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

A service company uses Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations and wants to track project costs against budgets in real-time. They need to automatically prevent further spending when a project exceeds its budget. Which feature should they configure?

⚠ Common exam trap

Candidates often confuse Project accounting with budget control, assuming that project cost tracking inherently includes spending enforcement, when in fact budget control is a separate, configurable feature that must be explicitly enabled and linked to project budgets.

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

Correct answer & explanation

Budget control

Budget control in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations is the correct feature because it enables real-time tracking of project costs against budgets and can automatically prevent further spending when a budget threshold is exceeded. It enforces budget limits by checking available budget balances before transactions are posted, and can block or warn users when a project's budget is exhausted. This directly meets the requirement to stop spending automatically when a project exceeds its budget.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Expense management

    Why it's wrong here

    Expense management processes employee expenses, not project budget control.

  • Project accounting

    Why it's wrong here

    Project accounting tracks costs but does not enforce budget limits automatically.

  • Fixed asset management

    Why it's wrong here

    Fixed asset management handles asset lifecycle, not project budgets.

  • Budget control

    Why this is correct

    Budget control enforces spending limits and can block transactions exceeding budget.
