MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps

A company uses Dynamics 365 Finance. The accounting team needs to create a financial report that shows actual vs. budgeted expenses by department. Which THREE components must be configured?

⚠ Common exam trap

Many exam-takers confuse the chart of accounts as a required component, but it is a prerequisite structure already configured, not a component that must be specifically set up for this report; the key missing piece is the budget model, which holds the budget data.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Financial dimension sets

Financial dimension sets (A) are required because they define the combination of dimensions (e.g., Department, Cost Center) used to segment actual and budget data in reports. Main accounts (B) are the core accounts from the chart of accounts that capture the expense values. A budget model (C) is necessary because it holds the budget amounts for each account and dimension combination, enabling the actual vs. budget comparison.
