MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps
A company uses Dynamics 365 Finance and needs to comply with a new regulatory requirement to track fixed assets by location and custodian. They currently use the standard Fixed assets module. What is the best approach to meet this requirement?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse the Asset management module (which is for maintenance and service) with the Fixed assets module (which is for financial tracking), leading them to select Option A because they think 'tracking' implies physical asset management, but the requirement is specifically for regulatory compliance within the financial fixed asset context.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Add custom fields to the Fixed asset table to capture location and custodian
Dynamics 365 Finance allows extending standard entities like the Fixed asset table with custom fields to capture additional data such as location and custodian without modifying core logic. This approach leverages the platform's extensibility features (e.g., custom fields on the Fixed asset table) and ensures compliance with the new regulatory requirement while maintaining integration with existing fixed asset processes like depreciation and lifecycle management.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Implement the Asset management module for tracking
Why it's wrong here
Asset management is for maintenance, not financial tracking of fixed assets.
- ✓
Add custom fields to the Fixed asset table to capture location and custodian
Why this is correct
Custom fields provide a simple way to add required tracking without heavy customization.
- ✗
Use the Inventory management module to track assets as inventory items
Why it's wrong here
Inventory management is for consumable items, not fixed assets.
- ✗
Create a separate custom entity to store asset location and custodian
Why it's wrong here
A custom entity adds unnecessary complexity; custom fields on the existing table are sufficient.
