MB-800 Dumps - Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Functional Consultant Practice Exam Questions

Comprehensive Detailed Explanation

The case study mentions reconciliation issues caused by manual entries being made directly into certain G/L accounts, which led to discrepancies between subledger balances (like customers, vendors, or inventory) and the General Ledger. To resolve this, Business Central allows you to restrict how accounts are posted.

Restrict use on → G/L Account Card

The most appropriate place to restrict usage of specific accounts (such as control accounts for A/R, A/P, or Inventory) is on the G/L Account Card.

Here, you can configure posting restrictions for each account individually (e.g., Accounts Receivable account should only be posted through the customer subledger, not by manual G/L journals).

Other options:

General Ledger Setup → Controls global accounting settings, not account-specific restrictions.

Sales & Receivable Setup → Defines control accounts but does not enforce restrictions.

Chart of Accounts → Displays accounts but restrictions are managed per account card.

Set value for → Direct posting

On the G/L Account Card, the field Direct Posting determines whether users can post manual entries directly into the account.

To prevent reconciliation issues, Direct Posting must be disabled (unchecked) for accounts controlled by subledgers (e.g., A/R, A/P, Inventory).

This ensures that postings only come from system-generated entries (like sales invoices, purchase invoices, or inventory adjustments) and not from manual journals that could break reconciliation.

Other options:

Reconciliation account → Relevant in SAP, not B

C.  

Check G/L account usage → Not a standard control in B

C.  

Gen. Posting Type → Defines how entries are posted (Sale, Purchase, Inventory), but does not enforce direct posting restrictions.

With this setup:

Reconciliation issues are avoided because control accounts cannot be posted to manually.

Users are guided to post through the proper subledger processes (sales, purchasing, inventory, etc.).

Financial integrity between subledgers and the G/L is maintained.

Chart of Accounts in Business Central

This sequence makes sense because you first create the series itself, then define the lines (the actual numbers within the series), and finally define the relationships to link the series to the specific data table (like the Accounts table) where it will be used.

Sequence 2: Using a Configuration Package to Manage Data

This sequence focuses on using a configuration package to manage and update data, which might include fixing issues with existing accounts or importing new ones.

Create a configuration package.

Configure the Vendor Table on the configuration package.

Create the Data template.

While this sequence is plausible, it has a significant flaw: the prompt mentions "Accounts," but this sequence specifically mentions the Vendor Table. If we assume the "Vendor Table" is a placeholder for a generic data table like the Accounts table, the sequence makes sense. You create a package, configure it for a specific table, and then create a data template to import the data into that table.

Sequence 3: Resolving Issues by Defining the Number Series on the Configuration Template

This sequence focuses on resolving issues by directly modifying the configuration template within a configuration package.

Create a configuration package.

Create the Data template.

Define the No. Series on the configuration template.

This sequence is logical for a scenario where you're using a configuration package to manage both data and its associated number series. You first create the package, then create the data template (which is a core component of the package), and finally define the number series on that template to ensure the imported data uses the correct number sequencing.

Comprehensive Detailed Explanation

The requirement is to report profitability by business line (cash & carry vs. brokered). In Business Central, the way to achieve this is by creating a Global or Shortcut Dimension (for example, a dimension called Business Line) and ensuring that it is captured on every sales, purchase, and general ledger transaction.

Create a dimension → Value

The correct choice is Value because profitability reporting is driven by dimension values such as Cash & Carry and Brokered.

Combination, Default Priorities, and Account Type Default are used for control and automation of dimensions, not for the initial creation of reporting dimensions.
