MB-910 Describe Dynamics 365 Sales Practice Question
A sales manager notices that the opportunity pipeline report shows incorrect forecasting amounts. The sales team uses custom revenue fields instead of the standard 'Est. Revenue' field. What should the administrator configure to ensure accurate forecasting?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often assume making a custom field visible on the form (Option A) is sufficient for it to be included in system calculations, but Dynamics 365 requires explicit mapping in the forecast configuration to override the default revenue field.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Map the custom field to the forecast category in the forecasting configuration
The forecasting engine in Dynamics 365 Sales relies on the 'Est. Revenue' field by default. When a sales team uses custom revenue fields, those fields are not automatically included in forecast calculations. Mapping the custom field to the forecast category in the forecasting configuration explicitly tells the system to use that field's value for revenue aggregation, ensuring accurate pipeline amounts.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable the custom field in the opportunity form
Why it's wrong here
Custom fields need to be mapped in forecasting configuration, not just enabled on forms.
- ✓
Map the custom field to the forecast category in the forecasting configuration
Why this is correct
Mapping the custom field to the forecast category ensures it is used in pipeline calculations.
- ✗
Add the custom field to the lead entity
Why it's wrong here
Forecasting is based on opportunities, not leads.
- ✗
Configure sales acceleration rules to include the custom field
Why it's wrong here
Sales acceleration deals with lead assignment, not revenue mapping for forecasting.
