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 professional services firm uses Dynamics 365 Project Operations to manage projects. They bill clients based on time and materials. Currently, project managers manually adjust actuals to correct timesheet entries that were posted to the wrong project. This has led to billing errors. The firm wants to automate the correction process by allowing project managers to transfer time entries from one project to another without affecting the original timesheet. The transferred time should retain the original employee, hours, and rate. You need to configure the system to support this. What should you do?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use the 'Correct' action on the actuals to reverse and repost the time entry to the correct project.
Option B is correct because the 'Correct' action on actuals in Dynamics 365 Project Operations allows you to reverse the original time entry and repost it to the correct project while preserving the original employee, hours, and rate. This automates the correction process without affecting the original timesheet, preventing billing errors.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✗
Delete the incorrect time entry and create a new one on the correct project.
Why it's wrong here
Deleting loses the original record and may affect payroll.
✓
Use the 'Correct' action on the actuals to reverse and repost the time entry to the correct project.
Why this is correct
The correct action retains original details and creates an audit trail.

✗
Adjust the resource assignment on the correct project to reflect the hours.
Why it's wrong here
This does not correct historical actuals.
✗
Use the journal adjustment feature to move the cost and sales amount.
Why it's wrong here
Journal adjustments do not move the original time entry details.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates may confuse the 'Correct' action with manual deletion or journal adjustments, not realizing that only the 'Correct' action preserves the original timesheet and audit trail while transferring time entries.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
The 'Correct' action in Dynamics 365 Project Operations creates a reversal entry for the original actual and a new actual on the target project, ensuring the original timesheet remains unchanged for reporting and audit purposes. This leverages the system's dual-entry correction mechanism, which maintains the integrity of time entry records and prevents duplicate billing. In real-world scenarios, this is critical for firms with strict audit requirements, as it provides a clear correction trail without manual data manipulation.

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 startup's cloud architect reviews their monthly bill and notices costs are higher than expected for a long-running batch job. Switching from on-demand instances to Reserved Instances — or using Spot/Preemptible VMs — can reduce compute costs by up to 72 %. Questions like this test whether you understand the tradeoffs between commitment, flexibility, and cost across cloud pricing models.
