MB-240 Retired: What Replaced It and What Carries Over

MB-240

Retired exam

MB-240 was retired on June 30, 2026

Microsoft retired MB-240 and the Dynamics 365 Field Service Functional Consultant Associate certification on June 30, 2026. Microsoft explicitly says AB-250 is not a direct replacement, but adds it as the related current path used to account for the retirement.

Historical MB-240 Scope

MB-240 was Microsoft's Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service Functional Consultant exam until its retirement on 2026-06-30. Its final published scope covered Configure field service applications, Manage work orders and customer assets, Schedule and dispatch work orders, Manage the Field Service mobile app, Manage inventory and purchasing by using the built-in inventory management system, Implement Microsoft Power Platform. This page preserves that dated outline for historical comparison and curriculum cleanup. It is not a schedulable exam, and its prices, delivery details, registration links, and practice calls to action must not be used for a new certification plan.

Who MB-240 Was For

Nobody should start a new certification plan around MB-240. This page serves former candidates, credential holders, training teams removing stale material, and practitioners deciding whether prior preparation is reusable for AB-250. New candidates should verify the active Microsoft page and current dated study guide before booking.

Skills You Should Be Ready to Demonstrate

How to Reuse Your Preparation

Do not rename an old MB-240 checklist or question bank as AB-250. Compare the two official guides objective by objective and classify each historical skill as transferable, changed, or absent. Use transferable experience as a diagnostic baseline, then rebuild labs and review around AB-250's current domain weights, products, role expectations, security controls, and operational tasks. Because Microsoft identifies AB-250 as a related current path, not a direct replacement, review the skill map below before assuming equivalence.

AB-250 adds explicit human-and-AI service operation, analytics, and optimization work.

Migration checklist

  1. Stop scheduling, selling, or presenting MB-240 as a current exam.
  2. Compare completed MB-240 preparation with the current AB-250 guide; do not carry over obsolete weighting or mechanics.
  3. Create a fresh AB-250 plan around its current domains and hands-on role expectations.
  4. Remove or quarantine practice content that cannot be mapped to a current objective with source evidence.
  5. Recheck Microsoft's dated AB-250 study guide before booking because role-based exams change over time.

How this page was made

Cert Atlas compared Microsoft's final MB-240 study guide with the current AB-250 guide at the domain and objective level, then checked Microsoft's retirement list and transition announcement. OpenAI Codex assisted with extraction, normalization, comparison, and drafting. Claims were reviewed against the linked official sources; no exam stems, answers, choices, or explanations were used.
