Correct answer & explanation
✓
Budget control
Budget control is the feature in Dynamics 365 Finance that tracks commitments (such as purchase orders) and actual expenditures against the budget. Option B is correct. Option A is incorrect because a recurring journal is used for recurring transactions, not for tracking budget commitments. Option C is incorrect because transaction posting definitions define posting rules but are not related to budget tracking. Option D is incorrect because encumbrance accounting is a part of budget control that specifically tracks commitments; however, the general feature that encompasses this tracking is budget control.
