MB 210: Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales – Revision Guide

February 24, 2019

Quick query Neil. You say the revision guide is for MB 210 in the title, and then reference MB 200 in the body text. Should the body text be stating MB210 also?

Use your Guides frequently, keep up the great work!

  This exam will replace mb2 717. But it is currently in beta. I GUESS we will need to wait a month or so for it to be out of beta and the full replacement.

Hi Neil..Your notes are always amazing . I have completed MB2 716 and MB2 715 referring your notes. Thank You!! .. I see the MB2 210 syllabus quite trimmed down as compared to MB2 717 . As it is in Beta mode .. will the Syllabus increase ? Also under Manage core sales entities i see the revision Guide Hyper link is not working…

  Hi, I am still working on the Mb 210 guide. Hopefully all content will be complete “soon”. The skills measured for Mb 210 has just been updated. I expect syllabus to stop at that.

Hi Neil, thank you for the very helpful syllabus! It seems that some of the links are not working, though. They are displayed as “<>”, but they are not clickable. Is this on purpose or just a bug? I would love to hear from you.

  Hi Leon, you might notice a comment in the post that my MB 210 guide is a work in progress! I am adding more posts as I get chance to create them. So please keep returning. In the meantime also checkout my posts for the MB2-717 exam. As much of the content is still valid.
  
  Thanks
  
  Neil.

Hi Neil,

Do you have any experience of “MB-200: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Core”?
I do not see the difference between MB-200 and MB2-716.

Best regards,
Pontus

  A lot of the content is similar. Although MB 200 will cover some newer topics like Microsoft Flow. The style of the questions has changed but that is true for all the new exams. (They aren’t “just” standard multiple choice questions anymore.) The knowledge you have from MB2 716 will help with MB 200. Just don’t forget to also revise newer features.
  
  Good luck.
  
  Neil

Hello Neil,

Thanks for your amazing work, I already did use your notes for the MB2-717 and since I now have to pass the MB210 here I am. ^^

There is just one point I never really understood in the Sales Module -> Even if, from a business point of view, I can understand why to close an Order or an Invoice as Partial. From a more technical point of view, I don’t understand why the record is closed as read only (or why the system does not generate another record to really complete the process).

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks again
David

  Thanks with regard to closing an invoice as partial … I agree. What you describe as the functionality as designed by Microsoft. But in the real world I don’t think it would fit for many businesses. In reality I think partial invoicing could need some custom work to make it operate exactly as the customer would need. Which I guess could be slightly different depending on their industry sector. From an exam point of view you simply need to know how Microsoft have designed these things. The fun only starts in the real world!!
