MB-310 Manage Budgeting Practice Question
A multinational company is implementing budget control in Dynamics 365 Finance. The company wants to ensure that budget checks are performed for purchase requisitions and purchase orders, and that over-budget transactions are prevented from posting. The company also wants to allow certain users to override budget check failures. Which two configurations are required to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that enabling budget control for source documents automatically grants override permissions; in fact, override rights are separate and require user group membership.

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 and select the source documents 'Purchase requisition' and 'Purchase order'.
To perform budget checks on purchase requisitions and purchase orders, you must enable budget control for the legal entity and select those source documents in the budget control configuration. To allow specific users to override budget check failures, you must create a budget control user group and assign those users to it. These two configurations together meet the stated 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.
- ✓
Enable budget control for the legal entity and select the source documents 'Purchase requisition' and 'Purchase order'.
Why this is correct
Enabling budget control for the legal entity and selecting the relevant source documents is essential. This configuration tells the system to perform budget checks when those documents are submitted. Without selecting these source documents, budget control would not be triggered for purchase requisitions and purchase orders, and over-budget transactions might post without check.
- ✗
Set up budget control to use a budget model that contains the current budget balances.
Why it's wrong here
Using a budget model with current budget balances is necessary for budget checks to be meaningful, but it is not one of the two configurations specifically required to allow overrides. The budget model selection is part of the general budget control setup and does not grant override permissions. The override capability is controlled by user group membership.
- ✓
Create a budget control user group and assign the users who are allowed to override budget check failures.
Why this is correct
Budget control user groups determine which users have the authority to override budget check failures. By creating a user group and adding the appropriate users, you enable those users to approve over-budget transactions. This directly satisfies the requirement to allow certain users to override budget check failures. Without this configuration, no users would have override permissions.
- ✗
Configure budget control rules to include the main accounts used by purchase requisitions and purchase orders.
Why it's wrong here
While including the correct main accounts in budget control rules is necessary for budget checks to apply to those accounts, it is not one of the two configurations specifically required to allow users to override budget check failures. The requirement for overrides is handled by user group configuration. This option addresses the scope of budget control, not the override capability.
- ✗
Configure the budget control parameters to allow overrides for all users by default.
Why it's wrong here
There is no parameter that allows overrides for all users by default. Override permissions are granted through budget control user groups. This option is incorrect because it misrepresents the configuration options. The requirement is to allow only certain users to override, which is achieved by assigning them to a user group, not by a global parameter.
