MB-910 Describe Dynamics 365 Sales Practice Question
A company uses Dynamics 365 Sales and wants to automatically calculate the probability of closing a deal based on the sales stage. What feature should they configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse the predictive scoring model (which uses AI to score leads/opportunities) with the simple stage-based probability calculation, leading them to select Option C instead of recognizing that the business process flow is the correct, straightforward configuration.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Define probability values for each sales stage in the business process flow.
In Dynamics 365 Sales, the probability of closing a deal is automatically calculated based on the sales stage when you define probability values for each stage in the business process flow. This is a native, out-of-the-box feature that links the stage progression directly to a percentage value, ensuring the probability field updates automatically as the opportunity moves through the pipeline. No custom workflows or additional configurations are required for this core functionality.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Define probability values for each sales stage in the business process flow.
Why this is correct
Probability is automatically set when the sales rep moves to a new stage.
- ✗
Create a custom field for probability and use a workflow to update it.
Why it's wrong here
Creating a custom field and workflow would require manual maintenance and lacks the native integration with sales stage progression that Dynamics 365 Sales’ built-in predictive scoring provides. This option is tempting because custom fields and workflows are a flexible way to automate many business processes, and they would be correct if the company needed to set a fixed probability value based on a specific trigger unrelated to the sales stage.
- ✗
Use the predictive scoring model to calculate probability.
Why it's wrong here
Predictive scoring is different and uses machine learning, not stage-based.
- ✗
Enable the 'Auto-update Probability' setting in the opportunity entity.
Why it's wrong here
This setting does not exist; probability is tied to the sales stage.
