MB-310 Implement Financial Management Practice Question
Which feature allows you to prevent users from posting to a specific ledger account while allowing posting to all others?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates mistakenly look for workflow or user security permissions to block manual postings, overlooking the specific main account parameter designed for this exact purpose.
Answer choices
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
✓
Main account 'Do not allow manual entry' checkbox.
The 'Do not allow manual entry' flag on a main account is the specific control mechanism to prevent direct journal entries. This is commonly used for accounts that are populated exclusively through automated subledger processes, such as accounts receivable or payable control accounts. Using this feature preserves the integrity of the data by preventing manual overrides that could bypass the standard subledger reconciliation process.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Account structure suspension.
Why it's wrong here
Suspending an account structure would prevent posting to all accounts within that structure, not just a specific one. It is too broad a tool for a requirement that is limited to a single ledger account, as it would cause operational disruption.
- ✓
Main account 'Do not allow manual entry' checkbox.
Why this is correct
This specific setting on the main account definition blocks manual journal entries while allowing system-generated postings (like those from AP or AR). It ensures that the account balance remains reconciled to the subledger, which is a critical accounting control.
- ✗
Ledger calendar module closure.
Why it's wrong here
Closing a module in the ledger calendar blocks all transactions for that entire module, not individual accounts. This would prevent legitimate system postings, which is not the desired outcome when the goal is to isolate and block a single account.
- ✗
Security role modification.
Why it's wrong here
Security roles can limit access to the General Journal, but they cannot restrict access to individual ledger accounts. Access is managed at the form or entry level, not at the specific account level, making this an ineffective strategy for this requirement.
