MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps
You are the Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations administrator for a medium-sized manufacturing company. The company has two legal entities: a US entity (USMF) and a Canadian entity (CAN). The finance team in the US wants to view the Canadian entity's purchase order data in real-time from within the USMF environment. They do not want to log into a separate instance. The company has a single Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations environment with both legal entities configured. You need to configure the system to allow users in USMF to access purchase order data from CAN without duplicating data. The solution must maintain security so that only authorized users can view Canadian data. What should you do?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse cross-company data sharing with organizational hierarchies or data integration, mistakenly thinking that an organizational hierarchy alone provides data access or that external data sync is required for cross-entity visibility.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure Cross-company data sharing for purchase orders and assign appropriate security roles.
Cross-company data sharing allows real-time access to purchase order data from the CAN legal entity within the USMF environment without duplicating data. By configuring data sharing policies for the purchase order tables and assigning appropriate security roles, you ensure that only authorized users in USMF can view the Canadian data while maintaining data integrity and security.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use Data entities to export purchase order data from CAN and import it into USMF on a scheduled basis.
Why it's wrong here
This is batch-based, not real-time, and duplicates data.
- ✗
Set up Data integration to sync purchase order data to Dataverse and then access it from USMF.
Why it's wrong here
This introduces Dataverse and is not real-time direct access.
- ✓
Configure Cross-company data sharing for purchase orders and assign appropriate security roles.
Why this is correct
Cross-company data sharing provides real-time access with security.
- ✗
Create an Organizational hierarchy to allow USMF users to view CAN data automatically.
Why it's wrong here
Organizational hierarchies do not grant data access.
