MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps
A retail company uses Dynamics 365 Commerce integrated with Finance and Operations. They want to ensure that inventory levels are updated in real-time when a sale is completed at the point of sale (POS). Which configuration should be enabled?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse the asynchronous service (Async Service) with real-time updates, but the Async Service is intended for offline resilience and eventual consistency, not for the immediate synchronization required at POS.
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
✓
Use the Retail Server and channel data distribution with real-time service
Dynamics 365 Commerce uses the Retail Server and channel data distribution framework with real-time service to synchronize inventory changes instantly from the POS to the Finance and Operations back office. This ensures that inventory levels are updated in real-time when a sale is completed, leveraging the Commerce Data Exchange (CDX) real-time service for immediate data flow.
