Exam MB-310 topic 17 question 3 discussion

It says that pickles are posted to a single account for revenue, but I feel they are leaning more to the idea that you can utilize item groups for reporting without bringing product specific information into financial dimensions. Even the use of product dimensions is an applicable thought, but in my experience I wouldn't think a financial dimension is the right call in the real world. If the question had said, financially report by pickle type/cut, then I could agree with dimensions.

D. Financial dimensions. The requirement specifies that pickle sales post to one revenue account, but reporting by pickle cut and type is needed. Financial dimensions are ideal because they allow Munson's to: Keep a single revenue account for simplicity in financial posting. Tag sales transactions with a "Pickle Type" dimension to differentiate by cut or type. Use standard reporting tools (e.g., financial reports, account schedules, or Power BI) to analyze revenue by pickle type without altering the chart of accounts or item structure.

Currently, Pickle Sales post to one revenue account, but this does not allow for targeted reporting by pickle cut and type So, Financial dimensions allow you to categorize transactions and generate customized reports.

Item Group

D. Financial dimension is correct answer, as mentioned in question, the postings is into one main account which does not help in reporting. That is the main reason for financial dimensions to come into being. It can be two Custom financial dimensions for Cut and Type as mentioned by Jay.

financial dimensions is probably more suitable. if a pickle (single product) has a 'cut' and 'type' and we want to analyse it, it is possible by assigning the 2 dimensions to it and analyse overall pickle revenue by cut/type.
