MB-310 Practice Question: Implement and Manage Accounts Payable and Expenses
Your company uses vendor payment proposals in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance to select invoices for payment. During proposal generation, you need to ensure that invoices eligible for cash discounts are prioritized, and payments are restricted to a maximum total disbursement amount. Where should you configure these specific selection criteria?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates frequently look for these settings in the global Accounts payable parameters or Vendor setup, rather than the transient dialog box that appears during the actual payment proposal generation process.
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
✓
In the Vendor payment proposal criteria dialog box when generating the payment.
Vendor payment proposals utilize proposal parameters and criteria filters to determine which invoices are selected during batch processing. Configuring minimum and maximum payment limits alongside cash discount preferences ensures cash flow optimization and adherence to liquidity targets established by treasury management.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
In the Accounts payable parameters under the Payment tab.
Why it's wrong here
Accounts payable parameters hold company-wide defaults such as payment specification and terms of payment, not per-run selection rules. Cash-discount prioritisation and a maximum disbursement limit belong on the payment proposal's query and transaction-limit fields, configured when generating the proposal.
- ✓
In the Vendor payment proposal criteria dialog box when generating the payment.
Why this is correct
Cash discount prioritisation and maximum disbursement limits are selection criteria applied at proposal generation, configured in the Vendor payment proposal criteria dialog box. These settings filter which invoices the proposal includes, rather than altering vendor master or payment method configuration.
- ✗
In the Methods of payment setup form under Accounts payable setup.
Why it's wrong here
Methods of payment define how a vendor is paid — bank account, payment format, bridging accounts — not which invoices a proposal selects. Discount prioritisation and the maximum disbursement cap are set on the payment proposal itself, so configuring them here has no effect on selection.
- ✗
In the Cash discounts form by assigning priority numbers to each discount term.
Why it's wrong here
The Cash discounts form defines discount terms, dates and ledger accounts; assigning priority numbers there does not order invoices within a payment proposal. Proposal ordering by cash discount and the maximum disbursement amount are set on the proposal's selection criteria, not on discount master data.
