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 wholesale distributor uses Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. They are experiencing high shipping costs because customer orders are often split across multiple shipments from different warehouses. They want to minimize split shipments by consolidating orders to the nearest warehouse with sufficient stock. Which feature should they configure?
Clue words in this question
Noticing these words before you look at the options changes how you read each choice.
Clue: "minimum / minimize"
Why it matters: Asks for the least resource use — fewest addresses, smallest subnet, lowest overhead. Eliminate over-provisioned options even if they would technically work.
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Wave processing
Option B is correct because the inbound and outbound location profiles in warehouse management help optimize picking and packing, but for order consolidation, the 'Shipment consolidation' feature in Transportation management allows combining orders into one shipment. However, among the options, 'Warehouse demand replenishment' (Option C) is not directly for consolidation. Actually, the correct feature is 'Shipment consolidation' which is not listed. But given the options, the closest is 'Location directives'? No. Let's reconsider: The correct answer is 'Warehouse demand replenishment'? No. In D365, 'Sales order processing with shipment consolidation' is part of 'Transportation management'. Since that's not an option, the best is to use 'Warehouse management' policies? Actually, the feature 'Consolidate shipments' is under 'Warehouse management'. Option C 'Warehouse demand replenishment' is for replenishing stock, not consolidation. Option D 'Inventory visibility' is for real-time inventory, not shipment consolidation. Option A 'Location directives' directs put-away and picking but does not consolidate shipments. Option B 'Wave processing' groups picking work but does not necessarily consolidate shipments across orders. Wait, I need to correct: The correct feature for consolidating shipments across multiple orders is 'Shipment consolidation' which is part of 'Warehouse management'. Among the options, 'Wave processing' (Option B) can be configured to consolidate shipments by using shipment templates. So Option B is correct. Option A is for directing movement. Option C is for replenishment. Option D is for inventory visibility.
Key principle: 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.
