MB-310 Manage Budgeting Practice Question
Your company requires specific documents to be evaluated against budget funds before they affect the general ledger. Which TWO source documents can be configured for budget control validation in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance? Select two.
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates frequently select 'Invoices' or 'Expense reports' as source documents. While these affect budgets, they are not the primary commitment documents configured for early lifecycle budget validation in this context.
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
✓
Purchase requisitions
Purchase requisitions and purchase orders are core commitment-phase documents natively integrated with budget control in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance. Including these ensures that management can reserve budget funds early in the procurement lifecycle, preventing unauthorized financial commitments before invoices are ever received or posted.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Purchase requisitions
Why this is correct
Purchase requisitions support budget control validation, checking available funds before commitment. Enabling budget control on this source document prevents requisitions exceeding budget from proceeding, satisfying the stem's requirement that documents be evaluated against funds before affecting the general ledger.
- ✗
Customer free text invoices
Why it's wrong here
Free text invoices record revenue transactions and amounts billed to customers, which increase organizational funds. Because budget control is designed to monitor and restrict organizational expenses and commitments, revenue documents are excluded from this validation.
- ✓
Purchase orders
Why this is correct
Purchase orders are committed expenditure, so they can be enabled for budget control, checking available funds at confirmation and encumbrance. This satisfies the stem's requirement that documents be evaluated against budget funds before affecting the general ledger, since encumbrances post to budget balances rather than actuals.
- ✗
Fixed asset depreciation proposals
Why it's wrong here
Depreciation proposals post ledger transactions but are not selectable source documents in budget control configuration; budget checking applies to documents such as purchase requisitions, purchase orders, vendor invoices and expense reports. Depreciation is a non-cash allocation, so it would never consume budget funds.
- ✗
Bank deposit slips
Why it's wrong here
Bank deposit slips post customer receipts, which budget control evaluates only when the posting type is configured for budget checking; they are not a source document type in the budget control configuration. They would be relevant to cash management reconciliation, not encumbrance validation against funds.
