MB-800 Exam Dumps - Microsoft Certified: Dynamics 365 Business Central Functional Consultant Associate Questions and Answers

The requirement is to resolve the order entry issue:

“Customers often reorder the same items with similar quantities. The system must be configured to ask the user if recurring lines should be added to sales orders.”

Business Central has Standard (Recurring) Sales Lines functionality to address this.

Configure standard sales lines → Add items and quantities

Standard sales lines define templates of frequently ordered items and their quantities.

When configuring these, you specify which items and quantities belong to the recurring order.

This resolves the need to avoid retyping common order combinations.

Add recurring sales lines to customers → Set insert on orders to Always Ask

On the Customer Card, you assign the standard sales lines and configure how they should be inserted when creating sales orders.

The setting Always Ask prompts the user each time an order is created for that customer, allowing them to choose whether to insert the recurring sales lines.

This satisfies the requirement to “ask the user if recurring lines should be added.”

Why not other options?

Add valid from and to dates – Useful for time-limited campaigns, but not mentioned in the requirement.

Set insert on quotes to Automatic – Applies to sales quotes, not orders. The requirement specifically concerns sales orders.

The correct solution to meet the company's order processing requirements involves two key components: the type of workflow to be created and the engine that will power it.

A. Create a purchase order approval workflow: This is a core component of most order processing systems. A purchase order approval workflow automates the process of submitting purchase orders for approval, sending notifications to the appropriate approvers, and ensuring that all orders comply with company policies. This is a common requirement to control spending and maintain an audit trail.

D. Use Power Automate as the engine for the workflow: Power Automate (formerly Microsoft Flow) is a powerful, cloud-based service that allows you to create automated workflows and connect various applications and services. It is the modern and highly versatile solution for creating complex and customized workflows that go beyond the basic capabilities of many built-in systems, including those in Business Central. While Business Central has a native workflow engine (as mentioned in option C), Power Automate is the recommended solution for more robust and integrated order processing workflows, especially when they need to interact with multiple systems or require advanced logic.

Comprehensive Detailed Explanation

In Business Central, financial reporting is built from several components:

Row definition

Used to define which accounts or statistical accounts appear as rows in the financial report.

Since Headcount and Square Footage are statistical accounts (non-financial data tracked for reporting), they must be added via Row definition.

G/L account categories

Used to structure the income statement and balance sheet into financial categories such as Income, COGS, Assets, Liabilities.

The requirement states: “The financial report structure must map to account categories.”

Therefore, Income, Retail must be configured using G/L account categories.

Financial Report page

Used to assemble and present the report, combining row definitions, column definitions, and filters.

Accounts Receivables, Wholesale is a financial reporting output that must be displayed using the Financial Report page where the actual data is gathered.

Why not Column definition?

Column definitions control time periods (month, quarter, year, variance, etc.) but are not needed for these particular requirements.

Comprehensive Detailed Explanation

The requirement: “You need to train users on how to process a special order for an established customer.”

From the case study:

“Special orders from new customers have a 25% prepayment. Established customers have only a 15% prepayment.”

Prepayments must be invoiced before the final invoice is posted.

Step-by-step process in Business Central:

Create a sales order

The user begins by creating a sales order for the special order.

Enter 15% in the Prepayment % field

Since this is for an established customer, the prepayment percentage is 15%.

The Prepayment % field on the sales order line or header controls how much must be prepaid before the order can be processed.

Enter the code for due on receipt in the prepayment payment terms code

Prepayments are typically due immediately. The code for “due on receipt” ensures that the prepayment invoice requires immediate payment.

Post and print the prepayment invoice

This generates the prepayment invoice for the customer and ensures that prepayment is received before delivery.

Why not “Enter the code for net 30 in the prepayment payment terms code”?

That applies to wholesale customer regular payment terms, not to prepayments. Prepayments are due immediately.

Why not 25%?

25% prepayment applies to new customers. For established customers, the requirement specifies 15%.

The requirement is to match each integration requirement with the correct Microsoft integration solution in Business Central.

Customer email collaboration → Business Central Outlook add-inThe Business Central Outlook add-in allows users to create sales documents such as quotes, orders, or invoices directly from Outlook emails. This supports the requirement to create sales orders while collaborating with customers by email.

Sales team collaboration → Business Central app for TeamsThe Business Central app for Teams enables users to view, share, and even edit Business Central data such as customer records while working inside Microsoft Teams chat or channels. This aligns with the requirement to edit customer information while collaborating with the sales team in a group chat.

Customer notifications for sales campaign → Power AutomatePower Automate is designed for automating workflows such as sending notifications, approval requests, or bulk communications. To notify all customers at once about a sales campaign, Power Automate can integrate Business Central data with email or marketing tools.

Why not Word template?

Word templates are mainly used for document formatting and mail merges but do not handle automated notifications at scale. For distributing campaign notifications to multiple customers, Power Automate is the correct tool.

The requirement is:

“When viewing G/L entries, the finance and accounting teams must be able to see debits and credits instead of a positive or negative amount.”

In Business Central, the General Ledger Entries page can display amounts in two different ways:

Amount (positive/negative): This is the default display of entry amounts as signed numbers.

Debit Amount / Credit Amount (separate fields): This allows accounting teams to clearly see whether an entry is a debit or a credit, consistent with traditional accounting presentation.

The configuration option "Debit/Credit" is specifically provided to control this display. By enabling this setting, amounts are shown in two columns (Debit Amount and Credit Amount) instead of one column with positive/negative signs.

Why not the other options?

B. Show Amounts – This relates to toggling whether amounts are displayed on certain ledger pages but does not change the format to Debit/Credit.

C. Check G/L Account Usage – This is a validation function for checking how accounts are used, not related to entry display format.

D. G/L Account Card – Used to configure properties of individual G/L accounts (posting type, direct posting, account category), not the general display mode for entries.

Therefore, the correct configuration to meet the requirement is Debit/Credit.

General Ledger Overview in Business Central – details on how entries are posted and viewed.

The AR users reported an issue about reconciling AR subledger to the G/L. In Business Central, subledger control accounts (like Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable) must not be posted to directly; they should only be posted through transactions (invoices, payments).

If Direct Posting = Yes, users can post directly into AR or AP control accounts, which causes reconciliation issues.

To prevent this, you set Direct Posting = No on the G/L Account Card for control accounts.

Why not others:

A. Switch Blocked on the Customer Card → Blocks transactions but does not solve reconciliation issues.

B. Switch Direct Posting on the G/L Account Card to Yes → Makes the issue worse.

C. Switch Blocked on the G/L Account Card to Yes → Prevents all postings, even system ones, which is incorrect.

Correct answer: D. Switch Direct Posting on the G/L Account Card to No

The case study specifies that:

Salespeople manage opportunities/quotes and release orders to the warehouse.

Warehouse staff fulfill orders and complete shipments.

Office/accounting staff are responsible for invoicing (separation of duties).

Therefore, the correct sequence for processing sales orders is:

Add External Document No. to Sales Order

An office employee enters this reference (often the customer’s PO number) before processing.

This step ensures traceability for auditors and aligns with required documentation.

Warehouse employee performs Post and Ship

The warehouse is responsible for picking, packing, and shipping items.

They must post the shipment in Business Central, creating a posted shipment record.

The warehouse does not invoice, since invoicing is the responsibility of the office.

Office employee performs Post and Invoice only

After confirmation that the order shipped, the office staff posts the invoice.

This matches the new division of duties and provides the financial document to the customer.

Why not the other options?

Warehouse performs Post, Ship, and Invoice: Incorrect because invoicing is not the warehouse’s responsibility.

Warehouse performs Post and Invoice only: Wrong, warehouse does not invoice.

Office employee performs Post, Ship, and Invoice: Wrong, because shipping is handled by warehouse.

Warehouse employee changes Posting Date: Not a standard requirement for fulfilling orders in this case.

Based on the image, the correct sequence of actions to configure a purchase order process is:

Add a vendor

Add a Purchaser Code

Add Items, including Quantity, to the lines

Change the Purchase Order to a Status of Released

This sequence follows the logical flow of creating and finalizing a purchase order for an audit trail:

Add a vendor: A purchase order must be linked to a specific supplier (vendor).

Add a Purchaser Code: This identifies who is creating the order, which is crucial for accountability and audit purposes.

Add Items, including Quantity, to the lines: You must specify what is being purchased and in what quantity.

Change the Purchase Order to a Status of Released: Releasing the purchase order locks it from further changes and makes it ready for processing, fulfilling the auditor's requirement for a finalized, traceable document.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Set up inventory periods: Before performing any inventory costing adjustments, you must first define the period for which the adjustments will be made. This step is a prerequisite for most inventory management tasks, ensuring that the work is contained within a specific timeframe.

Run the Adjust Cost – Item Entries batch job: This is the core action for adjusting inventory costs. This batch job automatically recalculates and updates the costs of all inventory items to reflect the most current and accurate valuation. It's a critical step for systems that use costing methods like average cost or FIFO, which might require periodic re-evaluation.

Run Post Inventory Cost to G/L: Once the inventory item costs have been adjusted, the next logical step is to post these updated values to the general ledger (G/L). This action synchronizes the inventory sub-ledger with the financial records, ensuring that the company's financial statements accurately reflect the true value of its inventory.

Close the inventory period: After all adjustments are made and costs are posted to the G/L, you must close the inventory period. Closing the period prevents any new entries or changes from affecting the adjusted costs, thereby maintaining the integrity of the financial data and satisfying audit and compliance requirements.
