MB-310 Practice Question: Implement Accounts Receivable, Credit, Collections, and Subscription Billing
A company uses Dynamics 365 Finance. You need to set up a customer payment proposal that includes only invoices with a due date on or before a specified date, and you want to automatically write off any cash discount that is not taken. Which configuration should you use?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse the Take cash discount option, which applies discounts, with the Write off cash discount option, which writes off discounts that are not taken.

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 proposal with the Due date criteria and set the Post date and the Write off cash discount option on the payment proposal.
Payment proposals allow filtering by due date and include a Write off cash discount option. When enabled, any cash discount not taken is written off during payment posting. This is the correct configuration to include invoices due on or before a date and automatically write off unclaimed discounts.
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 payment proposal with the Due date criteria and configure the Accounts payable parameters to write off cash discounts for all payments.
Why it's wrong here
The write-off of cash discounts is controlled on the payment proposal itself, not in Accounts payable parameters. Configuring a global parameter would affect all payments and is not the correct place. This approach would not provide the per-proposal control needed and could have unintended consequences for other payment runs.
- ✓
Create a payment proposal with the Due date criteria and set the Post date and the Write off cash discount option on the payment proposal.
Why this is correct
Payment proposals can filter invoices by due date. Enabling the Write off cash discount option causes any cash discount that is not taken to be written off automatically when the payment is posted. This matches the requirement to include invoices due on or before a date and write off unclaimed discounts.
- ✗
Create a payment proposal with the Due date criteria and set the Cash discount date criteria to include only invoices past the discount date.
Why it's wrong here
Filtering by cash discount date would exclude invoices that are still within the discount period, but it does not write off the discount. The requirement is to write off the discount, not to filter by it. This configuration would not produce the automatic write-off and could incorrectly exclude invoices that should be paid.
- ✗
Create a payment proposal with the Due date criteria and enable the Take cash discount option on the payment proposal.
Why it's wrong here
The Take cash discount option applies the cash discount when the payment is made within the discount period. It does not write off a discount that is not taken. The requirement is to write off unclaimed discounts, which is a different setting. This option would apply discounts, not write them off, and would not meet the scenario.
