MB-920 Describe Dynamics 365 Finance Practice Question
You are a Dynamics 365 Finance system administrator for a large manufacturing company. The company uses the 'Standard cost' inventory model and performs periodic inventory closing to recalculate standard costs. Recently, the finance team noticed that the inventory closing process is taking too long and sometimes fails, causing delays in month-end closing. They need to optimize the inventory closing process. The company has millions of inventory transactions per month. Requirements: 1) Reduce inventory closing processing time. 2) Ensure data integrity. 3) Use available Dynamics 365 Finance features. Which approach should you recommend?

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Switch to 'Moving average' inventory model to avoid closing.
Why it's wrong here
Changing model is a major change and may not be suitable.
- ✗
Archive old inventory transactions to reduce data volume.
Why it's wrong here
Archiving may remove data needed for closing.
- ✗
Run the 'Inventory recalculation' report instead of the closing process.
Why it's wrong here

- ✓
Enable 'Use inventory close parallel processing' and schedule the closing batch job during off-peak hours.
Why this is correct
Parallel processing speeds up closing, and off-peak scheduling reduces contention.
