MB-330 Implement and Manage Supply Chain Processes Practice Test 2 — 15 Questions

Question 1

You are managing inventory replenishment. Which TWO methods can be used to trigger automatic replenishment in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management?

Accepted Answer

Wave demand replenishment. Automatic replenishment relies on either demand-based signals (like a wave) or system-monitored inventory thresholds (Min/Max). These two methods cover the most common warehouse scenarios: reacting to specific order requirements and proactively maintaining stock levels. Implementing both ensures high efficiency in fulfilling customer orders while keeping picking locations stocked without requiring constant manual review by the warehouse management team, thus streamlining operations and reducing labor overhead.

Answer

Purchase order threshold replenishment

Answer

Cycle counting threshold replenishment

Answer

Inventory status update replenishment

Question 2

A warehouse manager needs to ensure that specific items are always picked from a designated staging area before proceeding to the packing station. Which replenishment strategy should you configure to maintain this flow?

Accepted Answer

Demand replenishment. Demand replenishment is the ideal approach here because it triggers replenishment orders based on specific sales order requirements rather than fixed minimum stock levels. By linking the replenishment to the pick work, the system ensures that items are moved to the staging area precisely when needed, optimizing space utilization and streamlining the workflow for packing personnel while maintaining inventory accuracy across warehouse zones.

Answer

Fixed replenishment

Answer

Wave replenishment

Answer

Min/max replenishment

Question 3

A distribution company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The warehouse manager needs to ensure that when a sales order is released to the warehouse, the system automatically groups multiple order lines for the same item into a single picking work order to reduce travel time. The company uses warehouse management only (no production or project). Which configuration should the consultant set up to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Create a work policy with a work order type of 'Sales order' and set the 'Group by' field to 'Item'.. Work policies determine how warehouse work is grouped. By creating a work policy for sales order work and setting the 'Group by' field to 'Item', the system combines lines for the same item into a single work order, reducing travel and improving efficiency. This directly satisfies the warehouse manager's requirement.

Answer

Configure a wave template with a 'Group by' option set to 'Item'.

Answer

Set up a location directive with a 'Group by' strategy of 'Item'.

Answer

Configure a work template with a work order type of 'Sales order' and set the 'Group by' option to 'Item'.

Question 4

A company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They are implementing a new process for return management. They need to configure the system to automatically create a return order when a customer requests a return via the customer portal. The return order should be created with the correct disposition code based on the reason code selected by the customer. Which two configurations are required to achieve this? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Set up a return reason code and map it to a disposition code in the Return reason codes form.. The two required configurations are mapping return reason codes to disposition codes and setting up a data entity for return orders exposed via OData. These ensure that when a customer selects a reason, the correct disposition is assigned, and the portal can create the return order through integration. Other options are either not specific enough or not required within Dynamics 365.

Answer

Configure the 'Return order' workflow to trigger on customer portal requests.

Answer

Enable the 'Return order' parameter in the Accounts receivable parameters form.

Answer

Create a Power Automate flow that listens for portal submissions and creates return orders via the Dynamics 365 connector.

Question 5

A company uses warehouse management in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They have set up a location directive to control put-away for received items. The directive is configured with a sequence of location queries. During testing, a warehouse worker reports that when receiving a pallet of item A, the system suggests a location that is already occupied by item B, even though there is available capacity in another location. The location directive is set to 'Stop on first match' and the location profile allows mixed items. What is the most likely cause of this behavior?

Accepted Answer

The location directive's query does not include a condition to check for existing inventory, so it selects the first location that matches the query criteria regardless of current stock.. The correct answer is that the location directive's query does not include a condition to check for existing inventory. Location directives in Dynamics 365 use queries to filter locations based on attributes. If the query does not consider current on-hand inventory, it may select a location that already contains other items. The 'Stop on first match' setting means the first matching location is used, so if that location is occupied, the system will suggest it. To prevent this, you must add a query condition that excludes locations with existing inventory, such as by checking the 'On-hand quantity' field or using a query on the 'Inventory status' or 'Item number' to ensure the location is empty or suitable for mixing.

Answer

The location directive's 'Stop on first match' setting is disabled, causing the system to evaluate all locations and select the one with the least inventory, which happens to be occupied by item B.

Answer

The location profile is set to allow mixed items, but the location directive's query does not include a condition to check for available capacity, so it selects a location that is already at maximum capacity.

Answer

The location directive is configured with a query that includes a condition on the 'Item number' field, but the item A is not listed, so the system falls back to the default location.

Question 6

A company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They have a product that is subject to shelf-life management. The company wants to ensure that when they sell the product, the system automatically picks the batch with the earliest expiration date. They have set up the item with a shelf-life period of 30 days and enabled batch management. However, when they create a sales order and run the picking process, the system picks a batch with a later expiration date. What is the most likely reason for this issue?

Accepted Answer

The location directive for the picking work does not have a 'FEFO' strategy set in the picking location query.. The most likely reason is that the location directive used for picking does not have the FEFO strategy configured. Location directives determine how the system selects inventory during picking. Without a FEFO strategy, the system may pick batches in a different order, such as FIFO or by location. Setting the FEFO strategy ensures that the batch with the earliest expiration date is picked first.

Answer

The 'FEFO' (First Expired, First Out) picking principle is not set on the item's storage dimension group.

Answer

The item's shelf-life period is set incorrectly; it should be set to the minimum shelf life required at picking.

Answer

The 'FEFO date controlled' option is not enabled on the item's tracking dimension group.

Question 7

A company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They are setting up a new vendor and need to ensure that the vendor's products are subject to quality inspection upon receipt. The company wants to automatically generate a quality order when a purchase order is received for this vendor. Which configuration should they use?

Accepted Answer

Create a quality association with a trigger type of 'Receipt' and specify the vendor and item.. The correct configuration is to create a quality association with a trigger type of 'Receipt' and specify the vendor and item. This ensures that when a purchase order for that vendor and item is received, a quality order is automatically generated. Other options do not directly trigger quality orders upon receipt.

Answer

Set up an inventory blocking rule for the vendor's items.

Answer

Enable the 'Quality management' parameter for the vendor in the Vendors form.

Answer

Set up a quality association for the vendor and item combination.

Question 8

A company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to manage their procurement process. They want to ensure that purchase orders are automatically created for planned orders generated by master planning. They have set up a vendor and item with the appropriate coverage settings. Which two actions must be performed to enable automatic purchase order creation from planned orders? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Set up a batch job that runs master planning with the 'Firm planned orders' option enabled.. The correct answers are to configure the 'Firming' settings in the master plan to automatically firm planned purchase orders, and to set up a batch job that runs master planning with the 'Firm planned orders' option enabled. In Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, automatic creation of purchase orders from planned orders requires that planned purchase orders are generated (by setting the item's planned order type to 'Purchase order') and then firmed. Firming can be configured within the master plan to automatically convert planned orders into actual orders within a specified time fence. Additionally, when running master planning as a batch job, you can enable the 'Firm planned orders' option to firm them during the run. Both actions are necessary to achieve the desired automation.

Answer

Set the 'Planned order' field on the item's coverage group to 'Purchase order'.

Answer

Enable the 'Automatic firming' parameter in the Procurement and sourcing parameters form.

Answer

Set the 'Purchase order' creation method on the vendor record to 'Automatic'.

Question 9

A distribution company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They want to ensure that when a sales order is confirmed, the system automatically creates a purchase order for drop-shipped items. The procurement category for these items is set up with a direct delivery warehouse. Which configuration must be enabled to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Set the 'Default order type' to 'Purchase order' on the item's default order settings and ensure a direct delivery warehouse is specified.. Automatic creation of a purchase order for drop-shipped items requires that the item's default order type is set to 'Purchase order' and a direct delivery warehouse is assigned. These settings ensure that upon sales order confirmation, the system generates the corresponding purchase order. Other settings, such as intercompany parameters or item-level checkboxes, do not trigger this behavior on their own.

Answer

Configure a direct delivery warehouse and assign it to the item's site.

Answer

Enable the 'Intercompany direct delivery' parameter in the Procurement and sourcing parameters.

Answer

Set the 'Direct delivery' checkbox on the item's default order settings.

Question 10

A company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management's Warehouse Management module. They need to ensure that when a worker performs a cycle count on an item, the system automatically creates an adjustment journal if the counted quantity differs from the on-hand quantity. Which configuration is required to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Configure the cycle count plan to use the 'Adjustment' posting type and set the 'Automatic adjustment' option in the cycle count plan.. Automatic creation of adjustment journals for cycle count discrepancies is achieved by configuring the cycle count plan with the 'Adjustment' posting type and enabling the 'Automatic adjustment' option. This ensures that when a worker records a counted quantity that differs from the on-hand quantity, the system generates an adjustment journal. Other parameters, such as those in Warehouse management, do not control this behavior.

Answer

Enable the 'Automatic adjustment' parameter in the Inventory and warehouse management parameters.

Answer

Set up a default adjustment journal name in the Inventory management parameters and enable 'Auto-create adjustment' in the Warehouse management parameters.

Answer

Enable the 'Cycle count adjustment' workflow in the Inventory management module.

Question 11

A manufacturing company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They are implementing a new production process and need to ensure that the system automatically consumes raw materials based on the production order's bill of materials (BOM). They want to configure the system to allow for backflushing of materials. Which two configurations are required to enable automatic consumption of materials during production order processing? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Set the 'Flushing principle' on the item's default order settings to 'Start' or 'Finish'.. To enable automatic consumption of materials during production, the flushing principle must be set to 'Start' or 'Finish' either on the BOM line or on the item's default order settings. These settings determine when the system deducts materials from inventory. Other options, such as non-existent parameters or negative inventory settings, do not trigger automatic consumption.

Answer

Configure the item's inventory model group to allow negative inventory.

Answer

Enable the 'Automatic BOM consumption' parameter in the Production control parameters.

Answer

Set the 'Automatic consumption' option on the production order's BOM to 'Yes'.

Question 12

A manufacturing company produces custom furniture. They use a make-to-order (MTO) production strategy. A customer places an order for 10 custom tables. The production manager needs to ensure that the bill of materials (BOM) is automatically created and linked to the sales order line when the order is confirmed. Which configuration should be set up on the item model group to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Enable the 'Production' check box and set 'Default order type' to 'Production' and enable 'Automatic BOM creation' in the item model group.. In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, to automatically create a BOM for a make-to-order item, the item model group must have the Production check box enabled, the default order type set to Production, and the Automatic BOM creation option enabled. This ensures that a BOM is generated and linked to the sales order line upon confirmation, facilitating a seamless MTO process.

Answer

Enable the 'Production' check box and set 'Default order type' to 'Production'.

Answer

Enable the 'Production' check box and set 'BOM version' to 'Active'.

Answer

Enable the 'Production' check box and set 'Default order type' to 'Production' and select 'Create BOM' in the sales order line details.

Question 13

A company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They want to track inventory by using a license plate number for each pallet received in the warehouse. Which feature should they enable to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Create a license plate number group and assign it to the warehouse.. License plate tracking in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is enabled by creating a license plate number group and assigning it to the warehouse. This allows the system to generate and track license plates for pallets and other containers. Other settings, such as parameters or tracking dimension groups, do not enable license plate tracking.

Answer

Enable the 'License plate' option in the Warehouse management parameters.

Answer

Set the 'License plate tracking' parameter to 'Yes' in the Inventory management parameters.

Answer

Enable the 'License plate' option on the item's tracking dimension group.

Question 14

A distribution company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The warehouse manager wants to ensure that outbound sales order picking is only performed for items that have available inventory in the correct location. The company has enabled warehouse management processes. Which configuration must be set up to enforce this?

Accepted Answer

Location directives. Location directives are the mechanism that determines from which locations the system will pick inventory. They include query criteria that filter locations based on inventory availability. By setting up location directives to only consider locations with on-hand quantity, the system will not attempt to pick from empty locations, ensuring that picking is only performed for items with available inventory.

Answer

Wave templates

Answer

Inventory reservation hierarchies

Answer

Work templates

Question 15

A distribution company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with the Warehouse Management module. They have a single warehouse with multiple zones. The company wants to ensure that when a sales order is released to the warehouse, the system reserves inventory automatically based on the nearest picking location to the shipping dock. Which configuration should they implement to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Configure reservation hierarchy at the item level and enable automatic reservation in the warehouse management parameters.. Automatic reservation upon sales order release requires configuring the reservation hierarchy and enabling automatic reservation in warehouse management parameters. This ensures inventory is reserved as soon as the order is released. The location directive then handles the optimal picking location selection, such as proximity to the shipping dock. Other options either control work creation or location selection but do not trigger reservation.

Answer

Create a wave template that includes a replenishment task and assign it to the sales order release process.

Answer

Set up a location directive with a query that orders locations by proximity to the shipping dock.

Answer

Set up a picking work creation policy that orders picking locations by distance to the shipping dock.
