A. B. C. D.D.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/fin-ops-core/dev-itpro/data-entities/data-entities-data-packagesThe correct answer is option C: [Data Type Reference].[Sequence Number].[Module #].
In Microsoft Dynamics 365, the data format for transferring data from an existing environment to a new environment is defined using data entities. Data entities are a conceptual abstraction and encapsulation of one of more underlying tables used for data processing. The data format specification, therefore, is documented using the data entity naming convention.
The data entity naming convention specifies the sequence of elements that make up the name of a data entity. The elements are separated by periods (.) and follow a specific order. The correct sequence for a data entity name is as follows:
[Data Type Reference].[Sequence Number].[Module #]
where:
- Data Type Reference: A reference to the type of data that the entity represents. For example, "Cust" for customer data or "Vend" for vendor data.
- Sequence Number: A sequence number that identifies the entity among all entities of the same data type reference. This number is assigned sequentially as entities are created.
- Module #: A number that identifies the module or functional area to which the entity belongs. This number is assigned by the application.
Option C is the correct answer because it follows the correct sequence for a data entity name. The data type reference is listed first, followed by the sequence number and then the module number. Option A is incorrect because the module number is listed first, followed by the data type reference and then the sequence number. Option B is incorrect because the sequence number is listed first, followed by the data type reference and then the module number. Option D is incorrect because the data type reference is listed last, which violates the naming convention.
