MB-310 Implement Financial Management Practice Question
A user needs to enter a vendor payment proposal that includes all invoices due within the next 30 days, but exclude any invoices that are on hold. Which payment proposal option should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is overlooking the explicit 'Invoices on hold' filter and assuming that a date range alone will exclude held invoices, when holds must be excluded separately.

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
✓
Set the 'From date' and 'To date' to cover the next 30 days and set 'Invoices on hold' to 'Exclude'.
The payment proposal form in Accounts payable allows filtering by date range and by whether invoices are on hold. To include only invoices due within 30 days and exclude those on hold, set the appropriate 'From date' and 'To date' and set the 'Invoices on hold' option to 'Exclude'. This directly fulfills the requirement without custom queries or broad status filters.
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 custom query on the Vendor transactions form to filter by due date and hold status, then run the payment proposal from that query.
Why it's wrong here
While a custom query could work, it is not the standard or most efficient method. The payment proposal form already provides built-in filters for date range and hold status. Using a custom query adds unnecessary complexity and is not the intended approach for this scenario.
- ✓
Set the 'From date' and 'To date' to cover the next 30 days and set 'Invoices on hold' to 'Exclude'.
Why this is correct
The payment proposal form includes date range filters and an option to include or exclude invoices on hold. Setting the date range to the next 30 days and excluding hold invoices precisely meets the requirement. This is the standard configuration for such a payment run.
- ✗
Set the 'Minimum payment date' to today and 'Maximum payment date' to 30 days from today, and leave the hold option at default.
Why it's wrong here
The default for invoices on hold may be to include them, depending on system settings. Without explicitly excluding hold invoices, the proposal might include them, violating the requirement. The date range is correct, but the hold exclusion is missing, making this option incomplete.
- ✗
Use the 'Payment status' filter and select 'Unpaid' only.
Why it's wrong here
Filtering by payment status 'Unpaid' would include all unpaid invoices regardless of due date, including those beyond 30 days and those on hold. It does not address the date range or the hold exclusion. This option is too broad and does not meet the specific criteria.
