Microsoft Dynamics 365 Core Finance and Operations — Question 94

A company uses Dynamics 365 Finance for accounts payable activities.

A user has returned from vacation. Upon returning, the company is in the next fiscal period. The previous fiscal period is still open for posting.

The user needs to backdate and post several entries within the previous fiscal period.

The records must look like they were posted in the previous fiscal period.

You need to recommend a solution.

What should you recommend?

Answer options

• A. Post the entries and adjust the dates by using a SQL script.
• B. Change the dates on the journal entries to a date in the previous fiscal period.
• C. Change the date and time for the current user session.
• D. Change the system date and time of the user’s local machine accessing the application.
• E. Post the entries through a batch job configured with a start date from the previous fiscal period.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because adjusting the date and time for the current user session allows the entries to be posted in the previous fiscal period without altering any underlying data integrity or system configurations. Options A and B propose solutions that could compromise data integrity or violate accounting principles. Option D risks affecting other applications or processes on the local machine, while E does not address the immediate need for backdating within the current session.
