Domain overview
This domain covers the Accounts Payable and Expenses configuration and processing in Dynamics 365 Finance: vendor master setup, invoice journals, payment proposals, payment runs, and expense management. Questions test where specific settings live, which prerequisites gate a process, and how currency and posting profiles drive correct ledger and payment behavior.
Exam objectives
Vendor master setup including currency, payment terms, method of payment, and posting profile defaults
Vendor invoice journal entry, invoice register, and approval journal posting behavior
Payment proposal prerequisites and generation of vendor payment runs
Expense management setup, categories, policies, and expense report posting
Confusing vendor currency with the legal entity accounting currency; the vendor currency drives transaction and exchange rate selection, not the ledger currency.
Assuming payment proposal runs without parameters; it requires a payment proposal and payment method or vendor filter criteria configured first.
Treating the vendor invoice journal as a payment tool; it records invoices to the ledger and does not itself issue payments.

17A vendor invoice for 1,200 EUR is posted on March 15 with an exchange rate to USD of 1.10, resulting in a payable of 1,320 USD. The invoice remains unpaid at the end of the month.

28A company uses invoice matching on purchase orders. A vendor invoice for a purchase order has a quantity of 100 units at $10 each, but the product receipt shows 95 units received.

When the payment is made, the exchange rate has changed, resulting in a realized gain or loss. You need to ensure that the realized gain or loss is automatically posted to the correct ledger account. What should you configure?
34A manufacturing company uses purchase orders with three-way matching in Dynamics 365 Finance. A vendor invoice for 1,200 units arrives, but the related product receipt covers only 1,000 units. The matching policy is configured with a quantity tolerance of 0 percent. The accounts payable clerk tries to post the invoice and receives a matching discrepancy.

The expense management administrator needs to ensure that employees can select the customer and project on expense lines when the expense is billable. What should the administrator configure?
38An accounts payable manager needs to pay several outstanding invoices from the same vendor in a single bank transfer instead of issuing a separate payment for each invoice.

45A vendor invoice is entered with a total of $10,000. The vendor offers a cash discount of 1% if paid within 10 days. The invoice is paid on day 8. The payment journal is created without manually adjusting the amount. What will be the result when the payment is posted?
