MB-310 Manage Budgeting Practice Question
An organization using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance wants to ensure that when a purchase requisition is submitted, it is checked against the available budget before it can proceed to approval. They have already configured budget control and enabled it for the legal entity. What must be configured next to enforce this check specifically on purchase requisitions?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that enabling budget control for the legal entity or configuring parameters automatically applies the check to all documents; you must define specific budget control rules for each source document and expenditure type.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create a budget control rule that includes the Purchasing expenditure type and the appropriate budget dimensions.
To enforce budget check on purchase requisitions, a budget control rule must be created that includes the Purchasing expenditure type and the relevant dimensions. Budget control parameters and budget groups are supporting configurations, but the rule is what determines which documents are checked. Workflows are separate from budget control. Therefore, creating the appropriate budget control rule is the necessary next step.
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 control parameters to enable budget check for purchase requisitions.
Why it's wrong here
Budget control parameters define general settings such as whether budget control is enabled and which source documents are checked, but they do not specify the expenditure type or dimensions. Enabling purchase requisitions in parameters alone is insufficient; you must also define rules that include the Purchasing expenditure type. Parameters are a prerequisite, but they do not enforce the check on requisitions without corresponding rules.
- ✓
Create a budget control rule that includes the Purchasing expenditure type and the appropriate budget dimensions.
Why this is correct
Budget control rules define which source documents and dimensions are subject to budget checking. To enforce budget check on purchase requisitions, a rule must include the Purchasing expenditure type and the relevant dimensions. This rule links the requisition to budget balances, ensuring the check occurs during submission. Without a rule covering purchase requisitions, budget control would not apply to them even if enabled for the legal entity.
- ✗
Set up a budget group for purchase requisitions and assign it to the budget control configuration.
Why it's wrong here
Budget groups are used in budget control configuration to define which dimensions are checked together, but they do not target specific source documents like purchase requisitions. Assigning a budget group does not by itself enforce a budget check on requisitions; you still need a budget control rule that includes the Purchasing expenditure type. This option misplaces the level of configuration required.
- ✗
Activate the budget control workflow for purchase requisitions in the workflow editor.
Why it's wrong here
Budget control is not a workflow; it is a validation that occurs during document entry. Workflows are used for approvals and can include budget check tasks, but the core budget check is driven by budget control rules. Activating a workflow does not configure the budget check itself. This option confuses the approval workflow with budget control enforcement.
