MB-310 Manage Fixed Assets Practice Question
A company is acquiring a fleet of vehicles and needs to track them as fixed assets. Which TWO setups must be completed in Dynamics 365 Finance to ensure these assets are fully operational and depreciable?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often select general ledger account setups instead of configuring fixed asset groups and depreciation books, confusing standard financial dimensions with core fixed asset management prerequisites.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure Fixed Asset Groups
To manage fixed assets, you must define the Asset Group to categorize assets and apply default behaviors like depreciation profiles, and you must associate the asset with a Value Model or Depreciation Book to define the financial tracking and depreciation logic. These steps are fundamental to fixed asset lifecycle management, ensuring that acquisition, depreciation, and disposal processes execute correctly according to corporate accounting standards and financial reporting requirements.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure Fixed Asset Groups
Why this is correct
Fixed asset groups are essential for grouping assets with similar characteristics. They control mandatory parameters, such as the depreciation profile, depreciation convention, and ledger accounts, which are necessary for automating the financial processing of assets within the subledger and the general ledger.
- ✓
Assign a Depreciation Book
Why this is correct
A depreciation book or value model is required to track the financial lifecycle of the asset. It defines the rules for how an asset is depreciated, the periods it covers, and whether the depreciation entries should post to the general ledger, making it mandatory for operational tracking.
- ✗
Enable Asset Leasing
Why it's wrong here
Asset leasing is a separate module used for managing Right-of-Use assets under IFRS 16 or ASC 842 standards. It is not a prerequisite for standard owned fixed asset management, as owned assets are managed through the Fixed Assets module and do not require lease-specific accounting configurations.
- ✗
Create a Vendor Group
Why it's wrong here
While vendors are used to purchase assets, a specific vendor group is not a prerequisite for setting up fixed assets in the system. The fixed asset setup is independent of the procurement source, focusing instead on the asset classification and the financial valuation rules applied to the asset.
- ✗
Define a Project Category
Why it's wrong here
Project categories are used in the Project Management and Accounting module to track expenses and revenue. They are not required for standard fixed asset management unless the asset is being constructed through a project, which is a specific scenario and not a general requirement for standard fleet acquisition.
