  1. Question 1Single choiceTopic 1
    Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.

    After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.

    A manufacturing company has multiple factories and distribution centers in remote areas where they have poor internet connectivity. The company is planning to implement Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

    The company's main priorities are uninterrupted factory and distribution center operations, master data management, financial global reporting, and integration with analytics tools.

    You need to design the infrastructure.

    Solution: Implement cross-premises Microsoft Azure virtual network between the distribution centers, factories, and the Microsoft data center.

    Does the solution meet the goal?
    1. A
      Yes
    2. B
      No
    Show answer

    Correct answer: B

    Why

    A cross-premises Azure virtual network connects sites to the data center but still needs a reliable connection. It does not give uninterrupted local operations when internet is poor, so it fails the main priority. The answer is No.

  2. Question 2HotspotTopic 1
    HOTSPOT

    A food production company is implementing Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

    The company must run production for salad kits that do not contain nut allergens first, and salad kits that do contain nut allergens second to avoid cross contamination. The salad kits create by-products.

    You need to identify business process steps to ensure that production orders for salad kits that are free of nut allergens are produced first.

    What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

    Set up raw materials for finished goods.BOM Version / Formula / BOM / Product configurator
    Configure the batch sequence.Route group / Sequence group / Operation / Reservation Sequence
    Enable the sequence planned orders parameter.Master planning / Production / Operation / Route
    Show answer
    • Set up raw materials for finished goods. Formula
    • Configure the batch sequence. Sequence group
    • Enable the sequence planned orders parameter. Master planning
    Why

    Process manufacturing with by-products uses formulas rather than BOMs. Product sequencing uses sequence groups to order allergen-free before nut batches, and the Sequence planned orders option is turned on in Master planning parameters.

  3. Question 3Single choiceTopic 2
    A company is upgrading their AX 2012 R3 environment to Dynamics 365 Finance. The company plans to upgrade the data store by using a phased approach.
    You need to define the strategy to migrate master data and opening balances.
    Which tool should you recommend?
    1. A
      Data Import/Export Framework
    2. B
      Microsoft Dynamics AX Intelligent Data Management Framework
    3. C
      Combine XPO tool
    4. D
      Business process modeler
    Show answer

    Correct answer: A

    Why

    The Data Import/Export Framework (DIXF, now data management) is used to migrate master data and opening balances during a phased upgrade from AX 2012 R3. The Combine XPO tool merges code, and the business process modeler documents processes; neither moves data.

  4. Question 4Multiple responseTopic 2
    A client has a third-party warehouse management system.
    Data from the system must be integrated with Dynamics 365 Finance in near real-time.
    You need to determine an integration solution.
    Which two solutions should you recommend? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
    1. A
      OData
    2. B
      Batch data API processed daily
    3. C
      Data management
    4. D
      Business events
    Show answer

    Correct answer: A, D

    Why

    OData exposes data entities for near real-time integration, and business events notify external systems when something happens in Finance. A daily batch is not near real-time, and the data management option is for file based import/export, not real-time integration.

  5. Question 5Drag and dropTopic 2
    DRAG DROP

    A company implements Dynamics 365 Finance. The company does not have a developer on staff.

    The company designs vendor checks that will be accepted by banks. The company wants to format new vendor checks for multiple banks.

    You need to recommend a solution to validate that a venerated vendor check format matches the original check format.

    What should you recommend? To answer, drag the appropriate tools to the correct requirements. Each tool may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

    Move each item to the matching row:

    • Document management
    • Business documents
    • SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)
    • Electronic reporting
    • Format new vendor checks.
    • Validate vendor check formats.
    Show answer
    • Format new vendor checks. Electronic reporting
    • Validate vendor check formats. Electronic reporting
    Why

    Electronic reporting lets functional users configure bank-specific check formats without code. Its baseline feature compares generated output against a saved baseline file, so a new format can be validated against the original check format.

  6. Question 6HotspotTopic 3
    HOTSPOT

    A company is implementing Dynamics 365 Finance. The company has an adjusted annual revenue to one million U.S. dollars. The company engages with the FastTrack program.

    You need to advise on workshop content to aid their implementation.

    Which workshop covers each implementation element? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

    Security model designGo-live Readiness / Implementation / Project Kick-off
    Application lifestyle management strategyGo-live Readiness / Project Kick-off / Solution Blueprint Review
    Show answer
    • Security model design Implementation
    • Application lifestyle management strategy Solution Blueprint Review
    Why

    Detailed design topics such as the security model are worked through in FastTrack implementation workshops. The Solution Blueprint Review examines the overall solution and its key strategies, including application lifecycle management, early enough that risks can still be addressed.

  7. Question 7Multiple responseTopic 3
    A company is implementing Dynamics 365 Finance. The company is enrolled in the FastTrack program.

    You need to explain the benefits of FastTrack.

    What are three benefits? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
    1. A
      predictable success based on past experience
    2. B
      solution design and development tor the customer
    3. C
      formalization of roles
    4. D
      early discovery of risks and issues
    5. E
      proactive guidance
    Show answer

    Correct answer: A, D, E

    Why

    FastTrack provides predictable success based on past experience, early discovery of risks and issues, and proactive guidance. It does not do solution design and development for the customer, and roles are defined by the implementation methodology, not FastTrack.

  8. Question 8Drag and dropTopic 3
    DRAG DROP

    A company is preparing to go live with Dynamics 365 Finance. The company has a small internal IT team who will support Dynamics 365 activities.

    The team requires a plan for the following business scenarios:

    • Deploy a production environment.
    • Delete and redeploy a Tier-1 environment.
    • Restart services on a Tier-3 environment.
    • Produce point-in-time restore.

    You need to create a support plan for the team.

    Which team can perform the activities for each support scenario? To answer, move the appropriate support teams to the correct support scenarios. You may use each support team once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to move the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

    Move each item to the matching row:

    • Company
    • Microsoft
    • Deployment of production environment
    • Deletion and redeployment of Tier-1 environment
    • Restart of services on Tier-3 environment
    • Production point-in-time restore
    Show answer
    • Deployment of production environment Microsoft
    • Deletion and redeployment of Tier-1 environment Company
    • Restart of services on Tier-3 environment Company
    • Production point-in-time restore Microsoft
    Why

    Microsoft deploys and operates production, and production restores go through a request to Microsoft. Customers manage non-production environments themselves through LCS, including deleting and redeploying Tier-1 environments and restarting services on sandboxes.

  9. Question 9Single choiceTopic 4
    Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.

    After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.

    A company implements Dynamics 365 Finance.

    Forms and reports take longer than usual to open and run in the production environment.

    You need to investigate the performance issue by using SQL Insights in Lifecycle Services (LCS).

    Solution: Create a non-unique index on a table.

    Does the solution meet the goal?
    1. A
      Yes
    2. B
      No
    Show answer

    Correct answer: B

    Why

    Creating an index is a remediation action, not an investigation. SQL Insights in LCS is used to review query performance, blocking and DTU, so creating an index does not meet the stated goal of investigating.

  10. Question 10Drag and dropTopic 4
    DRAG DROP

    A company is implementing Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The company is planning load testing.

    The implementation team reports that performance is slow when sales orders are confirmed.

    You need to evaluate load testing by using the Performance SDK tool.

    Which types of load tests can you perform? To answer, drag the appropriate load test types to the correct components. Each load test type may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

    Move each item to the matching row:

    • Multi-user only
    • Single user only
    • Single user and multi-user
    • Task recording
    • Visual Studio Enterprise Edition
    Show answer
    • Task recording Single user and multi-user
    • Visual Studio Enterprise Edition Multi-user only
    Why

    Performance SDK scripts start from a task recording, which feeds both single-user and multi-user tests. Visual Studio Enterprise supplies the load test for simulating many users. Outdated: Microsoft has deprecated Visual Studio load testing, so check current guidance for alternatives.

  11. Question 11Multiple responseTopic 5
    You need to recommend a purchasing process based on the requirements.
    Which three system capabilities should you recommend? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
    1. A
      signing limits
    2. B
      purchasing policies
    3. C
      workflow
    4. D
      procurement categories
    5. E
      security roles
    Show answer

    Correct answer: A, B, C

    Why

    A purchasing process with approval control uses purchasing policies, workflow and signing limits to route orders by amount. Procurement categories organize products and security roles control access, but neither enforces purchase approval.

  12. Question 12Single choiceTopic 6
    You need to recommend the appropriate number of production instances and the hosting location.
    What should you recommend?
    1. A
      Two production instances hosted in China and the United States.
    2. B
      One on-premises production instance hosted in United States and one cloud production instance hosted in China.
    3. C
      One production instance hosted in the United States.
    4. D
      One production instance in China.
    5. E
      Two on-premises production instances hosted in both China and the United States.
    Show answer

    Correct answer: C

    Why

    Dynamics 365 finance and operations is a single production instance per tenant and cannot be split into cloud and on-premises instances. The scenario's hosting needs are met by one production instance in the United States, so multiple or on-premises instances are wrong.

  13. Question 13Single choiceTopic 7
    You need to manage the roles and responsibilities for security and financial management to address concerns found in the prior year's audit.
    What should you do?
    1. A
      Implement a security group for all users in finance department.
    2. B
      Grant multiple security roles per user.
    3. C
      Use security roles with audit workbench.
    4. D
      Use security roles with segregation of duties.
    Show answer

    Correct answer: D

    Why

    Segregation of duties rules on security roles stop one user from holding conflicting duties, addressing audit findings on security and financial responsibilities. Security groups or multiple roles per user weaken control, and audit workbench is not a role design feature.

  14. Question 14Multiple responseTopic 8
    You need to create a plan that meets the following requirements:
    ✑ Migrate the data to the new system.
    ✑ Implement a standardized method for creating items.
    ✑ Prevent items from being created in different ways going forward.
    Which two actions should you recommend? Each correct answer presents a complete answer.
    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
    1. A
      Migrate item data in the cutover plan after the annual updates of items.
    2. B
      Suggest a Master Data Management team who standardizes the item master.
    3. C
      Suggest creating a Power BI report to identify like-items after migration.
    4. D
      Migrate items in the cutover plan before the annual update of items.
    5. E
      Migrate existing items as-is.
    Show answer

    Correct answer: A, B

    Why

    A master data management team standardizes item creation and prevents divergent methods, and migrating items after the annual item updates avoids moving data that will change. Migrating as-is keeps inconsistencies, and a Power BI report does not prevent creation.

  15. Question 15Single choiceTopic 10
    You need to recommend a toolset to assist with User3's feedback about the issues with journal entry and new user training.
    What should you recommend?
    1. A
      Task Recorder with RSAT
    2. B
      RSAT tool with LCS
    3. C
      RSAT tool with Asset library
    4. D
      Task Recorder with BPM library
    Show answer

    Correct answer: D

    Why

    Task Recorder captures the journal entry steps and uploads them to the BPM library in LCS, where they become documentation and training material for new users. RSAT is for automated testing, not training or feedback on issues.
