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.

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.

The requirement is to resolve the order entry issue:

“Customers often reorder the same items with similar quantities. The system must be configured to ask the user if recurring lines should be added to sales orders.”

Business Central has Standard (Recurring) Sales Lines functionality to address this.

Configure standard sales lines → Add items and quantities

Standard sales lines define templates of frequently ordered items and their quantities.

When configuring these, you specify which items and quantities belong to the recurring order.

This resolves the need to avoid retyping common order combinations.

Add recurring sales lines to customers → Set insert on orders to Always Ask

On the Customer Card, you assign the standard sales lines and configure how they should be inserted when creating sales orders.

The setting Always Ask prompts the user each time an order is created for that customer, allowing them to choose whether to insert the recurring sales lines.

This satisfies the requirement to “ask the user if recurring lines should be added.”

Why not other options?

Add valid from and to dates – Useful for time-limited campaigns, but not mentioned in the requirement.

Set insert on quotes to Automatic – Applies to sales quotes, not orders. The requirement specifically concerns sales orders.

The requirement is to configure the system so that sales discounts are visible and tracked correctly in Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Define simultaneous posting → General Ledger Setup

In Business Central, the General Ledger Setup page contains fields that control whether discounts are posted separately or combined with sales postings.

By defining discount posting behavior at the General Ledger Setup level, you ensure consistency across all sales transactions and financial reporting.

Other options (Sales & Receivable Setup, Customer, Item) do not define global simultaneous posting behavior for discounts; they control transaction processing but not the separation of discount postings.

Specify type to post separately → Discount Posting

To show sales discounts separately, you must enable Discount Posting.

This ensures discounts are posted to a dedicated G/L account, rather than being netted off directly against sales.

As a result, financial statements can show both gross sales and discounts given, which is critical for profitability analysis and discount tracking.

The other options in the list:

Invoice Disc. Code → Used to define specific invoice discounts, but not to enforce posting separately.

Special Prices & Discounts → Controls pricing rules but not posting behavior.

Adjust for Payment Disc. → Manages how payment discounts affect invoices, but again, not posting visibility.

With this setup, Wide World Importers can track gross sales, discounts, and net sales transparently in reports, allowing management to analyze the financial impact of discounts.

Correct Answer:

Specify type to post separately: Discount Posting

Comprehensive Detailed Explanation

The requirement is to ensure that every transaction posted to a customer account includes the Customer Source dimension (e.g., Cash & Carry, Brokered). This is achieved by creating and enforcing a mandatory dimension rule in Business Central.

Step 1: Create a dimension code to identify the customer source

First, define a Dimension Code such as Customer Source.

This will hold values like Cash & Carry and Brokered.

Dimensions are the foundation for all reporting segmentation in Business Central.

Step 2: Create dimension values for the customer source dimension code

After creating the dimension, define the specific Dimension Values (e.g., Cash & Carry, Brokered).

These represent the business lines the company wants to track.

Step 3: Add the Customer table

To enforce the dimension on customers, link the dimension to the Customer table.

This ensures that every transaction involving a customer account requires this dimension.

Step 4: Set the Value Posting to Code Mandatory

On the Default Dimensions page, set Value Posting = Code Mandatory for the Customer Source dimension.

This forces users (or the system) to provide a dimension value on every transaction involving customers.

Without this, users might skip dimension assignment, leading to incomplete reporting.

Step 5: Select the Dimension Value Code that is used for the customer source

Finally, assign the correct Dimension Value (Cash & Carry or Brokered) to each customer record.

This ensures automatic defaulting during transaction entry, reducing user errors and maintaining consistency.

Why not the other actions?

Chart of Accounts: Not needed here, since the requirement applies to customers, not G/L accounts.

Account Type Default Dimension: Useful for G/L accounts, but here we are applying it at the Customer table level.

Search icon, Customers: While this helps you navigate, it’s not a required setup step in the sequence.

The scenario describes cash and carry sales, where customers pay immediately at the desk and sales invoices must be posted as paid in full at the time of sale. In Dynamics 365 Business Central, this is achieved by setting Payment Terms that indicate no delay between invoice date and due date.

Why D (Payment Terms = 0D)

The Payment Terms setup in Business Central allows you to define how the Due Date is calculated.

For cash and carry transactions, the invoice is due on the same day (zero days). Setting the Due Date Calculation to 0D ensures that the system always marks invoices as immediately due, reflecting the cash-and-carry business process.

This aligns with requirements: “Invoices must be posted at the cash and carry desk at the time of sale” and “Invoices already paid in full should not appear as outstanding on aging reports.”

Why not A (Payment Service)

Payment Services are used for integration with external services like PayPal or credit card gateways. Wide World Importers does not require a POS or online payment gateway—just simple cash handling at the desk.

Why not B (Direct Debit Mandate)

Direct Debit is used for recurring bank withdrawals (SEPA mandates, subscription-type payments). It does not apply to one-time, immediate cash payments.

Why not C (Payment Method = Bank Account)

While Payment Methods (e.g., Cash, Bank Transfer, Check) are also important for tracking how customers pay, the critical requirement in the scenario is ensuring the invoice is due immediately. That is achieved by Payment Terms = 0D, not by Payment Method alone.

Best Practice Setup in Business Central for Cash & Carry:

Payment Terms: 0D (ensures invoice due immediately).

Payment Method: Cash (ensures posted directly against the cash account).

Apply to invoices at posting: Invoices will automatically be shown as paid in full.

This combination ensures correct cash sales processing and eliminates the issue noted in the case study where invoices incorrectly appear in aging reports.

The scenario requires configuring Business Central to meet sales department needs:

Sales discounts

Requirement: “Discounts must post to a unique general ledger (G/L) account.”

In Business Central, this is managed through the Discount Posting field in Sales & Receivables Setup.

When enabled, the system posts line discounts and invoice discounts to dedicated G/L accounts instead of combining them with revenue.

This ensures transparency and compliance with accounting’s requirement to track discounts separately.

Correct match: Sales discounts → Discount posting

Credit limits

Requirement: “The sales department should receive a warning when entering the order if a customer is over their credit limit.”

In Business Central, this behavior is controlled by Credit Warnings in the Sales & Receivables Setup.

This setup defines whether to warn the user, block posting, or allow posting when the customer’s balance exceeds the defined credit limit.

Correct match: Credit limits → Credit warnings

Why not the other options?

Calc. inv. discount – Controls whether invoice discounts are automatically calculated, but not relevant here.

Stockout warnings – Alerts when an item has insufficient inventory; unrelated to discounts or credit limits.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Set up inventory periods: Before performing any inventory costing adjustments, you must first define the period for which the adjustments will be made. This step is a prerequisite for most inventory management tasks, ensuring that the work is contained within a specific timeframe.

Run the Adjust Cost – Item Entries batch job: This is the core action for adjusting inventory costs. This batch job automatically recalculates and updates the costs of all inventory items to reflect the most current and accurate valuation. It's a critical step for systems that use costing methods like average cost or FIFO, which might require periodic re-evaluation.

Run Post Inventory Cost to G/L: Once the inventory item costs have been adjusted, the next logical step is to post these updated values to the general ledger (G/L). This action synchronizes the inventory sub-ledger with the financial records, ensuring that the company's financial statements accurately reflect the true value of its inventory.

Close the inventory period: After all adjustments are made and costs are posted to the G/L, you must close the inventory period. Closing the period prevents any new entries or changes from affecting the adjusted costs, thereby maintaining the integrity of the financial data and satisfying audit and compliance requirements.
