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

A company uses Dynamics 365 Finance. They need to create a new fiscal year and close the previous year. Which module should they use?

⚠ Common exam trap

Many exam-takers confuse the General ledger module with other financial modules like Budgeting, thinking that fiscal year setup is a budgeting activity, when in fact it is a core General ledger configuration.

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

Correct answer & explanation

General ledger

The General ledger module is the correct choice because fiscal year creation and year-end closing are core General ledger processes. In Dynamics 365 Finance, the General ledger module contains the fiscal calendar setup and the year-end close process, which transfers balances from the closing fiscal year to the new fiscal year's opening balances.
