| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Issuer | Microsoft |
| Certification lane | Dynamics 365 Business Central Functional Consultant |
| Exam code | MB-800 |
| Main scope | Company setup, finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, reporting, user configuration, and implementation support |
| IT Mastery status | Sample questions available |
| Area | What to know | Common trap |
|---|---|---|
| Company setup | Fiscal periods, number series, currencies, posting, dimensions, and users | Processing transactions before setup is stable |
| Finance | Chart of accounts, journals, posting groups, dimensions, and financial reports | Confusing posting setup with reporting setup |
| Sales and purchasing | Customers, vendors, quotes, orders, invoices, receipts, and payments | Handling order flow without master-data controls |
| Inventory | Items, locations, costing, availability, adjustments, and replenishment | Treating item availability as only an on-hand quantity |
| Implementation | Data migration, configuration packages, testing, training, and permissions | Migrating data without validation or ownership |
| Distinction | How to decide |
|---|---|
| Posting group vs dimension | Posting groups drive ledger posting; dimensions add analysis detail. |
| Customer vs vendor | Customers buy from the company; vendors supply goods or services. |
| Item vs resource | Items are stocked or sold products; resources represent services or capacity. |
| Sales order vs sales invoice | Orders manage fulfillment; invoices record billing. |
| Configuration package vs manual entry | Packages help migrate structured setup or master data; manual entry suits limited changes. |
For MB-800 misses, identify whether the issue is setup, finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, reporting, migration, or security. Strong answers keep Business Central usable and controlled for daily operations.
