MB-910 Describe Dynamics 365 Field Service — Timed 100 Questions

Question 1

A field service manager receives reports that technicians are not completing work orders on time. The manager notices that some work orders are scheduled for a technician who is on vacation. Which feature should the manager use to prevent this issue?

Accepted Answer

Configure Resource Scheduling Optimization to automatically assign work orders.. Option B is correct because Resource Scheduling Optimization (RSO) in Dynamics 365 Field Service can automatically assign work orders based on technician availability, skills, and location. By configuring RSO to respect technician schedules (including vacation time), the system prevents assigning work orders to unavailable technicians, directly addressing the manager's issue.

Answer

Use the Field Service mobile app to view technician availability.

Answer

Use the schedule board to manually assign work orders.

Answer

Adjust scheduling parameters to require manager approval for all assignments.

Question 2

A company uses Dynamics 365 Field Service and wants to ensure that when a customer reports an issue, the system automatically creates a work order with the correct service account and bill-to account. The customer is under a parent account with multiple service locations. What should the administrator configure?

Accepted Answer

Set the service account and bill-to account on the work order from the incident.. Option B is correct because when a customer reports an issue, the incident record can be configured to automatically populate the service account and bill-to account on the work order. This ensures that the work order is created with the correct accounts, even when the customer is under a parent account with multiple service locations, by using the incident's account relationship to derive the service and billing information.

Answer

Use the account field on the incident to automatically populate the service account.

Answer

Set the tax code on the incident to determine billing.

Answer

Configure the work order type to specify default accounts.

Question 5

A technician cannot see the work orders assigned to them in the Field Service mobile app. The work orders appear in the schedule board. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The work orders are in 'Scheduled' status and need to be set to 'In Progress'.. In Dynamics 365 Field Service, work orders must be in 'In Progress' status to appear in the technician's mobile app work order list. The 'Scheduled' status is used for planning and dispatching on the schedule board, but the mobile app filters out scheduled work orders until the technician manually changes the status to 'In Progress' to begin work. This ensures that only active assignments are visible to the field technician.

Answer

The technician does not have the correct security role for the mobile app.

Answer

The work orders are not yet published via the background process.

Answer

The mobile app is not configured for offline use.

Question 6

A company wants to offer customers the ability to schedule their own appointments online. Which Dynamics 365 Field Service feature should they use?

Answer

Change the work order type to a different category.

Answer

Create a new resource record with the required skill.

Question 14

Woodland Services is a field service company that provides HVAC maintenance. They use Dynamics 365 Field Service. Their dispatchers use the schedule board to assign work orders manually. Recently, they have experienced an increase in customer complaints about missed appointments. Upon investigation, they find that some work orders are not being assigned to technicians because the dispatchers are overwhelmed. The company wants to automate the scheduling process to ensure all work orders are assigned promptly. Additionally, they need to consider that some work orders require specific certifications (e.g., handling refrigerants). The company has 10 technicians, each with different skills and territories. Which solution should the company implement?

Accepted Answer

Configure Resource Scheduling Optimization to automatically assign work orders based on skills and location.. Option A is correct because Resource Scheduling Optimization (RSO) in Dynamics 365 Field Service can automatically assign work orders to technicians based on predefined rules, including skill requirements (e.g., refrigerant certification) and geographic proximity. This directly addresses the dispatcher overload and ensures all work orders are assigned promptly without manual intervention.

Answer

Enable the customer portal for customers to choose their preferred technician.

Question 15

GreenTech Solutions provides IT support and uses Dynamics 365 Field Service. They have a team of 5 technicians. Each technician has a van stocked with common parts. Recently, technicians have been reporting that they run out of essential parts like network cables and power supplies while on site, causing delays. The company wants to ensure that van inventory is replenished automatically based on usage. Additionally, they want to track which parts are used on each work order for billing. The company currently uses work order products to record parts used, but there is no integration with inventory. Which feature should GreenTech implement to address these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Implement inventory journals to record parts usage and trigger replenishment.. Inventory journals in Dynamics 365 Field Service allow technicians to record parts usage directly from van stock, which automatically reduces on-hand quantities and can trigger replenishment workflows. This meets both requirements: tracking parts per work order for billing and enabling automatic restocking based on usage thresholds.

Set up inventory transfers between warehouses and vans.

Answer

Use customer assets to track parts installed at customer sites.

Answer

Configure purchase orders to automatically order parts when stock is low.

Question 16

A field service organization wants to automatically schedule work orders based on technician skills, location, and availability. Which Dynamics 365 Field Service feature should they use?

Accepted Answer

Resource Scheduling Optimization. Resource Scheduling Optimization (RSO) is the correct feature because it uses AI and constraint-based logic to automatically schedule work orders by evaluating technician skills, location, and availability. Unlike manual scheduling tools, RSO optimizes assignments in real time based on predefined objectives like travel time or priority.

Question 17

A technician reports that a work order shows incorrect inventory quantities when they try to record parts used. The inventory in the warehouse was recently updated. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The work order warehouse is set to a different location than the actual warehouse. When inventory quantities appear incorrect on a work order, the most likely cause is that the work order warehouse is set to a different location than the actual warehouse where the inventory was updated. In Dynamics 365 Field Service, each work order is associated with a specific warehouse (service location), and inventory adjustments or updates are applied to the warehouse record. If the work order references a different warehouse, the system will show the inventory quantities for that incorrect warehouse, not the recently updated one.

Answer

The product price list is outdated

Answer

The customer's billing address is wrong

Answer

The work order type is incorrect

Question 18

A company deploys Dynamics 365 Field Service and wants to ensure technicians can access work orders and customer asset history offline on their mobile devices while in remote areas. Which approach should they use?

Accepted Answer

Use the Field Service Mobile app with offline synchronization. The Field Service Mobile app with offline synchronization is the correct approach because it is specifically designed to allow technicians to download work orders, customer asset history, and other relevant data to their mobile devices. This enables full functionality—including viewing, updating, and capturing signatures—without requiring a continuous internet connection, with changes automatically syncing when connectivity is restored.
