MB-310 Practice Question: Implement and Manage Accounts Payable and Expenses
A company is configuring expense management in Dynamics 365 Finance. Controllers want to ensure that expense reports submitted by employees are routed to the correct approver and that certain categories require a receipt. Which two configurations should the functional consultant set up? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that expense policies or default categories enforce receipts and approvals, when receipt enforcement lives on the expense category and approval routing lives in the expense report workflow.
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
✓
Set the Receipt required option on the relevant expense categories in the Expense management setup.
Approval routing is controlled by the expense report workflow, where approval elements can be conditioned on report total or cost center. Mandatory receipts are controlled per expense category through the Receipt required setting. Together these two configurations ensure reports reach the right approver and that receipts are enforced for the categories the controllers choose.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create a new expense policy that restricts the maximum amount per expense line to zero.
Why it's wrong here
An expense policy limits amounts or enforces rules, but setting a maximum of zero would block all expenses in that category rather than route reports or require receipts. It does not address approval routing and would prevent legitimate expenses, so it is not a valid configuration for this scenario.
- ✗
Configure per diem locations and assign them to the employees who travel.
Why it's wrong here
Per diem locations define daily allowance rates for meals and incidentals in specific cities. They calculate per diem amounts but do not affect approval routing or receipt requirements, so they are unrelated to the two needs described by the controllers.
- ✓
Set the Receipt required option on the relevant expense categories in the Expense management setup.
Why this is correct
Each expense category has a Receipt required setting that forces employees to attach a receipt before the line can be submitted or approved. Enabling it on the categories the controllers specify ensures that receipts are mandatory for those categories, fulfilling the second part of the requirement.
- ✗
Assign each employee a default expense category in the worker record.
Why it's wrong here
A default expense category pre-fills the category on new expense lines for convenience. It does not control approval routing or receipt requirements, so it does not help ensure reports reach the correct approver or that receipts are mandatory for specific categories.
- ✓
Configure an expense report workflow that includes approval elements based on the expense report total or the cost center.
Why this is correct
An expense report workflow controls who must approve a submitted report and in what order. By adding approval elements conditioned on the report total or the cost center, the system routes each report to the appropriate approver automatically. This directly satisfies the requirement that reports reach the correct approver.
