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

A retail company uses Dynamics 365 Commerce. They notice that the online store is not syncing inventory levels correctly from the warehouse management system. Which component should they troubleshoot first?

⚠ Common exam trap

Candidates often confuse CDX with the Retail Cloud Scale Unit (RCSU), thinking RCSU handles all data movement, when in fact RCSU is for real-time operations and CDX is the dedicated sync engine for offline-capable data like inventory.

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

Commerce Data Exchange (CDX)

Commerce Data Exchange (CDX) is the component responsible for synchronizing data between Dynamics 365 Commerce and the warehouse management system. Since inventory levels are not syncing correctly, CDX is the first component to troubleshoot because it handles the data transfer and transformation processes that keep inventory records consistent across channels.
