Add a Field in a New Table: Which EDT to Extend?

Question

You are a Dynamics 365 Finance developer.

You have a solution that records product weights.

You must store up to four decimals of precision by using a standard Extended Data Type (EDT)

You need to add the field in a new table.

Which EDT should you extend?

A. B. C. D.

D.

Weight data can be maintained with a maximum of two decimals by default.

If you require the ability to enter, maintain, and view weight data with a maximum precision of six decimals, you must extend the decimal point precision for the WeightBase extended data type.

To store up to four decimals of precision for a product weight field in a new table in Dynamics 365 Finance, we should extend the Weight Extended Data Type (EDT).

The Weight EDT is a standard system data type used to store weights. It is defined as a decimal data type with a default precision of 10 and a default scale of 3. However, since we need to store up to four decimals of precision, we need to extend this EDT to specify the desired precision and scale.

To extend the Weight EDT, we can create a new EDT that references it and specifies the desired precision and scale. For example, we can create a new EDT called Weight4Decimals that extends the Weight EDT and sets the precision to 14 and the scale to 4.

Once we have created the new EDT, we can use it as the data type for the product weight field in the new table. This will ensure that the field can store weights with up to four decimals of precision.

In summary, the answer to the question is C. Weight, because it is the standard EDT used to store weights in Dynamics 365 Finance and can be extended to specify the desired precision and scale for the product weight field in the new table.
