Exam Overview
The Microsoft Certified: Dynamics 365 Finance Functional Consultant Associate certification, validated through Exam MB-310, measures a candidate's ability to analyze complex financial business requirements and translate them into fully realized business processes and solutions within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance. The exam was most recently updated on July 25, 2025, and now covers an expanded set of financial domains including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, credit and collections, cash and bank management, budgeting, fixed assets, asset leasing, tax, expense management, subscription billing, cost accounting, cost management, and consolidation and elimination.
Candidates must demonstrate a fundamental understanding of accounting principles and financial operations as they relate to core finance and operations app tasks, manufacturing, retail, and supply chain management. The certification validates the ability to configure chart of accounts structures, financial dimensions, currency revaluations, journal workflows, bank reconciliations, tax settlement, intercompany accounting, and periodic closing processes — reflecting the breadth and depth of financial configuration required for enterprise Dynamics 365 deployments.
Who Should Take This Exam
This certification targets finance professionals and IT consultants who implement and configure Dynamics 365 Finance solutions for enterprise clients. Ideal candidates include Dynamics 365 Functional Consultants, ERP Finance Consultants, Financial Systems Analysts, and Business Analysts with a strong foundation in accounting principles. Professionals who have hands-on experience configuring modules such as general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, or fixed assets — whether in a consulting firm or an internal IT role — are the primary audience.
Candidates typically have several years of experience in finance operations or ERP implementation and are looking to formalize their expertise with a role-based Microsoft credential. Those transitioning from on-premises Dynamics AX environments to Dynamics 365 Finance in the cloud will also find this certification directly relevant to validating their updated skill set.
Prerequisites
Microsoft does not enforce formal prerequisites to register for MB-310, but candidates are strongly recommended to have hands-on experience working with Dynamics 365 Finance before attempting the exam. A working knowledge of core financial concepts — including double-entry accounting, financial statements, and budgeting processes — is essential, as exam questions assume this baseline without testing it explicitly.
Familiarity with the broader Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations platform is also recommended. Microsoft offers the MB-310T00 instructor-led training course as the primary preparation vehicle, and completing the free self-paced learning paths on Microsoft Learn covering Dynamics 365 Finance modules is advised before scheduling the exam. Prior experience with configuring legal entities, organizational hierarchies, and security roles within the finance and operations apps will be beneficial.
Exam Format
Exam MB-310 is a proctored assessment delivered through Pearson VUE, available both online (via OnVUE) and at authorized testing centers. Candidates have 100 minutes to complete the assessment. The exam may include interactive lab-based components in addition to traditional multiple-choice, multi-select, drag-and-drop, and scenario-based question types. The number of scored questions is not publicly disclosed by Microsoft and may vary per attempt.
A passing score of 700 out of 1000 is required. Microsoft uses a scaled scoring model, and the exam may include unscored pilot questions that do not count toward the final result. The exam is currently available in English and Japanese. Candidates who take the exam in a non-native language may request an additional 30 minutes via the accommodations process. The exam is priced at approximately $165 USD, though pricing varies by country or region.

Study Tips
- Work through the official Microsoft Learn learning paths mapped to MB-310 on learn.microsoft.com — these free, self-paced modules align directly to the exam skill domains and include knowledge checks that reinforce key configuration concepts.
- Take the free official Practice Assessment (Assessment ID 107) available on the MB-310 certification page on Microsoft Learn to gauge readiness. This assessment uses questions in the same style and difficulty as the actual exam and highlights knowledge gaps by domain.
- Set up a Dynamics 365 Finance trial environment (available free from Microsoft) and practice configuring the chart of accounts, financial dimensions, journal names, customer and vendor posting profiles, and fixed asset books hands-on — interactive lab questions on the exam require applied knowledge, not just memorization.
- Study the official MB-310 Study Guide on Microsoft Learn carefully; the July 25, 2025 update added a new 'Implement cost management' objective under financial management, covering cost groups, inventory costing versions, and item model groups that may not appear in older third-party prep materials.
- Pay particular attention to the financial management domain (40–45% of the exam) — focus on advanced bank reconciliation setup, cash flow forecast automation, ledger settlement configuration, intercompany accounting, and the Consolidation online process, as these are high-weight and frequently tested topics.
- Use the Microsoft Dynamics Community forums at community.dynamics.com and the Microsoft Q&A platform to research edge-case configuration scenarios — exam questions often present real-world business requirements where you must select the correct configuration path among similar options.
- Review the MB-310T00 official instructor-led course outline even if self-studying; the module structure reveals how Microsoft groups related concepts and helps ensure no sub-domain (such as subscription billing, withholding tax, or customer netting) is overlooked during preparation.

Preview — answers shown1. Titan Corporation wants to delete a financial dimension that is no longer needed. The system administrator attempts deletion but receives an error. You need to explain deletion criteria. What four criteria prevent financial dimension deletion? (Select three!)
Multiple correct answersAThe financial dimension is used on posted or unposted transactions or in any dimension value combination
BThe financial dimension is used in any active account structure, advanced rule structure, or financial dimension set
CThe financial dimension is part of a default financial dimension integration format
DThe financial dimension name contains more than 10 characters
EThe financial dimension was created more than 30 days ago
FThe financial dimension has been translated to multiple languages
Explanation
The deletion prevention criteria are listed in the training material. You can delete financial dimensions only on rare occasions to maintain referential integrity. A dimension cannot be deleted if it is used on any transactions, used in any active account structure or advanced rule structure or financial dimension set, part of a default financial dimension integration format, or set up as a default dimension. For example, if Department dimension is used in your account structure or has been used on any transactions, deletion is prevented because removing it would break existing data and configurations. Character count in the dimension name does not prevent deletion. Age of the dimension does not affect deletion eligibility. Translation to multiple languages does not prevent deletion. The three selected criteria represent actual usage and configuration dependencies that must be absent before dimension deletion is allowed.
2. Quantum Distribution manually enters exchange rates and wants to update the USD to MXN rate. When attempting to also enter the reciprocal MXN to USD rate, they receive an error message. You need to explain why this error occurs. What should you tell them?
AThe system does not allow entering reciprocal exchange rates for the same exchange rate type because currency pairs are bidirectional and the system calculates the reciprocal automatically
BReciprocal rates must be entered in a different exchange rate type
CBoth currency pairs must be entered for proper bidirectional conversion
DThe error indicates a system malfunction requiring support
Explanation
The error message prevents duplicate entry of reciprocal currency pairs as described in the training material. Each currency pair combination exists only once per exchange rate type, and the relationship is bidirectional. If you enter USD to MXN, you cannot also enter MXN to USD in the same exchange rate type because the system automatically calculates the reciprocal when needed. For example, if USD to MXN is 20 (1 USD equals 20 MXN), the system automatically knows that MXN to USD is 0.05 (1 MXN equals 0.05 USD). Attempting to enter both generates the error message: Exchange rates are already defined between currency USD and currency MXN. Requiring both entries would create maintenance burden and potential inconsistencies if the two rates do not match mathematically. The error is not a malfunction but intentional prevention of duplicate entry. Using different exchange rate types for reciprocals would unnecessarily complicate rate management. The bidirectional nature with automatic reciprocal calculation provides efficient rate maintenance.
3. BlueSky Enterprises generates financial reports in US dollars but needs to view them in Euros for European stakeholders. When viewing a financial report, how can they change the currency display?
ASelect Currency in the report viewer and choose EUR
BRegenerate the report with different currency parameters
CExport to Excel and manually convert
DEdit the column definition to change the currency
Explanation
Financial reports can be displayed in any currency that has been added to finance and operations apps. While viewing a report, you can select Currency and then choose the desired currency such as Euro (EUR). The report will dynamically display in the selected currency. Any currency codes or currency symbols included in the report design will display in the applied currency. This allows quick currency conversion without regenerating the report. Editing the column definition would be a permanent change requiring report redesign. Regenerating is unnecessary when the interactive currency selection is available. Manual Excel conversion is inefficient when the built-in feature exists. The Currency selector in the report viewer provides interactive, on-demand currency conversion for any available currency.
4. BlueSky Industries has multiple subsidiaries in different countries. The CFO wants to understand the organizational benefit of using intercompany accounting versus manually entering transactions in each legal entity. What is a key benefit of intercompany accounting for organizations with multiple legal entities?
AIt automatically consolidates financial statements
BIt eliminates the need for separate legal entity setup
CIt eliminates the need for separate accounting staff in subsidiaries
DIt provides single-entry posting that saves data entry time and ensures consistency across related entities
Explanation
Intercompany accounting provides a single-entry point for transactions that must be recorded to multiple companies. This saves significant data entry time because staff only need to enter the transaction once rather than manually entering it in each affected legal entity. More importantly, it helps ensure consistency and accuracy because the system automatically creates the related entry in the destination company using the configured accounts and relationships. This eliminates the risk of errors, omissions, or mismatches that can occur with manual entry in multiple systems. Intercompany accounting doesn't eliminate the need for separate legal entity setup; legal entities must still exist. While it facilitates the data needed for consolidation, it doesn't automatically consolidate statements. It doesn't eliminate the need for accounting staff; it makes their work more efficient. The core benefit is efficiency through single-entry posting and consistency through automatic creation of related entries across entities.
5. A client at Granite Systems has one legal entity with two departments and two divisions configured as financial dimensions in Dynamics 365 Finance. They need to meet these requirements: Only expense accounts should require dimensions when posting transactions. Users must not be able to select dimensions when working with balance sheet accounts. The proposed solution is to configure default financial dimensions only on expense accounts. Does this solution meet the requirements?
ANo, this configuration does not meet the requirements
BPartially, only the expense account requirements are met
CPartially, only the balance sheet requirements are met
DYes, this configuration satisfies all requirements
Explanation
This solution does not meet the requirements. Configuring default financial dimensions on expense accounts merely provides default values that automatically populate when those accounts are selected, but it does not enforce that dimensions must be posted with transactions - users can still clear the default values and post without dimensions. More critically, default dimensions on expense accounts do nothing to prevent users from selecting dimensions on balance sheet accounts. Default financial dimensions simply pre-populate dimension values to save data entry time, but they do not create validation rules or restrictions. To properly meet the requirements, you need to configure account structures. Account structures define which dimensions are valid and required for specific main account ranges. You would create an account structure for expense accounts that makes department and division dimensions required (marked with asterisks), and either create a separate account structure for balance sheet accounts with no dimension fields included, or use advanced rules within a single account structure to exclude dimensions for balance sheet account ranges. This structural configuration enforces the rules at the posting validation level, preventing transactions from posting if dimensions are missing on expenses or present on balance sheet accounts. Default dimensions are a convenience feature for data entry, not an enforcement mechanism for posting requirements.
