10 questions covering this official MB-800 domain.
Q01 - Question
General Ledger Setup restricts posting to the current month for everyone in the company. During the year-end close, only the controller must be able to post entries dated in the previous month, while all other users remain restricted. What should you configure?
Domain: Set up Business Central Type: Single choice
- A. Widen the Allow Posting From date in General Ledger Setup to include the previous month.
- B. Clear the Allow Posting From and Allow Posting To fields in General Ledger Setup.
- C. Enter Allow Posting From and Allow Posting To dates for the controller on the User Setup page.
- D. Reopen the previous accounting period on the Accounting Periods page.
C is correct.
Explanation: Allow Posting From and Allow Posting To dates on the User Setup page apply to an individual user and take precedence over the company-wide values in General Ledger Setup, so only the controller gains the wider posting window.
A is incorrect: Values in General Ledger Setup apply to all users who have no User Setup dates, so every user could post in the previous month.
B is incorrect: Clearing both fields removes the date restriction for all users instead of granting an exception to one user.
D is incorrect: Accounting period settings define the fiscal calendar and the closed status of a year. They are not used to grant one user a different posting date range.
Q02 - Question
A finance manager wants a Power BI report that reads live customer ledger data from Dynamics 365 Business Central. As the administrator, you must make the required Business Central data available to Power BI. What should you do first in Business Central?
Domain: Set up Business Central Type: Single choice
- A. Export the list to a CSV file and store it in a shared folder for Power BI to read.
- B. Register the page or query on the Web Services page, select Publish, and use the generated OData V4 URL.
- C. Add the list page as a Cue on the user's Role Center.
- D. Create a report layout for the page and schedule it in the job queue.
B is correct.
Explanation: Publish the page or query as a web service on the Web Services page. Publishing generates the OData V4 URL that Power BI uses to read the data from Business Central.
A is incorrect: A CSV file is a static extract in a folder, so it does not give Power BI a connection to current Business Central data.
C is incorrect: A Cue displays a count or indicator on a Role Center inside Business Central, and it does not expose data outside the client.
D is incorrect: A report layout controls how a Business Central report is printed or previewed, and it does not create an endpoint that Power BI can query.
Q03 - Question
Sales users want a Power BI report to appear next to the Customers list in Business Central and show details for the customer that is selected in the list. Which requirement must you meet so that the report can be selected and filtered in the Power BI part on the list page?
Domain: Set up Business Central Type: Single choice
- A. The report must be available in Power BI to the signed-in user and include the list field that Business Central uses to filter the report.
- B. The report must be saved as a PDF file and attached to each customer card.
- C. The report must be imported into the Business Central tenant as an extension.
- D. The report must be printed from Power BI and stored in the Business Central document library.
A is correct.
Explanation: The Power BI part on a list page lists the reports that the signed-in user can access in Power BI. To filter the report by the selected record, the report must contain the field that Business Central uses for the filter, such as the customer number.
B is incorrect: A PDF attachment is a static copy, so it cannot respond to the record that is selected in the list.
C is incorrect: Power BI reports are published to Power BI, not installed into Business Central as an extension.
D is incorrect: Printing the report removes the interactive connection, so the part cannot display or filter the report.
Q04 - Question
A customer wants a report to run automatically every Monday morning instead of being started manually by an accountant. Which two configuration steps should you complete on the job queue entry? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Domain: Set up Business Central Type: Multiple choice
- A. Assign the report to a financial report category before it can be scheduled.
- B. Specify the object type to run and the object ID to run on the job queue entry.
- C. Post a general journal batch immediately before each scheduled run.
- D. Set the recurrence details, such as the day of the week and the starting time, and set the job queue entry status to Ready.
B and D are correct.
Explanation: A job queue entry identifies what to run through the object type and object ID fields, and the recurrence fields with the Ready status control when the job queue picks the entry up and starts it.
A is incorrect: A report does not need a reporting category to be scheduled, because the job queue entry points to the object itself.
C is incorrect: Posting a journal is a separate accounting task and is not a requirement for scheduling a job queue entry.
Q05 - Question
A distributor stocks the same item at a main warehouse and at a regional warehouse. Each warehouse has a different lead time, reorder point, and replenishment vendor, but the item must keep one item number for sales and reporting. What should you configure in Dynamics 365 Business Central?
Domain: Set up Business Central Type: Single choice
- A. Create a separate item card for each warehouse and link them with item cross-references.
- B. Create a stockkeeping unit for the item at each location and enter the location-specific planning values on each stockkeeping unit.
- C. Create an item variant for each warehouse and enter the planning values on the variant.
- D. Assign each warehouse to a different item category and enter the planning values on the item category.
B is correct.
Explanation: A stockkeeping unit stores inventory and planning information for one item at a specific location, so you can set different lead times, reorder points, and replenishment details per location while keeping a single item number.
A is incorrect: Duplicate item cards create separate item numbers, which breaks the requirement to report on one item and forces you to maintain the same master data twice.
C is incorrect: Variants describe differences in the item itself, such as color or size, not the location where the item is stocked.
D is incorrect: Item categories group items for classification and do not hold location-specific planning values such as reorder point or lead time.
Q06 - Question
A company runs inventory at several warehouses. Users sometimes post sales and purchase lines without a location code, so inventory values cannot be analyzed per warehouse. Which setup change enforces the entry of a location code on item transactions?
Domain: Set up Business Central Type: Single choice
- A. Turn on the Location Mandatory field on the Inventory Setup page.
- B. Enter a default location code on each customer card and vendor card.
- C. Create a stockkeeping unit for every item at every location.
- D. Turn on directed put-away and pick on each location card.
A is correct.
Explanation: The Location Mandatory field on the Inventory Setup page requires a location code on item transactions, so users cannot post lines that leave the location blank.
B is incorrect: A default location code only proposes a value on new documents, and users can still clear the field before posting.
C is incorrect: Stockkeeping units store item information per location, but they do not force users to enter a location code on a document line.
D is incorrect: Directed put-away and pick controls warehouse handling inside a location and does not validate whether a location code is entered on item transactions.
Q07 - Question
A company sells clothing items that use variants for size and color. Order processors sometimes post lines without a variant code, which makes inventory per size inaccurate. You must make sure that a variant code is entered when variants exist for an item. Which two configuration options can you use? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
Domain: Set up Business Central Type: Multiple choice
- A. Turn on the Location Mandatory field on the Inventory Setup page.
- B. Set the Variant Mandatory if Exists field on the Inventory Setup page to apply as the company-wide default.
- C. Create a stockkeeping unit for each variant of the item at each location.
- D. Set the Variant Mandatory if Exists field on the item card for the items that require a variant code.
B and D are correct.
Explanation: You can require variant entry at the company level with the Variant Mandatory if Exists field on the Inventory Setup page, and you can set the same field on an individual item card when only specific items must be controlled. In both cases, the requirement applies when variants exist for the item.
A is incorrect: Location Mandatory validates the location code on item transactions and has no effect on whether a variant code is entered.
C is incorrect: Stockkeeping units store item information per location and variant, but creating them does not stop users from posting a line without a variant code.
Q08 - Question
An accountant already uses a fixed asset class for tangible assets. Management now wants separate reporting for office equipment and production machinery within that same class. What should the accountant configure in Dynamics 365 Business Central?
Domain: Set up Business Central Type: Single choice
- A. Two fixed asset classes, one for office equipment and one for production machinery.
- B. Two fixed asset locations, one for office equipment and one for production machinery.
- C. A new company for each type of asset.
- D. Two fixed asset subclasses that are linked to the existing tangible fixed asset class.
D is correct.
Explanation: Subclasses provide the detailed level of grouping inside a class. Create a subclass for office equipment and another for production machinery, and link both to the existing tangible class so that the assets stay in one class but report separately.
A is incorrect: Adding classes changes the top-level structure and splits assets that management wants to keep inside the tangible class.
B is incorrect: Locations record where an asset is placed, so they do not describe the type of asset for accounting reporting.
C is incorrect: Creating companies separates all data, which is not required to group assets inside one legal entity.
Q09 - Question
A company stores fixed assets in three buildings and must be able to report which assets are placed in each building during the annual asset count. Which setup task in Dynamics 365 Business Central meets this requirement?
Domain: Set up Business Central Type: Single choice
- A. Create a fixed asset location for each building and assign the location on the fixed asset cards.
- B. Create a fixed asset class for each building and assign the class on the fixed asset cards.
- C. Create a fixed asset subclass for each building and leave the class field blank.
- D. Create a separate fixed asset card for each building and link the assets to it.
A is correct.
Explanation: Fixed asset locations identify where an asset is physically placed. Set up a location code for each building, then assign the location on each fixed asset card so that you can filter and report assets by building.
B is incorrect: Classes group assets by asset type for accounting purposes, so using them for buildings loses the accounting grouping.
C is incorrect: Subclasses are the detailed level under a class and are not intended to store the physical placement of an asset.
D is incorrect: A fixed asset card represents one asset, so a card cannot act as a container for the assets stored in a building.
Q10 - Question
You are creating a new fixed asset subclass on the FA Subclasses page in Dynamics 365 Business Central. Which two entries complete the new subclass record? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Domain: Set up Business Central Type: Multiple choice
- A. Enter a code and description that identify the subclass.
- B. Post a depreciation entry for the subclass.
- C. Specify the fixed asset class that the subclass belongs to.
- D. Enter the acquisition cost that applies to the subclass.
A, C is correct.
Explanation: A subclass record needs a code and description so that users can select and recognize it, and it needs the fixed asset class that it belongs to so that the detailed group rolls up to the correct high-level group.
B is incorrect: Depreciation is posted for individual fixed assets, not as part of creating a grouping record.
D is incorrect: Acquisition cost belongs to an individual fixed asset, so it is not stored on the subclass.
