Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance Functional Consultant MB-310 Practice Test 5
Question 40
A Dynamics 365 Finance case begins with this issue: A period-close user changes the fiscal period status but a scheduled integration can still post an undesired backdated entry. After the targeted correction, which result best verifies the required outcome?
- The year-end close moves the designated P&L balances and retains balance-sheet continuity.
- A replayed backdated integration entry is blocked or routed into a controlled exception queue.
- A posted expense can be filtered reliably by the required dimension rather than parsed from narration.
- The capital budget inquiry includes the entry and the operating budget model remains unchanged.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:This case starts with: A period-close user changes the fiscal period status but a scheduled integration can still post an undesired backdated entry. Once the targeted action Coordinate fiscal period status with integration posting controls and exception handling. has been completed, the decisive acceptance evidence is A replayed backdated integration entry is blocked or routed into a controlled exception queue. The verification tests the business/ledger result rather than trusting a successful workflow status alone.
Incorrect Answers
A:“The year-end close moves the designated P&L balances and retains balance-sheet continuity” verifies the separate Finance condition An annual closing process transfers balances from nominal accounts to the wrong retained-earnings main account. The present issue is A period-close user changes the fiscal period status but a scheduled integration can still post an undesired backdated entry; the necessary acceptance evidence is “A replayed backdated integration entry is blocked or routed into a controlled exception queue”, not the alternate observation.
C:“A posted expense can be filtered reliably by the required dimension rather than parsed from narration” verifies the separate Finance condition An operations team uses a free-text ledger description to substitute for a required reporting dimension on all expense postings. The present issue is A period-close user changes the fiscal period status but a scheduled integration can still post an undesired backdated entry; the necessary acceptance evidence is “A replayed backdated integration entry is blocked or routed into a controlled exception queue”, not the alternate observation.
D:“The capital budget inquiry includes the entry and the operating budget model remains unchanged” verifies the separate Finance condition A budget register entry is posted to the company-wide model instead of an approved restricted capital model. The present issue is A period-close user changes the fiscal period status but a scheduled integration can still post an undesired backdated entry; the necessary acceptance evidence is “A replayed backdated integration entry is blocked or routed into a controlled exception queue”, not the alternate observation.
Question 41
In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, a department disposes of a partially depreciated asset but omits proceeds and reports the wrong disposal gain. Which configuration or processing change best resolves the issue?

Question 43
A Dynamics 365 Finance case begins with this issue: A cash forecast uses opening bank balances but omits purchase-order payment timing, overstating available liquidity. After the targeted correction, which result best verifies the required outcome?
- A sample invoice calculates the approved reduced rate and posts the expected liability.

Explanation
Correct Answer
D:This case starts with: The finance close checklist marks a subsidiary finished even though its AP accrual reconciliation remains incomplete. Once the targeted action Configure a financial-period closing schedule that includes the necessary subledger reconciliation tasks and owners. has been completed, the decisive acceptance evidence is The close workspace shows AP reconciliation outstanding until an authorized owner completes the evidence. The verification tests the business/ledger result rather than trusting a successful workflow status alone.
Incorrect Answers
