Q001 - Question
A key customer requires that each sales order line is filled from a single batch. You plan to use the reserve sales order batch numbers functionality. Which two settings are part of the required setup? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Domain: Implement inventory and asset management (20-25%) Type: Multiple choice
- A. In the tracking dimension group, clear the Coverage plan by dimensions field for the batch number.
- B. In the item model group, select the Same batch selection and Consolidated requirement fields.
- C. In Production control parameters, set the Reservation field to Release.
- D. In the storage dimension group, select the Coverage plan by dimensions field for Site and Warehouse.
B and D are correct.
Explanation: To reserve sales order inventory against a single batch, select Same batch selection and Consolidated requirement in the item model group, and select Coverage plan by dimensions for Site and Warehouse in the storage dimension group. You must also select Coverage plan by dimensions for the batch number in the tracking dimension group.
A is incorrect: The setup requires that you select, not clear, the Coverage plan by dimensions field for the batch number in the tracking dimension group.
C is incorrect: The Reservation field in Production control parameters sets when inventory is reserved in production. It isn't part of the same batch reservation setup for sales orders.
Q002 - Question
A distributor uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. Purchase prices for its items change often. The finance team reports that the monthly inventory close delays the financial period close. You need a costing method that doesn't require a monthly inventory close and that doesn't create large, hard-to-explain cost variances for items with variable prices. Which costing method should you use?
Domain: Implement inventory and asset management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. FIFO
- B. Weighted avg.
- C. Standard cost
- D. Moving average
D is correct.
Explanation: Moving average is a perpetual costing method that reevaluates the cost each time a new purchase receipt is posted. It doesn't require a settlement or inventory close process. This meets the requirement to remove the monthly close for items with changing prices.
A is incorrect: FIFO requires an inventory close at the end of each financial period to settle issues against receipts.
B is incorrect: Weighted avg. requires an inventory close at the end of each financial period.
C is incorrect: Standard cost doesn't require a monthly close, but it works best when little fluctuation occurs in item costs. If you use it for items with variable prices, you can get excessive cost variances that aren't easily explained.
Q003 - Question
A company moves inventory between several warehouses by using transfer orders. The inventory manager wants to define the default setting for automatic item reservation on new transfer orders. Which setting should you configure?
Domain: Implement inventory and asset management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. The Reserve items automatically field on the Transfer orders tab in Inventory and warehouse management parameters.
- B. The Reserve ordered items field on the General tab in Inventory and warehouse management parameters.
- C. The Reservation field on the General tab in Production control parameters.
- D. The FEFO date-controlled policy on the Item model group page.
A is correct.
Explanation: The Reserve items automatically field on the Transfer orders tab in Inventory and warehouse management parameters specifies the default setting for automatic item reservation in transfer orders.
B is incorrect: The Reserve ordered items field reserves ordered item receipts against item issues in Accounts receivable, Project management and accounting, and Production control. It isn't the transfer order default.
C is incorrect: The Reservation field in Production control parameters specifies the default production stage for reservation, such as Manual, Estimation, Scheduling, Start, or Release. It doesn't apply to transfer orders.
D is incorrect: FEFO date-controlled is a reservation policy on the item model group. It doesn't set the default for automatic reservation on transfer orders.
Q004 - Question
A sales manager wants all sales orders to use a default lead time in days. The manager also wants to configure sales order defaults for specific products. Which setup should you use?
Domain: Implement inventory and asset management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Specify the lead time in the item model group, and then configure reservation policies on the Item model groups page.
- B. Specify the lead time on the General tab in Inventory and warehouse management parameters, and then configure the Reserve ordered items field.
- C. Specify the lead time in Production control parameters, and then set the Reservation field to Estimation.
- D. Specify the Sales lead time field on the Delivery control FastTab of the Shipments tab in Accounts receivable parameters, and then configure the Sales order FastTab in Default order settings for each released product.
D is correct.
Explanation: Go to Accounts receivable parameters, select the Shipments tab, and specify the default lead time in days in the Sales lead time field on the Delivery control FastTab. Then, on the released product, select Manage inventory > Default order settings and configure the Sales order FastTab.
A is incorrect: The Item model groups page specifies inventory reservation policies. It isn't where you set the default sales lead time.
B is incorrect: The Reserve ordered items field controls reservation of ordered item receipts against item issues. It doesn't set a sales lead time.
C is incorrect: The Reservation field in Production control parameters sets the production stage for reserving inventory. It doesn't apply to sales lead time.
Q005 - Question
A company ran inventory close for March, April, and May. An auditor finds an error in March that requires you to post a correcting transaction dated in March. What should you do first?
Domain: Implement inventory and asset management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Reverse the May inventory close, then the April inventory close, and then the March inventory close, one at a time.
- B. Reverse only the March inventory close, and then post the correcting transaction.
- C. Run inventory recalculation for March, and then post the correcting transaction.
- D. Use the Adjustment of on-hand inventory page to post the correction with a March posting date.
A is correct.
Explanation: You can only reopen the last inventory period that was closed. To reverse an earlier inventory close, reverse each later close one at a time, starting with the most recent close. After the March close is reversed, you can post in March.
B is incorrect: You can't reverse the March close while the April and May closes remain in place.
C is incorrect: Inventory recalculation makes adjustments, but it doesn't reopen a closed period. You still can't post transactions dated on or before the closing date.
D is incorrect: The posting date of an on-hand adjustment is the date of the last inventory close, and you can't modify this date.
Q006 - Question
A product designer creates a product configuration model for industrial machinery with multiple arithmetic expressions and no table constraints. Performance testing reveals unacceptable response times during configuration. Which solver strategy should the designer evaluate first to improve performance?
Domain: Implement product information management (25-30%) Type: Single choice
- A. Default
- B. Z3
- C. Top-down
- D. Minimal domains first
C is correct.
Explanation: The evidence supports C because customer implementation studies have shown that the Top-down strategy outperforms the Minimal domains first strategy, and both are more efficient at solving models that contain several arithmetic expressions where no table constraints are used.
A is incorrect: The Default strategy has been optimized to solve models that rely on table constraints, not models that rely exclusively on arithmetic expressions.
B is incorrect: While Z3 is recommended as the default solver strategy, the Top-down strategy is specifically noted as more efficient for models containing several arithmetic expressions without table constraints.
D is incorrect: Although Minimal domains first is efficient for arithmetic expressions, customer implementation studies have shown that the Top-down strategy outperforms it.
Q007 - Question
A planner reverses the status of a production order from Scheduled to Estimated because the schedule must be recalculated. Which two results occur? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
Domain: Implement and manage supply chain processes (15-20%) Type: Multiple choice
- A. Capacity reservations that were made during scheduling are removed.
- B. Item consumption that was calculated for the items in the BOM is removed.
- C. Jobs that were created during job scheduling are deleted.
- D. Items that were reported as finished are reverted.
A and C are correct.
Explanation: The evidence supports A and C because when you reverse a production order from Scheduled to Estimated, the scheduled start and end dates and times are removed, capacity reservations from scheduling are removed, and jobs created during job scheduling are deleted.
B is incorrect: Item consumption for BOM items is removed when you reverse the status from Estimated to Created, not from Scheduled to Estimated.
D is incorrect: Items reported as finished are reverted when you reverse the status from Started to Released.
Q008 - Question
Your organization sells configurable products to customers in multiple countries. You configure price models with a default currency of USD. A sales order is created for a customer in France whose currency is EUR. The price model does not have explicit EUR values configured. How will the system determine the sales price?
Domain: Implement product information management (25-30%) Type: Single choice
- A. The system uses the USD value without conversion
- B. The system uses currency exchange rates set up for the sales company to convert the default currency value to EUR
- C. The system prompts the user to enter an explicit EUR price
- D. The system generates an error message requiring explicit EUR configuration
B is correct.
Explanation: When a configurable product is sold, the system first verifies if prices are explicitly set in the customer's currency. If explicit values are not present, the system uses currency exchange rates that are set up for the sales company to convert the default currency value into the customer's currency.
A is incorrect: The system does not leave the price in USD when the customer's currency is different. It performs currency conversion using exchange rates.
C is incorrect: The system automatically converts currency using exchange rates rather than prompting for manual entry.
D is incorrect: Explicit currency configuration is not mandatory. The system uses exchange rates when explicit values are not available.
Q009 - Question
A company has two production sites. Site 1 uses the company-level production parameters. Site 2 requires a different reservation setting and a different maximum job lead time. You need to meet both requirements with minimal duplicate setup. What should you do?
Domain: Implement and manage supply chain processes (15-20%) Type: Single choice
- A. Set the Parameter usage field to By site, and define parameters for Site 2 on the Production control parameters by site page.
- B. Set the Parameter usage field to By company, and define parameters for Site 2 on the Production control parameters by site page.
- C. Create a separate production group for Site 2 production orders.
- D. Create an allocation key for Site 2 resources.
A is correct.
Explanation: The evidence supports A because when the Parameter usage field is set to By site, the system uses site-specific parameters where they're defined. If a site doesn't have parameters, the system uses the company-level parameters. Site 2 gets its own settings, and Site 1 continues to use the company parameters without extra setup.
B is incorrect: When Parameter usage is set to By company, the system always uses company-wide parameters. The Site 2 parameters would not be used.
C is incorrect: Production groups relate production orders to ledger accounts. They don't change reservation or scheduling parameters.
D is incorrect: Allocation keys define how the system divides time for bundled jobs. They don't hold production control parameters.
Q010 - Question
You have completed building a product configuration model that includes multiple expression constraints, BOM lines with conditions, and a user-defined table constraint. A colleague suggests testing the model immediately to verify the configuration experience. What should you do first?
Domain: Implement product information management (25-30%) Type: Single choice
- A. Test the product configuration model to visually inspect the Configure line form
- B. Validate the product configuration model to verify that constraints have correct syntax
- C. Create a configuration template to accelerate the testing process
- D. Create and activate a version of the product configuration model
B is correct.
Explanation: The evidence recommends that you validate the product configuration model before testing it. If you test first and errors are present, the system displays a generic Infolog message that cannot help you resolve the error. Validation checks that constraints have correct syntax.
A is incorrect: Testing without validation first can result in generic error messages that do not help identify the source of errors. Testing should occur after validation.
C is incorrect: Configuration templates are created to accelerate the configuration process for end users, not for initial model testing. You must validate the model before creating templates.
D is incorrect: Creating and activating a version is the final step before using the model in configure-to-order scenarios. You must validate and test the model before creating a version.
Q011 - Question
A warehouse worker uses a mobile device to put away items. The system directs the worker to a location that it shows as empty. When the worker arrives, the location already contains another item. No cycle counting work exists for the location. The warehouse manager wants the worker to correct the inventory record now. What should the worker do?
Domain: Implement warehouse management and transportation management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Ask a supervisor to create cycle counting work on the Cycle count work by location page, and then wait for the work to be assigned.
- B. Ask a supervisor to set up a cycle counting threshold for the location so that picking work creates cycle counting work later.
- C. Perform a spot cycle count on the location by using the mobile device.
- D. Ask a supervisor to run the cycle counting plan batch job for the warehouse.
C is correct.
Explanation: The evidence supports C because you use a spot cycle count when you find a variance while you do other work, such as misplaced items or movements that weren't recorded. A spot count doesn't require you to create work before you perform the count, so the worker can update the system immediately.
A is incorrect: Manually creating cycle counting work adds a step that spot counts don't require and delays the correction.
B is incorrect: A threshold creates cycle counting work only when picking work causes inventory to fall below the threshold limit, so it doesn't address the variance now.
D is incorrect: A cycle counting plan creates work immediately or periodically through a batch job based on plan criteria, and it isn't needed to record a variance found during other work.
Q012 - Question
A warehouse manager plans to create location directives to determine pick and put locations. Which TWO prerequisites must be met before the manager creates the location directives?
Domain: Implement warehouse management and transportation management (20-25%) Type: Multi-select
- A. Run the Outbound configuration wizard for every warehouse and then run the Inbound configuration wizard.
- B. In System administration > Setup > License configuration, select the Warehouse and Transportation management configuration key under the Trade license.
- C. Switch the environment to Maintenance mode in Lifecycle Services before each location directive is created.
- D. Create valid warehouses that have the Use warehouse management processes option set to Yes.
B and D are correct.
Explanation: The Warehouse and Transportation management configuration key must be selected under the Trade license. The warehouses must be valid and have Use warehouse management processes set to Yes. Valid locations, location types, location profiles, location formats, sites, zones, and zone groups must also exist.
A is incorrect: The prerequisites for location directives do not include running the inbound or outbound configuration wizards. Those wizards can create some location directives as part of their setup.
C is incorrect: Maintenance mode is required only if the configuration key is not selected and you must select it. It is not required before each location directive is created.
Q013 - Question
A manufacturer uses warehouse management for production orders. Some BOM lines use bulk materials that operators take directly from a location at the production line. These materials don't require pick labor, and the company doesn't want warehouse pick work created for them. Which reservation principle should you use for these BOM lines?
Domain: Implement warehouse management and transportation management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Start
- B. Release
- C. Manual
- D. Scheduling
C is correct.
Explanation: Use the manual reservation principle for materials that operators take directly from a location without pick labor. Manual reservation doesn't make physical reservations and doesn't generate pick work.
A is incorrect: Start reserves automatically. Physical reservation is required to generate warehouse work, so this choice is for materials that need picking.
B is incorrect: Release reserves automatically when the order is released. Use it when the BOM line needs physical reservation and pick work.
D is incorrect: Scheduling reserves automatically during scheduling. It doesn't meet the requirement to avoid pick work for these materials.
Q014 - Question
You are running the Outbound configuration wizard for a new warehouse. Workers will pack items manually at a pack station before shipping. You reach the Container type and group page. Which configuration should you use?
Domain: Implement warehouse management and transportation management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Select several container types, and then specify the Container group field.
- B. Select one container type that has a max net weight of zero, so that no weight limit applies.
- C. Select exactly one container type that has a max net weight above zero.
- D. Skip container types, and specify only a Container build template and a Wave step code.
C is correct.
Explanation: When you select Manually pack items through Pack station, you must select exactly one container type that has a max net weight above zero. After that page, the wizard continues to the Release container page.
A is incorrect: You can select one or more container types and specify the Container group field for wave containerization. It does not apply to manual packing through a pack station.
B is incorrect: The container type for manual packing must have a max net weight above zero. A value of zero does not meet this requirement.
D is incorrect: The Container build template and Wave step code are specified when you pack items through wave containerization. They do not replace the container type selection for manual packing.
Q015 - Question
A beverage company sells batch-tracked products in WMS enabled warehouses. Items use a Batch-below[location] reservation hierarchy with Allow reservation on demand order selected for Batch number. Sales clerks reserve a specific batch on a sales order line when a customer requests it. The warehouse supervisor asks how picking work behaves for these order lines. Which statement is correct?
Domain: Implement warehouse management and transportation management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Workers can change the batch number during exception handling if the committed batch isn't found.
- B. Location directives aren't used when picking work is created for the sales line.
- C. The system reserves only the batch number and leaves location and license plate unreserved.
- D. Location directives select the pick location, and the worker scans any available batch.
B is correct.
Explanation: When a batch number is committed to a sales line under the Batch-below[location] policy, location directives aren't used to create the picking work. The system reserves all dimensions through location, which typically includes the license plate.
A is incorrect: During warehouse processing of work for order-committed batches, neither the user nor the system can change the batch number. This rule includes exception handling.
C is incorrect: To reserve a specific batch under this policy, the system must reserve all dimensions through location. The dimensions between batch number and location are reserved automatically.
D is incorrect: Location directives aren't used for this picking work, and the committed batch can't be replaced with another batch.
Q016 - Question
An engineering organization releases engineering products to a local operational company. The master data manager in the local company wants to review each product release before the product becomes a released product in that company. What should you configure?
Domain: Implement product information management (25-30%) Type: Single choice
- A. In the local company, set the Product acceptance field to Manual on the Release control tab of the Engineering change management parameters page
- B. In the engineering company, set Apply templates to Always on the product release policy
- C. Add the local company as an engineering organization on the Engineering organizations page
- D. In the Release products wizard, set the Send BOM option to No
A is correct.
Explanation: When the Product acceptance field is set to Manual in the receiving company, products must be manually accepted before they are released to that company. Releases appear on the Open product releases page with a status of Pending acceptance. Select Actions > Accept to complete the release.
B is incorrect: Apply templates controls whether template released products are used to fill in values. It doesn't require a review in the receiving company.
C is incorrect: An engineering organization owns the engineering data and is responsible for product design and changes. Adding the local company as an engineering organization doesn't create an acceptance step.
D is incorrect: Send BOM determines whether child items from the BOM are released with the product. It doesn't control acceptance in the receiving company.
Q017 - Question
An engineer in the engineering organization approved an engineering change request to remove a component from a product BOM. The change must create a new product version, and the product information must be updated. Which two actions should the engineer take? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Domain: Implement product information management (25-30%) Type: Multiple choice
- A. Approve the engineering change request, and expect that approval to update the product BOM
- B. Create an engineering change order, add the product on the Impacted products FastTab, and set Impact to New version
- C. Select Complete on the engineering change order to apply the BOM changes before approval
- D. Approve the engineering change order, and then select Process to update the product information
B and D are correct.
Explanation: Create an engineering change order and add the product with Impact set to New version. The New version field then shows the new version number. After you edit the BOM lines, approve the change order. Then select Process to update the products with the changes in the engineering change order.
A is incorrect: Approving the engineering change request records approval of the request. The product is updated only when an approved engineering change order is processed.
C is incorrect: The change order must be approved before the changes can be processed. Complete marks the change order as completed after you process it.
Q018 - Question
A master data manager changes an engineering product version to the Prototype lifecycle state. In the Prototype state, the Policy field is set to Enabled with warning for all business processes. A sales clerk adds the product to a new sales order line and selects Save. What is the result?
Domain: Implement product information management (25-30%) Type: Single choice
- A. The sales order is blocked until the lifecycle state is changed to Operational
- B. The sales order is saved only after an engineering change request is created
- C. The sales clerk receives a warning that the item has a status of Prototype, and the sales order is still created
- D. The sales order line is held with a status of Pending acceptance
C is correct.
Explanation: With the Enabled with warning policy, the system shows a warning that the item has a status of Prototype. Because the message is only a warning, the sales order is still created.
A is incorrect: The policy is Enabled with warning, not blocked. The sales clerk can save the sales order without changing the lifecycle state.
B is incorrect: Engineering change requests are used to request product changes. They aren't required to save a sales order for a prototype product.
D is incorrect: Pending acceptance is a status for product releases on the Open product releases page. It doesn't apply to sales order lines.
Q019 - Question
A manufacturer has a central design team in one legal entity and several operational legal entities. The company wants to maintain product master data only in the design team's legal entity. It then wants to publish fully configured released products to the other legal entities. Which engineering change management feature meets this requirement?
Domain: Implement product information management (25-30%) Type: Single choice
- A. Readiness checks that validate required information before a product version is activated
- B. Enhanced product release functionality
- C. Engineering change requests that are supported by workflows
- D. Fine-grained product lifecycle control over specific business processes
B is correct.
Explanation: Enhanced product release functionality lets you maintain product master data in one legal entity, the engineering company. You can then publish the fully configured released product to other legal entities.
A is incorrect: Readiness checks validate that required information is entered before a product version is activated. They don't publish products to other legal entities.
C is incorrect: Engineering change requests let users request product changes through workflows. They don't control where product master data is maintained.
D is incorrect: Product lifecycle control determines when a released product can be used in specific business processes. It doesn't publish products across legal entities.
Q020 - Question
You are configuring engineering change management. Users must be able to use prototype products in business processes. However, the system must warn users when they add a prototype product to a process. What should you configure?
Domain: Implement product information management (25-30%) Type: Single choice
- A. Set the Product acceptance field to Manual on the Engineering change management parameters page
- B. Set Enforce effectivity to Yes on the engineering product category
- C. Set Track version in transactions to Yes on the engineering product category
- D. Create a product lifecycle state and set the Policy field to Enabled with warning for the business processes
D is correct.
Explanation: Product lifecycle states control which transactions are allowed for each state. On the Enabled business processes FastTab, set the Policy field to Enabled with warning. Users can still use the product, and they receive a warning.
A is incorrect: Product acceptance controls whether a receiving company must review and accept a product before it becomes a released product. It doesn't control warnings in business processes.
B is incorrect: Enforce effectivity is a setting on the engineering product category. Business process warnings are configured on the product lifecycle state.
C is incorrect: Track version in transactions determines version tracking for the category. It doesn't set a warning policy for business processes.
Q021 - Question
Buyers enter expected values on RFQ lines for internal purposes. The procurement manager does not want vendors to see these values when they review the RFQ and reply with bids. The Select RFQ fields to include in vendor RFQ reply forms feature is enabled. What should you do?
Domain: Implement and manage supply chain processes (15-20%) Type: Single choice
- A. Set the Lock RFQs when they are sent option to Yes on the Request for quotation FastTab.
- B. In Default request for quotation reply fields, set the slider to No for each field that vendors must not see.
- C. Add the expected values as internal attachments at the line level of the RFQ case.
- D. Turn off the alternates toggle on the header of the RFQ case.
B is correct.
Explanation: The evidence supports B because fields set to Yes in Default request for quotation reply fields are included with their values in RFQ reply forms. Setting the slider to No prevents vendors from seeing data that you enter for internal purposes.
A is incorrect: Lock RFQs when they are sent enforces amendment processing. It does not hide field values from vendors.
C is incorrect: Internal attachments are visible only on the customer side, but they do not control which RFQ field values appear in vendor reply forms.
D is incorrect: The alternates toggle controls whether vendors can add alternate lines for non-catalog item lines. It does not affect field visibility.
Q022 - Question
A vendor responds to a purchase order with Accepted with changes. A purchasing agent plans to use the Process PO update action to apply the suggested changes. Which two suggested changes can Process PO update apply to the purchase order? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
Domain: Implement and manage supply chain processes (15-20%) Type: Multiple choice
- A. The vendor splits a line into a schedule of multiple deliveries.
- B. The vendor changes the quantity on a purchase order line.
- C. The vendor substitutes a line with another product entered as text.
- D. The vendor changes the mode of delivery on the header.
B and D are correct.
Explanation: The evidence supports B and D because the Process PO update action can apply header updates, such as mode of delivery, and date and quantity updates on lines. For other changes, you must manually update the purchase order.
A is incorrect: A split into a schedule must be made manually on the purchase order.
C is incorrect: A substitution is not a header update or a line date or quantity update, so you must update the purchase order manually.
Q023 - Question
You configure an external catalog for PunchOut eProcurement with an office supplies vendor. The cXML setup request message is complete, and the procurement categories are mapped to the catalog. Employees must be able to open the vendor site from a purchase requisition. Which two conditions must be met? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Domain: Implement and manage supply chain processes (15-20%) Type: Multiple choice
- A. Use the Validate settings action so that employees can place orders during validation.
- B. Activate the external catalog by using the Activate catalog button on the External catalogs page.
- C. Import the vendor catalog and release the products to the legal entity.
- D. Configure procurement policies to allow access to at least one procurement category that is mapped to the external catalog.
B and D are correct.
Explanation: The external catalog must be activated before employees can use it. PunchOut to an external catalog also requires that procurement policies allow access to at least one of the procurement categories that is mapped to the catalog.
A is incorrect: Validate settings tests the request setup message and opens the vendor site. During validation, you can't order items or services. To order, you must access the catalog from a purchase requisition.
C is incorrect: Releasing imported vendor catalog products is required for imported vendor catalogs. The external catalog feature lets employees purchase products that aren't maintained in your product master.
Q024 - Question
A manufacturer wants to inspect work in process (WIP) after a specific step of a production order route, before the product moves to the next step. A quality inspector manually creates a quality order. Which reference type should the inspector select?
Domain: Implement inventory and asset management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Route operation
- B. Production
- C. Inventory
- D. Co-product production
A is correct.
Explanation: The evidence states that the Route operation reference type is used to inspect inventory related to a specific step of the route for a production order, typically to analyze work in process (WIP) before it moves to the next step.
B is incorrect: The Production reference type is used to inspect finished goods before they are put into inventory, not WIP at a specific route step.
C is incorrect: The Inventory reference type is used for on-hand inventory, typically for random or unplanned inspections.
D is incorrect: The Co-product production reference type is used to inspect the coproduct of a batch order before it is added to inventory.
Q025 - Question
Two legal entities in your organization use different delivery codes for the same courier. Company A uses code D and Company B uses code DE. You need to ensure that the two companies can share delivery information in intercompany transactions. What should you configure?
Domain: Implement and manage supply chain processes (15-20%) Type: Single choice
- A. Create a shared number sequence for both legal entities.
- B. Configure an external code for the mode of delivery and set up value mapping.
- C. Set the purchase value mapping to Our for both companies.
- D. Create a trade agreement for delivery codes between the companies.
B is correct.
Explanation: The evidence states that when you cannot use the code from one of the companies in an intercompany chain, you can define an external code to use and select the external code in the value mapping. This resolves issues such as handling different delivery codes for the same courier.
A is incorrect: Number sequences control document numbering, not the mapping of different delivery codes between legal entities.
C is incorrect: Setting value mapping to Our uses the code from the current company account, but does not resolve the conflict when both companies have different codes that need to be reconciled.
D is incorrect: Trade agreements control pricing and discounts, not the mapping of delivery codes or other master data differences.
Q026 - Question
You are configuring maintenance request lifecycle states for a manufacturing company. The company requires that completed maintenance requests automatically record an end date and time without manual entry. The requests in this state should not be active. Which configuration should you use for the completed lifecycle state?
Domain: Implement inventory and asset management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Set Active to Yes and Set actual end to Yes
- B. Set Active to No and Set actual end to Yes
- C. Set Active to No and Create work order to Yes
- D. Set Active to Yes and Delete to Yes
B is correct.
Explanation: Setting Active to No ensures that maintenance requests in this lifecycle state are not active, and setting Set actual end to Yes automatically records an actual end date and time when a maintenance request enters this lifecycle state.
A is incorrect: Setting Active to Yes would make the maintenance request active in this lifecycle state, which does not align with the requirement for completed requests.
C is incorrect: Setting Create work order to Yes would allow work orders to be created from this lifecycle state, which is not appropriate for completed requests.
D is incorrect: Setting Delete to Yes removes historical data, and setting Active to Yes keeps requests active, neither of which meets the requirement.
Q027 - Question
A manufacturing organization needs to configure a maintenance request lifecycle model that allows requests to move from New to In Progress, from In Progress to Finished, and from Finished back to New if rework is required. After creating lifecycle states and adding them to a lifecycle model, what must you configure to enable these transitions?
Domain: Implement inventory and asset management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Maintenance request types with the appropriate work order type assignments
- B. Lifecycle state updates to define the allowed state transitions
- C. Responsible maintenance worker groups for each lifecycle state
- D. The Delete toggle bar on each lifecycle state to No
B is correct.
Explanation: Lifecycle state updates define how states can flow in the system by specifying which lifecycle states each state can transition to, enabling the required movement from New to In Progress, In Progress to Finished, and Finished back to New.
A is incorrect: Maintenance request types associate a lifecycle model with work order types, but they do not define the allowed transitions between lifecycle states within a model.
C is incorrect: Responsible maintenance worker groups determine worker assignments but do not control the flow of lifecycle states.
D is incorrect: The Delete toggle bar controls whether historical data is preserved, not the allowed transitions between lifecycle states.
Q028 - Question
You need to configure responsible maintenance workers so that specific electricians are automatically assigned to maintenance requests for wiring repairs on conveyor belts. The system should match the most specific criteria available. In which order does the system search for responsible maintenance worker matches when a maintenance request is created?
Domain: Implement inventory and asset management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. From Asset type to Trade, moving left to right through all fields
- B. From Trade to Asset type, moving right to left through all fields
- C. From Maintenance request type to Functional location, moving left to right
- D. From Responsible maintenance worker group to Responsible worker, moving top to bottom
B is correct.
Explanation: The system starts in the Trade field and, if no match is found, moves to the left through Maintenance job type variant, Maintenance job type, Maintenance job type category, Functional location, Asset, and finally Asset type. If no match is found by Asset type, the default record is used.
A is incorrect: The system does not move from left to right; it moves from right to left, starting with Trade.
C is incorrect: Maintenance request type is not one of the fields used to search for responsible maintenance worker matches. The system searches through Trade, job type fields, functional location, asset, and asset type.
D is incorrect: Responsible maintenance worker group and Responsible worker are output selections, not the sequence of fields the system uses to find a match.
Q029 - Question
A company plans to implement maintenance requests for the first time in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Asset Management. The project manager asks how many maintenance request lifecycle models are required to begin using maintenance requests. What should you tell the project manager?
Domain: Implement inventory and asset management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. At least two lifecycle models are required to support both active and closed requests
- B. At least one lifecycle model is required to use maintenance requests
- C. The number of lifecycle models must match the number of lifecycle states created
- D. No lifecycle models are required if maintenance request types are configured
B is correct.
Explanation: You must create at least one maintenance request lifecycle model to use maintenance requests. The lifecycle model groups lifecycle states together and determines the process flow for a maintenance request.
A is incorrect: Only one lifecycle model is required to begin using maintenance requests. A single model can contain both active and closed lifecycle states.
C is incorrect: The number of lifecycle models does not need to match the number of lifecycle states. Multiple lifecycle states are grouped into one or more lifecycle models based on process requirements.
D is incorrect: Maintenance request types require an associated maintenance request lifecycle model. You cannot use maintenance requests without at least one lifecycle model.
Q030 - Question
An organization needs to create a functional location type for a forklift storage area where only one specific asset can be installed on each functional location with the same ID and name as the functional location. Which two settings are required on the functional location type? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Domain: Implement inventory and asset management (20-25%) Type: Multiple choice
- A. Set the Multiple assets toggle to No.
- B. Set the Multiple assets toggle to Yes.
- C. Populate the Asset type field with the forklift asset type.
- D. Add the forklift asset type to the Asset types FastTab.
A and C are correct.
Explanation: The evidence supports A and C because the Asset type field is used to automatically create only one asset type to be installed on the functional location with the same ID and name as the functional location. When an option is selected in this field, the Multiple assets toggle must be set to No.
B is incorrect: Setting Multiple assets to Yes allows multiple assets to be installed, which conflicts with the requirement to only install one asset and use the Asset type field.
D is incorrect: The Asset types FastTab identifies which asset types can be installed on the functional location type, but it does not automatically create an asset with the same ID and name as the functional location.
Q031 - Question
Your company moves an air compressor to a workshop for maintenance. The planner opens the active maintenance request and selects Update maintenance request state, but cannot select an Inbound state. Inbound already exists in Maintenance request lifecycle states. What should you configure?
Domain: Implement inventory and asset management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Register an asset loan on the maintenance request by using Send loan asset.
- B. Select Receive assets on the All assets page for the air compressor.
- C. Set the Asset verified option to Yes on the Asset FastTab.
- D. Move the lifecycle states into the Lifecycle states selected section of the Lifecycle model, and include moves to inbound and outbound in Lifecycle state updates.
D is correct.
Explanation: To register assets as inbound or outbound, the Lifecycle model must have the lifecycle states in the Lifecycle states selected section. Lifecycle state updates must also include the ability to move to inbound and outbound.
A is incorrect: Send loan asset registers a temporary replacement asset. It does not make the Inbound lifecycle state available.
B is incorrect: Receive assets registers that an inbound asset was received. You use it after the request state is set to Inbound, not to enable that state.
C is incorrect: Asset verified confirms the asset on the request. It does not control which lifecycle states are available.
Q032 - Question
A maintenance manager wants the Asset consumption report to run at a set time each month without manual action. The manager also wants to be notified if the report ends, an error occurs, or the report is canceled. Which configuration should you use in the Asset consumption dialog box?
Domain: Implement inventory and asset management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. On the Destination FastTab, select email.
- B. On the Records to include FastTab, filter the assets that the manager is responsible for.
- C. Set the Sum on all sub assets toggle to Yes.
- D. On the Run in the background FastTab, define a recurrence and set up a batch job alert.
D is correct.
Explanation: Use the Run in the background FastTab to define a recurrence for a specific time, date, or frequency. On the same FastTab, set up a batch job alert to get a notification if the report has ended, an error occurred, or the report was canceled.
A is incorrect: The Destination FastTab controls how you view the report, such as On screen, Print it, Save it as a file, or email. It doesn't schedule the report.
B is incorrect: The Records to include FastTab filters which assets are included. It doesn't set a schedule or alerts.
C is incorrect: Sum on all sub assets adds sums for each sub asset to the report. It doesn't control when the report runs.
Q033 - Question
A worker submits a maintenance request for a breakdown on a production line. The planner edits the request and selects an asset on the Asset FastTab. The planner expects to select a different asset after an inspection. What should the planner do?
Domain: Implement inventory and asset management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Set the Asset verified option to Yes so that the asset can be changed later.
- B. Keep the Asset verified option set to No.
- C. Delete the maintenance request and create a new request after the inspection.
- D. Create a work order now and change the asset on the work order after the inspection.
B is correct.
Explanation: If you plan to select a different asset later, keep the Asset verified option set to No on the Asset FastTab. You can then update the asset on the maintenance request after the inspection.
A is incorrect: Setting Asset verified to Yes confirms the asset. Keep the option set to No when a different asset might be selected later.
C is incorrect: You do not need to delete the request. You can edit an existing maintenance request to update fields such as the asset.
D is incorrect: Any changes to a maintenance request must be completed before a work order is created for that request.
Q034 - Question
A company uses Dynamics 365 Field Service to manage field work orders and uses Supply Chain Management for invoicing. You need to configure the initial integration so that Field Service work orders are invoiced in Supply Chain Management. Which process flow should you use?
Domain: Implement inventory and asset management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Create work orders in Supply Chain Management, and synchronize invoices to Field Service by using business events.
- B. Synchronize Field Service work orders to Asset Management work orders, and then invoice the work orders in Field Service.
- C. Use a Power Automate flow that runs when a maintenance work order is reported completed to create invoices in Field Service.
- D. Synchronize information from Field Service work orders to Supply Chain Management as sales orders, and then invoice the sales orders in Supply Chain Management.
D is correct.
Explanation: The supported flow starts in Field Service. Information from work orders is synchronized to Supply Chain Management as sales orders, and the sales orders are invoiced in Supply Chain Management. You configure the integration by using Data integrator templates and Microsoft Dataverse.
A is incorrect: The supported flow starts in Field Service, not in Supply Chain Management. Business events send notifications to external systems; they are not the invoicing integration.
B is incorrect: Field Service work orders are synchronized as sales orders, and invoicing occurs in Supply Chain Management.
C is incorrect: The maintenance work order reported completed business event is a notification trigger. It does not replace the Field Service to Supply Chain Management sales order flow.
Q035 - Question
A company sets the Allow zero costs toggle to No on the Costing FastTab of the Landed cost parameters page. A user attempts to post a purchase order invoice with a zero value for a projected cost. What happens?
Domain: Implement and manage supply chain processes (15-20%) Type: Single choice
- A. The system assigns a zero price to that cost area and processes the vendor cost invoice.
- B. The system generates an error message and prevents the user from posting the invoice.
- C. The system posts the invoice and creates a warning message in the voyage log.
- D. The system automatically assigns the previous voyage cost to the current voyage.
B is correct.
Explanation: The evidence supports B because when the Allow zero costs toggle is set to No, the system generates an error message and prevents the user from posting an invoice or purchase order with a zero value for a projected cost.
A is incorrect: Assigning a zero price occurs when the Allow zero costs toggle is set to Yes, not No.
C is incorrect: The system does not post the invoice when Allow zero costs is set to No; it generates an error message and prevents posting.
D is incorrect: The system does not automatically assign previous voyage costs when a zero cost is encountered; it requires user intervention to resolve the zero cost issue.
Q036 - Question
A company wants to prevent users from deleting voyages that have a specific status. Which field on the Voyage statuses page should the company configure?
Domain: Implement and manage supply chain processes (15-20%) Type: Single choice
- A. Mandatory
- B. Modify
- C. Delete
- D. Parent
C is correct.
Explanation: The evidence supports C because the Delete field on the Voyage statuses page controls whether users can delete voyages with a specific status.
A is incorrect: The Mandatory field makes the voyage status mandatory and prevents it from being skipped, but does not control deletion permissions.
B is incorrect: The Modify field controls whether users can modify voyages with a specific status, not whether they can delete them.
D is incorrect: The Parent field creates a hierarchy among status values and controls status transitions, not deletion permissions.
Q037 - Question
A company acquires ownership of goods after they leave the origin port and before they arrive at the final destination under international trade agreements. The company needs to invoice these goods before physical receipt. Which order type should the company use?
Domain: Implement and manage supply chain processes (15-20%) Type: Single choice
- A. Purchase order
- B. Goods in transit order
- C. Transfer order
- D. Folio order
B is correct.
Explanation: The evidence supports B because Landed costs allow companies to invoice goods before they are physically received, which is referred to as a Goods in transit order.
A is incorrect: A purchase order tracks orders from vendors but does not specifically handle the scenario where goods are invoiced before physical receipt while in transit.
C is incorrect: Transfer orders handle movement of goods between locations within the company but do not address the invoicing of goods before physical receipt under international trade agreements.
D is incorrect: A folio is a customs-defined grouping of one vendor's goods for each shipment for an entity or company, not an order type for invoicing goods in transit.
Q038 - Question
A company receives an actual freight invoice for $2.50 per unit when the estimated freight was $2.00 per unit. The company uses moving average costing and has the Post adjustments as variance option set to No on the Landed cost parameters page. Where does the system post the $0.50 variance?
Domain: Implement and manage supply chain processes (15-20%) Type: Single choice
- A. To the standard cost variance account specified in the cost type code
- B. To inventory or to the moving average variance account depending on stock on hand
- C. To the charge accrual account specified in the cost type code
- D. To the clearing account specified in the cost type code
B is correct.
Explanation: The evidence supports B because when the Post adjustments as variance option is set to No, the standard functionality is used. The variance is applied to inventory or to the moving average variance account specified on the cost type code, depending on the amount of stock on hand.
A is incorrect: The standard cost variance account is used when the costing method is standard costing, not moving average costing.
C is incorrect: The charge accrual account is used to accrue cost estimates when posting the purchase invoice, not for posting variances between estimated and actual costs.
D is incorrect: The clearing account is used for posting and reconciliation of costs, not specifically for posting variances when Post adjustments as variance is set to No.
Q039 - Question
Before posting a free text invoice, an accountant previews the subledger journal and finds that the debits and credits post to the wrong accounts. Which two actions can the accountant take to correct the accounting entry before posting? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
Domain: Implement and manage supply chain processes (15-20%) Type: Multi-select
- A. Edit the subledger journal entry directly in the preview.
- B. Change the accounting distributions for the invoice amounts.
- C. Change the posting profile used for the invoice.
- D. Change the distributions from the View distributions page.
B and C are correct.
Explanation: You can't change a subledger journal entry when you preview it. Accounting distributions define one side of the entry, the debit or the credit. The offsetting entry comes from posting profiles, such as from the customer account or the tax. To correct the entry, change the accounting distributions or the posting profile.
A is incorrect: The subledger journal preview is read-only. You must change the source of the entry instead.
D is incorrect: View distributions shows the accounting distributions for all lines on the document, but you can't change them from this view. Use Distribute amounts to change distributions.
Q040 - Question
An interest code specifies a payment calendar with Monday through Friday as working days. A customer invoice is due on a Saturday, and the customer pays late. How does the payment calendar affect the interest calculation?
Domain: Implement and manage supply chain processes (15-20%) Type: Single choice
- A. Interest begins on the first working day before or after the due date. After interest begins, interest is recorded every day, including non-working days.
- B. Interest begins on the Saturday due date. After interest begins, interest is recorded only on working days.
- C. Interest begins on the first working day after the due date. After interest begins, interest is recorded only on working days.
- D. The payment calendar doesn't affect interest until you create a rule on the Payment calendar configuration page.
A is correct.
Explanation: When the due date falls on a non-working day, interest begins on the first working day before or after the due date. The payment calendar affects only the start date of interest calculations. When interest begins, the system records interest every day, not only on business days.
B is incorrect: The payment calendar moves the start of interest away from a non-working day, and interest isn't limited to working days.
C is incorrect: The start date can move to a working day, but after interest begins, it's recorded every day, not only on working days.
D is incorrect: By default, the system selects the payment calendar based on the interest code used for the invoice. Payment calendar rules are needed only when you want to use calendars other than those specified by the interest codes.
Q041 - Question
You configure aging period definitions to analyze customer account maturity. No customer pools are set up in your organization, and you have not specified a default aging period definition on the Accounts receivable parameters page. Which aging period definition will Finance use when you access the Collections page?
Domain: Implement and manage supply chain processes (15-20%) Type: Single choice
- A. The aging period definition assigned to the primary collection agent
- B. The first aging period definition on the Aging period definitions page
- C. The aging period definition with the most periods configured
- D. The system-generated default aging period definition
B is correct.
Explanation: The evidence states that if no customer pools are set up and no default aging period definition is specified, the first aging period definition on the Aging period definitions page is used.
A is incorrect: Aging period definitions are not assigned to collection agents to determine the default view.
C is incorrect: The number of configured periods does not determine the default aging period definition.
D is incorrect: Finance does not generate a default aging period definition; it falls back to the first one in the setup list.
Q042 - Question
A sales order invoice was posted with incorrect prices. Active trade agreements now contain the correct prices. The finance manager wants the final invoice to show only the lines with the correct prices. What should you do?
Domain: Implement and manage supply chain processes (15-20%) Type: Single choice
- A. Open the posted invoice, change the prices on the invoice lines, and then post the invoice again.
- B. Create one credit note with Invert sign set to Yes and Recalculate price set to Yes, and then post an invoice.
- C. Create a credit note with Delete order lines set to Yes, enter new lines manually, and then post an invoice.
- D. Create a credit note with Invert sign set to Yes and Recalculate price set to No, and post an invoice. Then repeat the process with Invert sign set to No and Recalculate price set to Yes, and post an invoice again.
D is correct.
Explanation: The first credit note reverses the original lines at the original prices. The second process adds lines at current prices from active trade agreements. You post an invoice after each step, and the second invoice only displays the lines with the correct prices.
A is incorrect: You can't directly change a posted invoice. You need to create a credit note to adjust or cancel the amount that the customer owes.
B is incorrect: Recalculating the price on the reversing lines credits the customer at current prices instead of backing out the original amounts that were invoiced.
C is incorrect: Delete order lines removes the original lines, which makes the sales order history difficult to read and affects reports that rely on sales order line data.
Q043 - Question
A company plans to use Transportation management in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. Another legal entity in the same company provides all logistics services for its shipments. The project team must decide how to model this logistics provider and how to handle the financial transactions between the two legal entities. What should you recommend?
Domain: Implement warehouse management and transportation management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Configure the other legal entity as a hub and let hub accessorial charges post the intercompany transactions.
- B. Treat the other legal entity like any other shipping carrier, and handle the economic transactions between the legal entities manually, for example by creating a purchase order.
- C. Use Transportation management to automate the economic transactions between the legal entities when loads are confirmed.
- D. Do not use Transportation management, because it does not support scenarios where logistics services are provided by another legal entity.
B is correct.
Explanation: You can use Transportation management by treating the other legal entity like any other shipping carrier. You can't automate the economic transactions between legal entities, so you must handle them manually, for example by creating a purchase order. In the legal entity that provides the logistics services, you can use Transportation management to determine transportation rates.
A is incorrect: Hubs are physical locations used for routing and staging. Hub accessorial charges do not post the economic transactions between legal entities.
C is incorrect: The economic transactions between legal entities can't be automated. You must handle them manually.
D is incorrect: Transportation management can be used in this scenario. You model the other legal entity as a shipping carrier.
Q044 - Question
You are configuring rating for shipping carriers in Supply Chain Management. The company will use the transportation management engines that are shipped with Supply Chain Management. You need the rating metadata for these engines with the lowest risk of engine failure. What should you do?
Domain: Implement warehouse management and transportation management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Create a rate master first, and then create custom rating metadata that matches the fields on the rate master.
- B. Create custom rating metadata for each existing engine on the Rating metadata page and mark every field as mandatory.
- C. Create a rate base with a break master, and let the rate base generate the rating metadata.
- D. Select Initialize base engine data on the Transportation management parameters page.
D is correct.
Explanation: The rating metadata that is required for the engines shipped with Supply Chain Management is generated with the engines when you select Initialize base engine data on the Transportation management parameters page. This keeps the metadata aligned with the rules of each engine.
A is incorrect: You must set up rating metadata before you set up a rate master, because the Rating metadata ID on the rate master defines the data that the engine expects.
B is incorrect: Creating your own rating metadata for existing engines is not recommended. It is error-prone and can cause the engine to fail unless the metadata strictly conforms to the engine rules.
C is incorrect: A rate base structures rates in breakpoints by using a break master. It does not generate rating metadata.
Q045 - Question
A company receives a large number of freight invoices from its shipping carriers. The accounts payable team wants Supply Chain Management to match most invoices to freight bills without manual work. The team also needs to know how to handle invoices that can't be matched. What should you recommend?
Domain: Implement warehouse management and transportation management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Set up an audit master with criteria for automatic matching, and process any invoices that the system can't match manually before you post all invoices for payment.
- B. Disable the Freight reconciliation option on the Transportation management parameters page so that invoices post directly without matching.
- C. Set up automatic reconciliation so that unmatched invoices are posted for payment with a default reconciliation reason.
- D. Use automatic reconciliation only for electronic invoices, because paper invoices can't be reconciled.
A is correct.
Explanation: To use automatic freight reconciliation, you set up an audit master that defines the criteria for which freight bills are matched automatically. You also specify the schedule, invoices, and shipping carriers. After the run, you must process unmatched invoices manually before you can post all the invoices for payment.
B is incorrect: If the Freight reconciliation option is disabled, no freight bills are generated. There is nothing to match invoices against.
C is incorrect: Unmatched invoices are not posted automatically. You must process them manually, and you select a reconciliation reason for each amount difference.
D is incorrect: Paper invoices can be reconciled. You can generate an electronic invoice by using the freight bill as a template.
Q046 - Question
A company ships sales orders from two warehouses to the same customer. The transportation manager wants to consolidate both loads at a hub before final delivery by selecting Hub consolidation in the Transportation field on the Load planning workbench page. Which configuration must be completed first?
Domain: Implement warehouse management and transportation management (20-25%) Type: Single choice
- A. Create a scheduled route with a route schedule for the customer's postal code.
- B. Set Create a master bill of lading when there's more than one shipment on a load to Yes.
- C. Enable the In transit planning option on the Transportation management parameters page and create the hubs where consolidation will occur.
- D. Select the Volume-based load building strategy on the Load building workbench page.
C is correct.
Explanation: Before you can use hub consolidation, you must enable the In transit planning option on the Transportation management parameters page. You must also create the hubs where consolidation will occur. Each basic load then uses the hub as the drop-off destination.
A is incorrect: Scheduled routes are used for regular routes with shipping dates. They are not a prerequisite for hub consolidation.
B is incorrect: This parameter controls whether a master bill of lading is created when a load has more than one shipment. It does not enable hub consolidation.
D is incorrect: The Volume-based load building strategy builds loads based on load template limits. It does not enable consolidation at a hub.
Q047 - Question
You are configuring Planning Optimization in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management for a phased rollout. You want to test the functionality in one legal entity before deploying it to others. What should you configure to exclude a specific company from running Planning Optimization?
Domain: Implement master planning (10-15%) Type: Single choice
- A. Set the Connection status to Disconnected in Lifecycle Services.
- B. Toggle Exclude company from running Planning Optimization on the Company information tab.
- C. Disable the Planning Optimization configuration key in System administration.
- D. Set the Use Planning Optimization option to No on the Master plans page.
B is correct.
Explanation: You can toggle the Exclude company from running Planning Optimization option on the Company information tab to roll out Planning Optimization in phases on a per-company basis. This allows you to use a separate legal entity to test features before rolling out to other legal entities.
A is incorrect: Disconnecting the connection in Lifecycle Services affects the entire environment, not individual companies, and prevents any Planning Optimization functionality from working.
C is incorrect: Disabling the configuration key affects the entire system and is required to be enabled to use Planning Optimization at all, not for per-company exclusions.
D is incorrect: The Use Planning Optimization option is not available on the Master plans page; the phased rollout is controlled at the company level through the Exclude company setting.
Q048 - Question
Your organization runs master planning daily and uses a two-master plan strategy. Users need to perform order simulations and explosions during the day without affecting the results from the previous night's regeneration. Which master plan configuration should you verify?
Domain: Implement master planning (10-15%) Type: Single choice
- A. The Current static master plan field points to the regeneration plan, and the Current dynamic master plan field points to the simulation plan.
- B. The Current static master plan field and the Current dynamic master plan field both point to the same plan.
- C. The Current forecast plan field points to the regeneration plan, and the Current dynamic master plan field points to the simulation plan.
- D. The Current static master plan field points to the simulation plan, and the Current dynamic master plan field points to the regeneration plan.
A is correct.
Explanation: When using a two-master plan strategy, the Current static master plan contains the results from the regeneration run (typically overnight). The Current dynamic master plan is used for order simulations and explosions during the day. This configuration ensures that daily simulations do not overwrite the static plan.
B is incorrect: Specifying the same plan for both fields creates a one-master plan strategy, which does not separate regeneration results from daily simulations.
C is incorrect: The Current forecast plan field is used to specify a forecast plan for demand or supply forecasts, not for separating static and dynamic master plans.
D is incorrect: Reversing the assignments would cause daily simulations to overwrite the regeneration results and would not provide the intended separation of static and dynamic planning.
Q049 - Question
A manufacturer uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The planning team wants to start using Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP). The team also wants to keep its existing planning functionality. What should you do first to prepare the environment?
Domain: Implement master planning (10-15%) Type: Single choice
- A. Purchase a separate DDMRP license for each planner.
- B. Replace the existing master planning functionality with a new DDMRP module.
- C. Verify that the environment has the Planning Optimization add-in.
- D. Turn off priority-based planning before you configure DDMRP.
C is correct.
Explanation: DDMRP is included with Supply Chain Management at no extra license fee. However, your environment must have the Planning Optimization add-in.
A is incorrect: DDMRP doesn't require an extra license fee. It's included with Supply Chain Management.
B is incorrect: DDMRP isn't a new module and doesn't replace existing functionality. It adds more functionality that you can use.
D is incorrect: Priority driven MRP support for Planning Optimization is mandatory, and DDMRP uses priority-based planning.
Q050 - Question
You are configuring master planning parameters for calculated delays. You want the system to accept calculated delays and calculate a new base date for planned demand so that the planned order does not generate any action messages. Which configuration should you use?
Domain: Implement master planning (10-15%) Type: Single choice
- A. Set Add the calculated delay to the requirement date to Yes.
- B. Set Add the calculated delay to the requirement date to No.
- C. Set the Start time for calculating delays to the current time.
- D. Set the Postpone margin to 0 days.
A is correct.
Explanation: The evidence states that setting "Add the calculated delay to the requirement date" to Yes means the delay is accepted and a new base date is calculated for the planned demand. In this case, the planned order will not have any actions because it fulfills its demand on the correct date according to the new plan.
B is incorrect: Setting this option to No means the original requirement date remains, and the planned order receives an action message indicating that the delay should not be accepted.
C is incorrect: The Start time for calculating delays determines when a delay of one day is added, but it does not automatically accept the delay and recalculate the base date to prevent action messages.
D is incorrect: The Postpone margin specifies the maximum number of days permissible to postpone orders before generating an action message, but it does not recalculate the base date for calculated delays.
