This MB-920 practice question tests your understanding of describe dynamics 365 human resources. 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.
Which THREE components must be configured to enable a complete compensation management process in Dynamics 365 Human Resources?
Position types
Why wrong: Position types categorize positions, not directly used in compensation plans.
Work calendars
Why wrong: Work calendars are for absence and attendance, not compensation.
Compensation levels
Compensation levels group jobs with similar pay ranges.
Compensation grids
Compensation grids define pay ranges and rates.
Eligibility rules
Eligibility rules determine which employees are eligible for a compensation plan.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Compensation levels
Compensation levels (C) are a core component because they define the pay ranges (e.g., minimum, midpoint, maximum) associated with job grades or positions, which are essential for structuring compensation plans. In Dynamics 365 Human Resources, compensation levels are used within compensation grids to map pay rates to specific jobs or positions, enabling a complete compensation management process.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
The trap here is that candidates often confuse optional HR configuration items (like position types or work calendars) with the mandatory components required specifically for compensation management, leading them to select irrelevant options.
Detailed technical explanation
Compensation grids (D) are the actual tables that map compensation levels to jobs or positions, allowing for fixed or variable pay assignments. Eligibility rules (E) determine which employees qualify for specific compensation plans based on criteria like employment type or department, ensuring only appropriate employees receive the defined pay structures. Together, compensation levels, grids, and eligibility rules form the three mandatory pillars for a complete compensation management setup in Dynamics 365 Human Resources.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
