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.
Refer to the exhibit. A Dynamics 365 Finance administrator configures a financial dimension called 'Department' with the values shown. An accountant needs to post an expense to the Marketing department. Which dimension value should they use?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
200
The correct dimension value is 200 because the 'Department' financial dimension in Dynamics 365 Finance uses the dimension value code, not the display name or description. The accountant must select the value '200' to post an expense to the Marketing department, as '200' is the assigned code for Marketing in the exhibit.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often confuse the display name (Marketing) with the dimension value code (200), leading them to select a value based on the name rather than the assigned code in the exhibit.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
In Dynamics 365 Finance, financial dimensions are configured with a unique dimension value code (e.g., 200) that serves as the primary key in the database and is used in transactions, while the display name (e.g., Marketing) is for user readability. When posting an expense, the system requires the exact dimension value code to correctly allocate the transaction to the corresponding account structure. This ensures accurate financial reporting and prevents misposting in multi-company or complex organizational hierarchies.

Key takeaway
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 cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
