MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps
A manufacturing company uses Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations to manage its production processes. They need to track the consumption of raw materials and labor during the production run. Which module should they use to capture this data in real time?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse the real-time data capture capability of Production control with the analytical or transactional nature of Cost accounting or Inventory management, assuming those modules also handle shop-floor labor tracking.
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
✓
Production control
Production control is the correct module because it is specifically designed to manage and execute production orders, including real-time registration of raw material consumption (via pick lists or reporting as finished) and labor hours (via route card or job card entries). This data is captured directly against the production order, enabling accurate tracking of actual costs during the production run.
