MB-920 Describe Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Practice Test 20 — 15 Questions

Question 1

Contoso Ltd. is a global manufacturer of electronic components. They use Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with advanced warehouse management (WMS). The warehouse manager reports that during peak seasons, the picking process is slow because workers often have to travel long distances to pick items for multiple orders. Additionally, they want to improve the accuracy of shipments by ensuring that items are picked in the correct sequence. They have implemented barcode scanning on mobile devices. The IT team has configured location directives and work templates. However, the manager believes that the current setup does not optimize travel time or enforce a specific picking order. The company needs a solution that groups orders with similar items into a single picking trip and prioritizes picks based on the physical layout of the warehouse. They have considered using wave management but are unsure how to configure it. What should the administrator do?

Accepted Answer

Configure cluster picking in the wave template to group orders with similar items and create a single pick list for the cluster.. Cluster picking groups multiple orders into one picking trip, reducing travel. The 'FEFO' (first expiry first out) picking strategy is not about grouping. Cross-docking is for direct shipment. Zone sequencing defines work order but does not group orders. Cluster picking with wave management is the correct approach to batch orders and minimize travel.

Answer

Define zone sequencing in the work template to enforce a specific order of zones.

Answer

Set up cross-docking to move incoming items directly to outbound docks.

Answer

Enable 'FEFO' (first expiry, first out) picking strategy in the location directive to prioritize older stock.

Question 2

Northwind Traders uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management for their distribution operations. They have a requirement to manage inventory across multiple warehouses and legal entities. They want to transfer finished goods from their manufacturing subsidiary (legal entity A) to their distribution subsidiary (legal entity B) at a transfer price that includes a markup. The transfer should be recorded as a sale in entity A and a purchase in entity B. They plan to use intercompany functionality. The finance team has set up intercompany parameters, but the transactions are not creating the expected intercompany orders. The administrator has verified that both entities are configured correctly in the system. However, the intercompany orders are not generated automatically when a purchase order is created in entity B. What should the administrator check next?

Accepted Answer

Ensure that the intercompany relationship is defined for the specific item in the item mapping setup.. Intercompany orders require that the intercompany relationship is defined on the item level, not just the legal entity level. The item must be mapped between entities to trigger automatic order creation. The vendor setup on the purchase order is correct but without item mapping, no interchain. Intercompany parameters are global, but item relations are per item.

Answer

Confirm that the inventory unit of measure is the same in both entities.

Answer

Check that the intercompany parameters in entity B are set to 'Create intercompany purchase orders automatically'.

Answer

Verify that the vendor associated with entity A is set up as an intercompany vendor in entity B.

Question 3

A small manufacturing company recently implemented Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to manage their production. They produce custom furniture and want to use production orders to track costs and materials. The production manager creates a production order for a new chair design. However, when they try to estimate the production order, they receive an error: 'No active bill of materials (BOM) version exists for the item.' The item (chair) has a BOM, but the BOM version is set to 'Draft' status. The manager needs to proceed with the production order as soon as possible. What should the administrator do to resolve this issue?

Accepted Answer

Change the BOM version status from 'Draft' to 'Approved' and then 'Active'.. The BOM version must be approved and activated before it can be used on production orders. Setting to 'Active' status makes it usable. Deleting and recreating would waste time. Copying from another item may introduce errors. Changing the production order to use the route only bypasses the BOM requirement but materials won't be tracked.

Answer

Copy the BOM from a similar item and assign it to the chair.

Answer

Delete the existing BOM version and create a new one with 'Active' status directly.

Answer

Set the production order to not require a BOM by clearing the BOM field.

Question 4

A manufacturing company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The production manager notices that raw material inventory levels frequently drop below the reorder point, causing production delays. Which feature should be configured to automatically suggest purchase orders based on demand and current inventory levels?

Accepted Answer

Master planning. Option B is correct because Master planning in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management calculates material and capacity requirements based on demand and generates planned purchase orders. Option A is a general inventory visibility tool, not for automatic replenishment. Option C is for warehouse processes, not replenishment planning. Option D is for landed cost calculations, not inventory replenishment.

Answer

Landed cost

Answer

Warehouse management

Answer

Inventory Visibility

Question 5

A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with warehouse management. They need to enforce that workers scan a license plate when picking items from a bulk location. Which configuration should be used?

Accepted Answer

Set the 'License plate required' option on the location directive for the bulk location. Option C is correct because a location directive with a 'License plate required' setting forces workers to scan the license plate during picking. Option A is a general setup, not specific to scanning. Option B controls item registration, not scanning enforcement. Option D controls menu navigation, not scanning.

Answer

Create a mobile device menu item with 'Scan by' set to License plate

Answer

Assign a menu item to a role that only allows license plate scanning

Answer

Configure a work creation policy that requires license plate registration

Question 6

A retail company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to manage inventory across multiple warehouses. They want to ensure that when a sales order is created for a product, the system automatically reserves inventory from the nearest warehouse. Which feature should be used?

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

Set the production order status to 'Released' before issuing materials. Option A and Option D are correct because setting the production order status to 'Released' triggers material picking, and using the 'Release to warehouse' process ensures that raw materials are issued only after release. Option B is incorrect because setting status to 'Estimated' does not trigger material issue. Option C is for quality orders, not material issue. Option E is for cancellation.

Answer

Set the production order status to 'Estimated'

Answer

Create a quality order for raw materials

Answer

Mark the production order as 'Ended'

Question 14

A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with warehouse management. They want to improve picking accuracy by requiring workers to scan each item's barcode and the location barcode during picking. Which TWO configurations are necessary?

Accepted Answer

Set the 'License plate required' option on the location directive. Option A and Option E are correct because setting 'Scan by' to 'Item' forces item barcode scanning, and setting 'Scan by' to 'License plate' on the location directive forces location scanning. Option B is incorrect because product filtering does not enforce scanning. Option C is for general scanning, not specific. Option D is for work templates, not scanning.
