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

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.

{
  "BatchJob": {
    "JobId": "BJ-001",
    "Status": "Executing",
    "StartDateTime": "2025-12-01T08:00:00Z",
    "Recurrence": {
      "Type": "Recurring",
      "Interval": "Days",
      "Frequency": 1
    }
  }
}

Refer to the exhibit. A Dynamics 365 Finance batch job configuration is shown. The job started on December 1, 2025 at 08:00 UTC and is recurring daily. It is currently December 2, 2025 at 10:00 UTC and the job status is 'Executing'. What does this indicate?

⚠ Common exam trap

Many candidates assume 'Executing' always means a new instance has started, but in Dynamics 365 Finance, a recurring batch job that is still running will not launch the next scheduled instance until the current one completes, so the same 'Executing' status can persist across multiple recurrence intervals.

Answer choices

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

✓

The job from December 1 is still running, exceeding the recurrence interval.

The batch job started on December 1 at 08:00 UTC with a daily recurrence, and as of December 2 at 10:00 UTC (26 hours later), its status is still 'Executing'. This means the first instance never completed, so the recurrence interval (24 hours) has been exceeded, and the system will not start a new instance until the current one finishes. In Dynamics 365 Finance, a batch job with a recurrence interval shorter than its actual runtime will remain in 'Executing' status and block subsequent scheduled runs.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

✗
The job has encountered an error and is retrying.
Why it's wrong here
Status 'Executing' does not indicate an error.
✗
The job is scheduled for weekly recurrence, not daily.
Why it's wrong here
The recurrence interval is 'Days' with frequency 1, meaning daily.
✓
The job from December 1 is still running, exceeding the recurrence interval.
Why this is correct
The job started on Dec 1 and is still executing on Dec 2, indicating it's overdue.
✗
The job completed successfully on December 1 and is now running the December 2 instance.
Why it's wrong here
If it completed, status would be 'Ended', not 'Executing'.
