When I was preparing for my certifications, I noticed a substantial gap between theoretical study guides and the actual complexity of the case studies and situational questions presented in the real Microsoft exam. I designed this practice test bank to bridge that exact gap.I want to give you a realistic, challenging exam-day experience so you can walk into your test center with complete confidence. This course focuses purely on high-fidelity practice questions modeled after the actual MB-310 exam structure. Rather than just giving you the answers, I break down the core mechanics of Dynamics 365 Finance—from ledger architecture and multi-currency compliance to intricate subscription billing rules and fixed asset lifecycle management.By analyzing why correct options work and why incorrect options fail, you will build the critical thinking skills required to parse tricky problem statements quickly. This approach saves you valuable time during the actual timed exam and ensures you pass on your first attempt.Practice Questions PreviewQuestion 1: Financial Management Ledger SetupA multinational enterprise is configuring a new legal entity in Dynamics 365 Finance. The entity operates in a hyperinflationary country and must report its financial statements to the parent corporate headquarters using the corporate currency, while managing daily transactions in the local statutory currency. Which configuration strategy must I implement in the Ledger setup to support this requirement?A) Configure the local currency as the Accounting currency and the corporate currency as the Reporting currency.B) Configure the corporate currency as both the Accounting currency and the Reporting currency.C) Configure the corporate currency as the Accounting currency and use an Exchange Rate Type to overwrite transaction entries.D) Configure a single Ledger with the corporate currency and utilize Financial Dimensions to track local currency shifts.E) Configure the local currency as both the Accounting currency and the Reporting currency, then use a consolidation company for all reporting.F) Configure a dual-ledger journal system utilizing separate posting layers (Current and Operations) for each currency.Correct Answer: ADetailed Explanations:A is Correct: Dynamics 365 Finance uses the Accounting currency to record the primary monetary values of the legal entity's operational transactions and the Reporting currency as a secondary currency for external reporting or parental consolidation. This matches the business requirement perfectly.B is Incorrect: Setting the corporate currency as both would mean your local operational day-to-day transaction records lack accurate local statutory accounting history, violating local compliance laws.C is Incorrect: Overwriting transaction entries via exchange rate types breaks historical ledger continuity and fails to isolate separate values for statutory audits.D is Incorrect: Financial Dimensions are used to track segments like cost centers or departments, not to handle base currency conversions or dual-currency balances on a single transaction layer.E is Incorrect: This strategy forces you to handle all currency conversions manually or run an unnecessary consolidation routine just to view basic financial statements in corporate currency, which defeats the purpose of the built-in Reporting currency feature.F is Incorrect: Posting layers (Current, Operations, Tax) are meant for varying accounting standards (e.g., US GAAP vs. IFRS) or tax adjustments, not for managing standard multi-currency reporting.Question 2: Accounts Payable Invoice MatchingAn Accounts Payable manager notices that multiple vendor invoices are being paid even though the quantities on the invoices are higher than what was actually received at the warehouse. I need to enforce a three-way matching policy across the organization to prevent these automated payment approvals. Which specific parameters and configurations must be put in place?A) Enable Invoice Matching validation in Accounts Payable parameters, set the matching policy to Three-way matching, and define the price and quantity tolerances.B) Set up a Vendor Posting Profile that links the items directly to the clearing account and check the "Close for receipt" toggle.C) Create an Accounts Payable workflow that routes all vendor invoices to the warehouse manager for manual signature validation.D) Set up an Item Allocation Key combined with a purchase order delivery schedule variance rule.E) Enable the "Positive Pay" service in Cash and Bank Management and link it to the vendor accounts.F) Configure a Vendor Exception Group inside the procurement category hierarchy with a price tolerance of zero percent.Correct Answer: ADetailed Explanations:A is Correct: Three-way matching requires the system to validate the price and quantity information across the Purchase Order, the Product Receipt, and the Vendor Invoice. Enabling Invoice Matching validation and setting the policy level ensures that variances stop the posting process automatically.B is Incorrect: Vendor Posting Profiles dictate how subledger transactions reconcile with the General Ledger main accounts; they do not control or calculate invoice matching variances.C is Incorrect: While a workflow can route documents, manual signature routing does not fix the underlying technical issue of automated system approvals or systematically calculate price/quantity variance tolerances.D is Incorrect: Item Allocation Keys are utilized to distribute budget allocations or split material demands, not to cross-reference receipt lines against supplier bills.E is Incorrect: Positive Pay is a security tool used to prevent check fraud by sending a verified list of issued checks to the bank; it has nothing to do with internal invoice matching.F is Incorrect: Procurement hierarchies and exception groups can isolate specific items, but setting a price tolerance of zero percent still fails to activate the necessary quantity checks that a true three-way matching policy enforces.Question 3: Fixed Assets Depreciation ConfigurationA manufacturing firm acquires a specialized piece of machinery that qualifies for a 150% declining balance depreciation profile. However, corporate accounting rules mandate that the system must automatically switch over to a straight-line depreciation method as soon as the straight-line calculation provides a higher depreciation amount than the declining balance calculation. How should I set this up in Dynamics 365 Finance?A) Create a Depreciation Profile with the method set to Declining Balance, and select the Straight Line method in the "Alternative method" field.B) Configure a Depreciation Profile using the "Straight line life remaining" method and set up a separate asset book for the declining balance adjustment.C) Set up a Manual Depreciation Profile and enter the specific calculated percentages for each fiscal interval year by year.D) Configure a Factor Depreciation Profile and link it to an asset budget model that tracks monthly production utilization metrics.E) Enable the "Compounding depreciation" toggle on a standard reducing balance profile and use an extraordinary depreciation book.F) Create an allocation journal that periodically transfers balances from the declining asset book over to a straight-line asset book.Correct Answer: ADetailed Explanations:A is Correct: The "Alternative method" field within a Declining Balance depreciation profile tells Dynamics 365 Finance to compute both depreciation paths during the periodic run and automatically transition to the alternative profile once its calculated value exceeds the declining balance value.B is Incorrect: Using two distinct books would double the values in your subledger and create duplicated depreciation entries instead of performing a seamless transition within a single asset's lifecycle.C is Incorrect: A manual profile requires constant administrative oversight and manual updates for every asset change, failing the requirement for the system to execute the switch automatically based on mathematical comparison.D is Incorrect: Factor depreciation calculates values based on progressive modifiers, and asset budget models are for financial forecasting, not live, rule-based depreciation crossovers.E is Incorrect: Compounding depreciation applies depreciation calculations to prior depreciation totals, which speeds up asset write-downs but does not switch the underlying mathematical method to straight-line.F is Incorrect: Transferring asset values between different books using periodic journals causes unnecessary reconciliation issues, corrupts historical data logs, and violates standard asset accounting rules.Welcome to the Mock Exam Practice Tests Academy to help you prepare for your Microsoft Certified: Dynamics 365 Finance Functional Consultant Associate Practice Tests.You can retake the exams as many times as you wantThis is a huge original question bankYou get support from instructors if you have questionsEach question has a detailed explanationMobile-compatible with the Udemy appI hope that by now you're convinced!
