MB-310 Practice Question: Implement and Manage Accounts Payable and Expenses
A company uses Dynamics 365 Finance to process vendor payments. The treasury team wants to generate a payment proposal for a specific vendor group that includes only invoices due in the next 14 days, and they want to exclude any invoices that are on hold. After the proposal is generated, they need to review and remove selected invoices before posting. What should they do?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is thinking that the Settle transactions form or a payment schedule can generate a filtered payment proposal, when only the Vendor payment proposal function inside a payment journal performs that filtering and creates editable lines.

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
✓
Create a payment journal, use the Vendor payment proposal function with a due date filter and a vendor group filter, then manually delete unwanted lines before posting.
The Vendor payment proposal function inside a payment journal is designed exactly for this scenario. It accepts filters such as vendor group and due date, automatically excludes invoices that are on hold, and produces editable journal lines. Because the lines are editable before posting, the team can review the proposal and remove specific invoices, which satisfies both the filtering and the manual review 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.
- ✗
Use the Settle transactions form on the vendor record to mark invoices for payment, then post a payment journal without a proposal.
Why it's wrong here
The Settle transactions form is used to link payments to invoices after a payment exists; it does not generate proposed payment lines based on due date or vendor group. Marking invoices there does not exclude on-hold invoices automatically and does not support reviewing and deleting proposed lines before posting.
- ✗
Run the Vendor aging report filtered by due date, then create a manual payment journal and enter each invoice line by hand.
Why it's wrong here
The aging report only displays outstanding balances by aging bucket; it does not create payment lines or apply payment logic. Re-entering invoices manually is error-prone and does not automatically exclude invoices on hold or respect the 14-day due date filter, so it fails to meet the automation and filtering needs described.
- ✓
Create a payment journal, use the Vendor payment proposal function with a due date filter and a vendor group filter, then manually delete unwanted lines before posting.
Why this is correct
The Vendor payment proposal function in a payment journal lets users filter by vendor group and due date, and it automatically proposes invoices that meet the criteria. Invoices on hold are excluded by the proposal logic. After generation, the proposed lines can be manually reviewed and deleted, which matches the requirement to remove selected invoices before posting.
- ✗
Configure a payment schedule on the vendor record and let the system post payments automatically when invoices become due.
Why it's wrong here
Payment schedules define installment terms for invoices; they do not generate a proposal or filter by vendor group and due date. Automatic posting from a schedule would not give the treasury team a review step to delete selected invoices, and it would not inherently exclude on-hold invoices from the proposal.
