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

An organization uses Dynamics 365 Project Operations. A project manager needs to track the budget consumption and actual costs against the approved budget for a project. Which feature should they use?

⚠ Common exam trap

Test-takers frequently confuse expense management (which handles individual cost items) with the broader budget control feature, but the question specifically asks for tracking budget consumption and actual costs against the approved budget, which is the core purpose of project budget and cost control.
