A company is implementing budget control in Dynamics 365 Finance. They need to ensure that budget checks are performed for purchase requisitions and purchase orders. Which two configurations are required? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap

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
✓
Enable budget control for the legal entity.
To have budget checks performed on purchase requisitions and purchase orders, you must enable budget control for the legal entity and define budget control rules that cover the relevant accounts and dimensions. These two steps activate the budget checking engine and specify the scope of transactions that will be validated against available budget.
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 budget model and assign it to the budget control configuration.
Why it's wrong here
While a budget model is used to hold budget amounts, simply creating and assigning it does not enable budget checks on transactions. Budget control must be enabled and rules defined. The budget model is a source of budget data, but it is not the configuration that triggers checks on purchase requisitions and purchase orders.
- ✓
Enable budget control for the legal entity.
Why this is correct
Budget control must be enabled at the legal entity level to activate the feature. Without enabling budget control for the legal entity, no budget checks will occur for any transactions, including purchase requisitions and purchase orders. This is a foundational step in the budget control configuration.
- ✓
Define budget control rules for the relevant accounts and dimensions.
Why this is correct
Budget control rules specify which accounts and dimensions are subject to budget checking. To enforce checks on purchase requisitions and purchase orders, you must create rules that include the accounts and dimensions used in those transactions. These rules determine the conditions under which budget checks are performed.
- ✗
Set up budget transfer rules.
Why it's wrong here
Budget transfer rules are used to control how budget transfers are performed, such as whether they require approval. They are not related to the budget checking of purchase requisitions or purchase orders. Enabling budget control and defining rules are the key configurations for transaction budget checks.
- ✗
Configure budget planning stages.
Why it's wrong here
Budget planning stages are part of the budget planning process, which is used to create and approve budget plans. They do not directly affect budget control checks on purchase requisitions or purchase orders. While budget planning feeds budget amounts, the stages themselves are not required to enable budget control for transactions.
