MB-330 Practice Test 9 — 10 Questions

Question 1

A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with warehouse management only. They have configured location directives to determine putaway locations for received goods. The warehouse manager reports that for a specific item, the system is placing goods in the wrong location, despite the location directive having a query that filters by item group. You need to troubleshoot the issue. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

Another location directive with a lower sequence number is matching the item and taking precedence.. Location directives are processed in ascending sequence order. If a directive with a lower sequence number matches the item, it takes precedence over the intended directive. The most likely cause is that another directive, perhaps with broader query criteria, is matching the item first. To fix the issue, you need to review the sequence numbers and query criteria of all location directives to ensure the intended one is evaluated first.

Answer

The location directive is not assigned to the correct work order type.

Answer

The item is not associated with the correct item group in the item master.

Answer

The location directive query is using the wrong item group, but the directive sequence is lower than another directive that matches the item.

Question 2

A company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They need to track inventory by batch number and ensure that the expiration date is recorded for each batch. Which configuration is required to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Configure the item's tracking dimension group to include the batch number and set up a shelf life on the item.. To track inventory by batch and record expiration dates, the item must be assigned a tracking dimension group that includes the batch number dimension. Furthermore, the item must have a shelf life configured, which defines the period for which the item is usable and enables the system to calculate and store expiration dates for each batch. This combination ensures both batch tracking and expiration date management.

Answer

Create a batch attribute for expiration date and assign it to the item.

Answer

Enable the 'Batch number' dimension in the item's tracking dimension group and set up a shelf life period.

Answer

Enable the 'Expiration date' dimension in the item's storage dimension group.

Accepted Answer

The forecast is reduced to 50 units; planned orders are generated for the remaining 50 units.. Forecast consumption reduces the forecast quantity by the actual demand from sales orders. With a 200-unit forecast and a 150-unit sales order, 50 units of forecast remain. Master Planning uses this net forecast to generate planned orders, ensuring supply matches the remaining expected demand. This prevents both double-counting and shortages.

Answer

The forecast is reduced to 0 units; planned orders are generated for 150 units.

Answer

The forecast remains at 200 units; planned orders are generated for 150 units.

Answer

The forecast is reduced by 150 units, but planned orders are not generated because the sales order covers demand.

Question 4

A distribution company is standardizing how items are classified in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The product team wants a hierarchical structure that can be used to drive procurement rules, sales restrictions, and reporting, separate from the item's storage and tracking dimensions. Which configuration should they implement?

Accepted Answer

Create a category hierarchy of type Product hierarchy and assign products to categories.. A Product hierarchy category hierarchy is the standard mechanism for classifying products into a shared, hierarchical structure used across legal entities. It supports category-based attributes, reporting, and business rules. Product dimension groups and storage dimension groups handle variant generation and inventory tracking, while Procurement category hierarchies are specific to purchasing classification, so they do not satisfy the broad classification need.

Answer

Create a product dimension group that includes Configuration, Size, and Color.

Answer

Create a category hierarchy of type Procurement category.

Answer

Create a storage dimension group and enable Site and Warehouse.

Question 5

A company uses standard cost for a purchased component. The purchasing manager reports that the purchase price variance on a recent purchase order was calculated against a cost that does not match the active standard cost shown on the released product. You need to determine why the variance used a different cost. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The purchase order line was created before the pending standard cost was activated, so it used the previous active standard cost.. Standard cost variances are calculated at posting time using the active standard cost. A pending cost that has not been activated does not affect transactions, so a purchase order created before activation will post its receipt and variance against the prior active standard, which explains the mismatch the manager observed.

Answer

The vendor's invoice was matched to a different product receipt, causing the variance to be calculated against the invoice price instead of the standard cost.

Answer

The item's cost group was changed, which automatically recalculated all historical variances.

Answer

The purchase order was posted with a quantity that exceeded the on-hand quantity, forcing the system to use a fallback cost.

Question 6

A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with warehouse management only. They have configured location directives to determine putaway locations for received goods. The warehouse manager reports that for a specific item, the system is placing goods in the wrong location, despite the location directive having a query that filters by item group. You need to troubleshoot the issue. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

Mobile device menu item. The mobile device menu item is the configuration element that defines the sequence of steps a worker performs on the handheld device. It specifies which fields are displayed, which scans are required, and in what order. By setting up a menu item for outbound picking with the appropriate work creation process and step configuration, the company can enforce scanning the item, then quantity, then license plate.

Answer

Wave template

Answer

Location directive

Answer

Work template

Question 7

A warehouse supervisor needs to enable a new mobile device menu item that allows workers to quickly move inventory from a receiving location to a staging location without creating a sales order or transfer order. The movement must be recorded in the system with a reason code for audit purposes. Which mobile device menu item type should you use?

Accepted Answer

Movement. The Movement menu item type is specifically designed for ad-hoc inventory transfers between locations without a source document. It captures the from and to locations, item, and quantity, and can enforce a reason code. This satisfies the need to move items from receiving to staging while maintaining an audit trail, unlike other menu item types that require documents or change quantities.

Answer

Indirect activity - Location movement

Answer

Sales order picking

Answer

Inventory adjustment

Question 8

You are implementing transportation management in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. A logistics manager wants to automatically rate shipments and select the best carrier based on cost and transit time. Which two components must be configured to enable automatic rating and carrier selection? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Transit time engine. To enable automatic rating and carrier selection, you must configure a rate master to provide cost data and a transit time engine to provide time data. The system uses these to evaluate carriers and select the best option based on the criteria. Other components like load templates or accessorial charges are not essential for the core rating and selection process.

Answer

Route plan

Answer

Accessorial charge

Answer

Load template

Question 9

Accepted Answer

FEFO (First Expired, First Out). FEFO is the correct batch reservation strategy because it automatically selects batches with the earliest expiration dates, ensuring that perishable or time-sensitive items are picked first. Other strategies like FIFO or LIFO do not consider expiry dates, and manual reservation lacks automation.

Answer

Manual reservation

Answer

LIFO (Last In, First Out)

Answer

FIFO (First In, First Out)

Question 10

A warehouse supervisor needs to perform a cycle count for a specific location. They want to ensure that only items with a quantity greater than zero are counted. Which cycle count configuration should they use?

Accepted Answer

On the cycle count plan, set the 'Include items with zero quantity' option to 'No'.. The cycle count plan includes an option to include or exclude items with zero quantity. By setting this option to 'No', the supervisor ensures that only items with a positive on-hand quantity are counted, which aligns with the need to count only items that are physically present and have stock.

Answer

Set the cycle count plan to include items with zero quantity.

Answer

Configure the cycle count work pool to filter by quantity > 0.

Answer

Use a cycle count threshold to exclude zero-quantity items.
