Exam MB-210 topic 1 question 8 discussion

Hi B should be the right one. Because the question is about quotes. If i change the suffix it will apply to all records like cases etc. If i change prefix, it applies only to selected record.

Changing the suffix length applies to all auto-numbered entities - just tried it. If you change suffix from 6 to 4 then this applies to Cases, Quotes, Orders, the lot.This is of course what you might want. Changing the prefix only changes the letters for the entity concerned (as they are all different). The offline/online issue is a bit of a red herring: the suffix is applied whether online or offline but is simply there to assure AutoNumber uniqueness in the event that two new records (one of them offline) try to pull the same next number from the sequence.

The reason it's only option B not both B and C is because option C would affect the auto-numbering for all entities, whereas the question specifically pertains for only one specific entity.

corretto

correct

b correct

Though B and C both results in reducing the length by two characters, changing Prefix only impacts that entity where as changing suffix impacts all entities and this is not mentioned as an ask in the question. Hence the answer needs to Prefix

Reduce the prefix to one character, will be answered(B), as if we reduce suffix length it automatically apply to all entities(Lead, Opportunity etc.)

I would go with B since it says the minimum possible length. The prefix can be shortened to one character but the suffix can be shortened to 4 numbers. So, the prefix will give us the minimum possible length.

Answer B is correct because there if you change the suffix, it would be applicable to all the record types but prefix will not change for all record types so prefix can be changed. So please lock answer B :)

In the event that you have more than 9999 quotes, which is possible in some organisations, then the suffix would have to be more than 4. Therefore reducing the prefix seems the sensible answer. So when I sit the exam soon, and if it comes up, I will choose "B" reduce the prefix

The answer is specifically stating the auto number prefix which cannot be changed, not the prefix as text, thus in my opinion the answer should be C.

Settings > Administration > Auto-Numbering - Quote Here only TWO things you can change. Prefix -- text field -- which is max 3 char Suffix -- drop down -- 4, 5 & 6 chars if You reduce prefix to 1 char - you can reduce at most 2 Characters if you reduce suffix to 4 - you can reduce at most 2 Characters So, both the answers B & C are technically correct and equivalent. BUT -- if you go by sensible mind -- you should choose C -- set the suffic to 4 char Because, suffix is a random alpha numeric number

Answer is C

Settings > Administration > Auto-Numbering - Quote. Answer is C. You can't change prefix for Quote number.

B correct answer

Both B and C can be solution. Prefix is max 3 characters and suffix is max 6 characters. So ideally both B and C results in reducing 2 characters .. But between 2 B is more preferred option as for C if you reduce suffix to 4 characters you will loose unique reference number after 9999 quotes where as Choosing B will allow you to generate unique numbers till 999999 quotes Refer https://neilparkhurst.com/2019/02/25/mb-210-microsoft-dynamics-365-for-sales-auto-numbering/
