Once the targeted action Allocate approved annual budget register entries across the correct fiscal periods. has been completed, the decisive acceptance evidence is Monthly budget reports display the intended phasing and annual amounts still reconcile. The verification tests the business/ledger result rather than trusting a successful workflow status alone.
Incorrect Answers
B:“The submitted plan follows the intended review chain for each department” verifies the separate Finance condition A planning process routes department proposals to the wrong approvers after the organization hierarchy changes.

- The sample vendor settlement shows a separate withholding payable in the proper account.
- The payment run excludes the disputed obligations and includes cleared approved invoices.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:This case starts with: A withholding settlement batch credits a general expense clearing account rather than the withholding liability. Once the targeted action Update the withholding tax posting setup and settlement authority accounts. has been completed, the decisive acceptance evidence is The sample vendor settlement shows a separate withholding payable in the proper account. The verification tests the business/ledger result rather than trusting a successful workflow status alone.
Incorrect Answers
A:“Both divisions report the shared account consistently in approved statements” verifies the separate Finance condition Two divisions want to reuse a main account for different reporting structures but no account-category governance exists. The present issue is A withholding settlement batch credits a general expense clearing account rather than the withholding liability; the necessary acceptance evidence is “The sample vendor settlement shows a separate withholding payable in the proper account”, not the alternate observation.
B:“The close workspace shows AP reconciliation outstanding until an authorized owner completes the evidence” verifies the separate Finance condition The finance close checklist marks a subsidiary finished even though its AP accrual reconciliation remains incomplete.

- A replayed invoice is rejected and the supplier ledger contains only the valid posted transaction.
- The three invoices show the approved settled amounts and no stray unmatched receipt.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:This case starts with: AP matching allows a duplicate invoice number for one supplier after a system import retry. Once the targeted action Configure duplicate invoice validation for the relevant vendor account and invoice scope. has been completed, the decisive acceptance evidence is A replayed invoice is rejected and the supplier ledger contains only the valid posted transaction. The verification tests the business/ledger result rather than trusting a successful workflow status alone.
Incorrect Answers
A:“The over-limit report is flagged for review and an in-policy report proceeds” verifies the separate Finance condition An expense report above the daily meal threshold is approved automatically without policy exception review. The present issue is AP matching allows a duplicate invoice number for one supplier after a system import retry; the necessary acceptance evidence is “A replayed invoice is rejected and the supplier ledger contains only the valid posted transaction”, not the alternate observation.
B:“The report categorizes hotel expenses correctly and applies lodging limits” verifies the separate Finance condition Employees submit hotel charges as meal expenses because the expense category configuration has no lodging policy.

Question 309
A Dynamics 365 Finance case begins with this issue: Two subsidiaries need different allowed cost centers for the same shared main account in their common chart of accounts. After the targeted correction, which result best verifies the required outcome?
- The consolidated ledger includes the subsidiary's approved trial balance exactly once.
- A posting test accepts each company's approved cost center set and rejects a cost center forbidden for that entity.
- The reviewed journal retains unique line identities and approved descriptions after refresh.
- A test acquisition posts to the appropriate asset control account.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:This case starts with: Two subsidiaries need different allowed cost centers for the same shared main account in their common chart of accounts. Once the targeted action Configure legal-entity-specific financial dimension overrides and validate the account combination in each ledger. has been completed, the decisive acceptance evidence is A posting test accepts each company's approved cost center set and rejects a cost center forbidden for that entity. The verification tests the business/ledger result rather than trusting a successful workflow status alone.
Incorrect Answers
A:“The consolidated ledger includes the subsidiary's approved trial balance exactly once” verifies the separate Finance condition Consolidation online runs but does not include a newly acquired legal entity because it is absent from the consolidation map. The present issue is Two subsidiaries need different allowed cost centers for the same shared main account in their common chart of accounts; the necessary acceptance evidence is “A posting test accepts each company's approved cost center set and rejects a cost center forbidden for that entity”, not the alternate observation.
