Q:

A company plans to implement Dynamics 365 Finance.

The table CustTable is extended and has new fields added. The new fields are needed in the data entity CustCustomerV3.

You need to add the new fields to the data entity CustCustomerV3 and allow an asynchronous data transfer.

Which two actions should you perform?

Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.

Select all answers that apply.

The correct answers are:

✅ 1. Extend the data entity CustCustomerV3

• You must extend the existing data entity (CustCustomerV3) to include the new fields that were added to CustTable.

• This is the standard approach to make new fields available for import/export operations via data entities.

✅ 2. Extend the table CustCustomerV3Staging

• For asynchronous data transfer (such as Data Management framework import/export), staging tables are used.

• You must also extend the staging table (CustCustomerV3Staging) to include the new fields so that they can participate in batch data processing.

❌ Incorrect Options:

• Create a code extension for the data entity
  ❌ Not required if you're only adding fields — this can be done via metadata extension (no custom code unless special logic is needed).

• Duplicate the data entity CustCustomerV3
  ❌ Duplicating is not recommended — it causes maintenance issues and breaks the standard upgrade path.

✅ Final Correct Answers:

• ✅ Extend the data entity CustCustomerV3

• ✅ Extend the table CustCustomerV3Staging
