MB-920 Practice Question: An ERP consultant for Contoso Ltd., a…
You are an ERP consultant for Contoso Ltd., a manufacturing company that recently deployed Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain Management. The company has two legal entities: USMF (US operations) and EURF (European operations). They use a shared chart of accounts and shared products. The finance team reports that when they post a purchase invoice in USMF, the general ledger entries appear correctly, but when they view the trial balance in EURF, they see unexpected balances in accounts that should not have any activity. The EURF trial balance shows transactions from USMF postings. However, the EURF team has not posted any transactions. The shared chart of accounts is correctly configured. The intercompany accounting setup is not enabled. What is the most likely cause of this issue?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse a shared chart of accounts with automatic data segregation, not realizing that legal entity dimension assignments are required to prevent cross-entity posting visibility.
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 main accounts in the shared chart of accounts are missing the legal entity financial dimension assignment
The shared chart of accounts allows multiple legal entities to use the same set of main accounts, but each legal entity must have its own legal entity financial dimension assignment to segregate transactions. Without this assignment, postings in USMF are not filtered by legal entity, causing them to appear in EURF's trial balance. Since intercompany accounting is not enabled, the issue is not related to intercompany or consolidation, but rather to missing dimension filtering.
