MB-310 Manage Budgeting Practice Question
A company uses budget planning in Dynamics 365 Finance. The budget planning process includes multiple stages with workflows. The finance team wants to ensure that when a budget plan is rejected at any stage, it is returned to the originator for revision, and that the originator can resubmit it without creating a new budget plan. Which configuration should you implement?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that any rejection automatically returns the plan to the originator; in fact, the workflow rejection action must be explicitly configured to do so.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure the budget planning workflow to have a rejection action that returns the budget plan to the originator.
To return a rejected budget plan to the originator, the budget planning workflow must be configured with a rejection action that routes the plan back to the originator. This allows the originator to edit and resubmit the same budget plan, preserving the plan's history and data. The stage rules must also permit editing at the origination stage. This is the standard configuration for iterative budget planning.
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 the budget planning workflow to have a rejection action that returns the budget plan to the previous stage.
Why it's wrong here
Returning the budget plan to the previous stage would allow the previous approver to revise it, not the originator. The requirement is to return it to the originator for revision. The rejection action should send it back to the originator, not to the previous stage. This configuration would not meet the requirement.
- ✗
Create a new budget planning stage specifically for rejected budget plans.
Why it's wrong here
Creating a new stage for rejected budget plans would complicate the process and not automatically return the plan to the originator. The originator would still need to be notified and given access to the plan. This approach adds unnecessary complexity and does not directly satisfy the requirement to return the plan to the originator for revision.
- ✓
Configure the budget planning workflow to have a rejection action that returns the budget plan to the originator.
Why this is correct
The budget planning workflow can be configured with a rejection action that sends the budget plan back to the originator. This allows the originator to revise and resubmit the same budget plan. The workflow must be set up with the appropriate rejection outcome, and the stage rules must allow editing at the origination stage. This meets the requirement without creating a new budget plan.
- ✗
Set the budget planning stage rule to allow editing of the budget plan after rejection.
Why it's wrong here
Allowing editing after rejection is necessary but not sufficient. The budget plan must also be routed back to the originator. The stage rule controls whether editing is allowed, but it does not determine the routing of the rejected budget plan. Without proper workflow configuration, the plan might remain with the approver.
