MB-330 Practice Test 2 — 10 Questions

Question 1

You are setting up a Master Plan for a seasonal product. You need to ensure that the plan considers a specific demand forecast that is higher than current sales trends. Which configuration is required?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

Use a Forecast plan and link it to the Master Plan.. To include forecasted demand in your Master Plan, you must define a 'Forecast plan' and ensure that the Master Plan is configured to reference this forecast. By setting the 'Include forecast' option to 'Yes' and selecting the appropriate forecast model, you enable the planning engine to incorporate these values into the net requirements calculation, ensuring your supply plan accounts for seasonal surges.

Answer

Enable 'Include sales orders' only.

Answer

Set the Coverage code to 'Period'.

Answer

Increase the 'Negative days' parameter.

Question 2

You notice that Master Planning is not suggesting purchase orders for an item even though the stock is below the minimum. What is the most likely reason?

Accepted Answer

The item is not linked to a coverage group.. Master Planning requires a properly configured Coverage group for every item. If the item is not associated with a coverage group, or if the coverage group is missing critical parameters like the warehouse, the system will not perform the planning calculation. This is a common oversight during implementation that results in silent failures where items seem to be ignored by the engine, causing unexpected stockouts and disruptions in replenishment flow.

Answer

The item has a negative cost.

Answer

The item is set to 'Stopped' in the procurement tab.

Answer

The product is categorized as a service item.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the 'Product lifecycle state' feature?

Accepted Answer

To control whether a product can be used in transactions.. The product lifecycle state allows businesses to control the availability of items based on their development or obsolescence phase. This is critical for managing the transition of products from prototype to active, and finally to discontinued. By automating these transitions, organizations prevent the accidental sale or procurement of items that are no longer supported, ensuring that the supply chain remains clean and aligned with current inventory strategies.

Answer

To calculate the depreciation of a product.

Answer

To define the warehouse shelf life.

Answer

To automate the replenishment of stock.

Question 4

Refer to the exhibit. A user reports that warehouse workers are unable to pick items even though inventory exists in the 'FLOOR' location profile. Based on the configuration in the exhibit, what is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The 'AllowSplit' parameter prevents fulfilling the quantity.. The 'AllowSplit' parameter is set to false in the location directive action. If a pick requires a quantity that exceeds the inventory available in a single specific location, or if the system cannot fulfill the line in one transaction, the restriction prevents the system from splitting the work across multiple locations. Consequently, the work creation fails because the requirement cannot be met by a single allocation, causing the pick to remain blocked.

Answer

The warehouse query is incorrectly formatted.

Answer

The strategy 'FixedLocation' is not supported.

Answer

The LocationProfile 'FLOOR' is disabled.

Question 5

You are setting up license plate tracking in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. A warehouse manager wants to ensure that specific bulk storage locations can hold multiple license plates at the same time. Where should you configure this capability?

Accepted Answer

Location profiles. Location profiles determine the operational capabilities and physical constraints of warehouse locations, including whether license plate tracking is enforced and if multiple license plates are allowed. Configuring this parameter correctly prevents mixing inventory errors in non-mixed locations while allowing multi-pallet storage in bulk racks.

Answer

Warehouse management parameters

Answer

Warehouse zones

Answer

Location format

Question 6

Refer to the exhibit. The system is configured to auto-reserve items upon order entry. A user reports that inventory is being reserved even when the item is in a location that is blocked for picking. What is the cause?

Accepted Answer

The location blocking does not prevent reservation.. The 'Auto-reserve' functionality operates at the item/order level based on availability, but it does not inherently respect location-level blocking rules during the initial reservation phase. The system reserves the quantity because it exists in the logical warehouse, ignoring the physical restriction until the warehouse work creation phase occurs. This creates a discrepancy where an order is 'reserved' but cannot be fulfilled until the block is removed.

Answer

The reservation hierarchy is missing.

Answer

The policy version is outdated.

Answer

The 'Auto-reserve' setting is incorrectly set to 'on_order_entry'.

Question 7

Your company uses the 'First Expired, First Out' (FEFO) picking strategy. Which configuration is required to ensure this works correctly?

Accepted Answer

Enable 'Batch' in the Tracking Dimension Group.. FEFO depends on the tracking of expiration dates at the batch level. By setting up a Batch Tracking Dimension Group with 'Batch' enabled and ensuring the 'Shelf life' dates are captured during receipt, the system can prioritize older inventory. This is crucial for perishable goods, reducing waste and ensuring that inventory is consumed before it reaches its expiration date, thereby optimizing inventory turnover and quality compliance.

Answer

Assign a location directive with a 'Fixed' quantity.

Answer

Set the warehouse to 'Manual' processing.

Answer

Define a reservation hierarchy without batch.

Question 8

When using the Transportation Management module, which process must be executed to determine the freight cost before shipping?

Accepted Answer

Rate and route. The 'Rate route workbench' or manual rating is used to run the transportation engine. This engine calculates the cost based on the carrier's rate master and route plans. This step is critical for accurate freight estimation and ensuring that the most cost-effective shipping method is selected for each customer order before the warehouse picks and packs the items.

Answer

Wave processing

Answer

Work release

Answer

Manifesting

Question 9

Which component is required to enable the 'Cluster picking' feature on a mobile device?

Accepted Answer

Cluster profile. Cluster picking requires a 'Cluster profile' to define how the cluster is built and managed. By setting this up, workers can pick multiple orders simultaneously into different 'positions' (totes) within a cluster. This is an essential strategy for high-volume picking environments where travel time is the primary bottleneck, allowing for dramatic increases in productivity by reducing the number of aisles traversed per picking shift.

Answer

Work pool

Answer

Location directive

Answer

Wave template

Question 10

You are creating a product and need to choose between 'Stocked product' and 'Non-stocked product'. What is the most important factor in this decision?

Accepted Answer

The physical inventory tracking requirements.. The decision depends on whether the item requires physical inventory management. Stocked products are tracked in the warehouse, valued in the ledger, and planned by the master planning engine. Non-stocked items are typically used for services or expenses that do not require physical storage. Choosing correctly is vital, as this setting cannot easily be changed once transactions are posted, and it determines how the system handles inventory valuation and cost accounting.

Answer

The item color.

Answer

The number of variants the product has.

Answer

The user's preference.
