MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps
This MB-920 practice question tests your understanding of describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A company uses Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. They need to ensure that only authorized users can approve purchase orders above $10,000. Which TWO features should they configure?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Purchase order workflow
Option A is correct because purchase order workflows in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations allow you to define conditional approval rules, such as requiring additional approvers when the order total exceeds $10,000. This ensures that only authorized users can approve high-value purchase orders by routing them through a predefined approval process.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

✗
User roles
Why it's wrong here
User roles define permissions, but not conditional approval amounts.
✗
Electronic signatures
Why it's wrong here
Electronic signatures can be used for approval but are not specifically for amount limits.
✗
Segregation of duties
Why it's wrong here
Segregation of duties helps prevent fraud but not specific approval limits.
✓
Approval limits
Why this is correct
Approval limits define the maximum amount a user can approve.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often confuse 'approval limits' (a user-level setting) with 'workflow conditions' (a process-level setting), but both are required to enforce the $10,000 threshold—workflow for routing logic and approval limits to restrict individual authority.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Purchase order workflows in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations are built on the Workflow framework, which supports conditional decisions based on data fields like the purchase order total. You can configure a workflow step to route approval to a specific user group or role only when the amount exceeds a threshold, and you can also set up escalation rules if approval is not completed in time. This is distinct from approval limits, which are typically set on user records to cap the maximum amount a user can approve without additional authorization.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
