MB-330 Implement and Manage Supply Chain Processes Practice Test 5 — 15 Questions

Question 1

What is the primary benefit of using a 'Cluster picking' profile in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management?

Accepted Answer

To process multiple orders in one picking round.. Cluster picking allows a single warehouse worker to pick multiple orders simultaneously, which drastically reduces the amount of walking required within the warehouse. By consolidating multiple orders into a single picking run, the worker visits each location only once to pick items for several customers. This efficiency is critical for high-frequency, low-quantity pick operations, significantly increasing throughput and reducing labor costs in busy fulfillment environments where speed is a priority.

Answer

To balance the load across multiple warehouse workers.

Answer

To automate the cycle counting of inventory.

Answer

To manage the replenishment of bulk to picking locations.

Question 2

A manufacturing company wants to ensure that raw materials are automatically consumed when production starts for a specific item. They have configured the item's production consumption method as 'Start'. However, they notice that materials are still being consumed manually. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The BOM line's consumption method is overridden to 'Manual'.. Automatic consumption at production start depends on the effective consumption method, which can be set at the item level but overridden on the BOM line. If the BOM line is set to 'Manual', it overrides the item's 'Start' setting, requiring manual consumption. Therefore, checking the BOM line configuration is essential to resolve the issue.

Answer

The item's tracking dimension group is not set to 'Serial'.

Answer

The production order type is set to 'Job' instead of 'Process'.

Answer

The production order's status is 'Created' instead of 'Started'.

Question 3

A company wants to use the Vendor Collaboration module in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They need to allow vendors to view and respond to purchase orders. Which security role should be assigned to the vendor users?

Accepted Answer

Vendor (external). The Vendor Collaboration module requires external vendor users to have the 'Vendor (external)' security role. This role provides limited access specifically to the vendor collaboration workspace, allowing vendors to view and respond to purchase orders without exposing internal data or granting excessive privileges. It is the correct role for this scenario.

Answer

Purchasing agent

Answer

System administrator

Answer

Accounts payable clerk

Question 4

A manufacturing company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The production planner needs to schedule production orders for a product that has a formula with two active ingredients, one of which is a catalyst that is consumed in small quantities but is critical. The planner wants to ensure that the system automatically adjusts the required quantity of the catalyst based on the batch size of the production order. Which configuration should the planner use?

Accepted Answer

Set the 'Variable' consumption option on the formula line for the catalyst.. The correct configuration is to set the 'Variable' consumption option on the formula line. This ensures that the required quantity of the catalyst is recalculated based on the batch size of the production order, maintaining the correct proportion. Fixed consumption would not adjust, and step or per series options are for different consumption patterns.

Answer

Set the 'Fixed' consumption option on the formula line for the catalyst.

Answer

Set the 'Step' consumption option on the formula line for the catalyst.

Answer

Set the 'Per series' option on the formula line for the catalyst.

Question 5

A company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They have a warehouse that uses license plate numbers to track inventory. A warehouse worker needs to move a pallet from a bulk location to a picking location. The worker scans the license plate and the system suggests a move. Which type of work order is created when the worker confirms the move?

Accepted Answer

Movement work order. The correct answer is a movement work order. Movement work orders are generated for internal warehouse transfers that are not tied to inbound or outbound processes. When a worker scans a license plate and confirms a move from bulk to picking, the system creates a movement work order to track the relocation and update inventory locations.

Answer

Inbound work order

Answer

Outbound work order

Answer

Replenishment work order

Question 6

A company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to manage their warehouse operations. They have implemented license plate numbers for tracking inventory. A warehouse worker needs to move a pallet (license plate) from a bulk location to a picking location. The worker uses the Warehouse Management mobile app to perform the movement. Which work creation process should be configured to allow this movement without creating a pick or put-away work?

Accepted Answer

Set up a movement work order type and configure a menu item that uses the 'Movement' work creation method.. The correct answer is to set up a movement work order type and configure a menu item that uses the 'Movement' work creation method. In Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, movement work allows warehouse workers to move inventory between locations without creating pick or put-away work. This is ideal for ad-hoc movements such as moving a pallet from a bulk location to a picking location. The mobile device menu item with the 'Movement' work creation method enables the worker to scan the license plate and specify the from and to locations. The system creates a movement work order, which when completed, updates the inventory location. This process does not generate pick or put-away work, meeting the requirement.

Answer

Create a transfer order and process it through the warehouse management mobile app using the 'Transfer order picking' and 'Transfer order receiving' menu items.

Answer

Use the 'Inventory movement' journal in the Inventory management module to move the license plate and update the location.

Answer

Configure a replenishment work order type and set up a replenishment menu item to move the license plate from bulk to picking location.

Question 7

A distribution company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with Warehouse Management. They want to ensure that when receiving a purchase order, the system automatically generates a putaway work for items that are not already in the warehouse. Which configuration is required to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Configure a work template with a work order type of 'Purchase order' and include a putaway work type.. To automatically create putaway work when receiving a purchase order, the system must have a work template configured for the purchase order work order type that includes a putaway work type. This template is used by the work creation process to generate the appropriate work. Without it, no putaway work will be created, and items would remain in the receiving location.

Answer

Create a mobile device menu item for putaway and assign it to the warehouse worker.

Answer

Enable the 'Generate putaway work' option in the Warehouse management parameters.

Answer

Set up a location directive with a query that filters on the item number and warehouse.

Question 8

A manufacturer uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They need to track the cost of a raw material that fluctuates daily. The material is stored in a single warehouse but issued to production at standard cost. They want to update the standard cost periodically without manual journal entries. Which cost accounting approach should they use?

Accepted Answer

Standard cost with cost roll-up and periodic revaluation. Standard cost with cost roll-up and periodic revaluation is designed for environments where items are issued at a fixed standard cost. The roll-up recalculates the standard based on current component costs, and revaluation adjusts inventory and variances without manual journals. This matches the need to update standards periodically while maintaining stable production costing.

Answer

Moving average

Answer

LIFO

Answer

FIFO

Question 9

A company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They need to ensure that when a purchase order is confirmed, the system automatically creates a warehouse work for put-away. Which configuration is required to achieve this?

Accepted Answer

Configure a work template with a work order type of 'Purchase order' and assign it to the warehouse.. Automatic creation of put-away work upon purchase order confirmation requires a work template with the work order type 'Purchase order' assigned to the warehouse. This template, along with location directives, determines how work is generated. Other settings, such as parameters on the purchase order line or in Procurement and sourcing, do not control work creation.

Answer

Set the 'Put-away work' option to 'Yes' on the purchase order line.

Answer

Enable the 'Automatic work creation' parameter in the Warehouse management parameters.

Answer

Enable the 'Generate work' checkbox in the Procurement and sourcing parameters.

Question 10

A company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to manage its warehouse operations. They have implemented license plate receiving. A warehouse worker receives a purchase order for 100 units of an item. The worker creates a license plate (LP) and receives the full quantity onto that LP. The worker then needs to move the LP to a final storage location. Which process should the worker follow to ensure the LP is moved correctly and inventory is updated?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'Put away' mobile device flow, scanning the LP and confirming the put-away to the final location.. In license plate receiving, after receiving items onto an LP, the correct process to move the LP to a final storage location is to use the 'Put away' mobile device flow. This flow creates put-away work, updates the LP's location, and ensures inventory is correctly tracked. It integrates with the warehouse management system to maintain accurate inventory and location data.

Answer

Manually update the LP's location in the 'License plate' form in the warehouse management module.

Answer

Use the 'License plate movement' mobile device flow to move the LP from the receiving location to the final location.

Answer

Create a transfer order to move the LP from the receiving location to the final location.

Question 11

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.

Question 12

A company is implementing the Transportation Management module in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They need to set up a rate route that applies a fuel surcharge based on the current fuel index. The transportation manager must configure the rate route to dynamically adjust the surcharge. Which two components must be configured to enable this dynamic fuel surcharge? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Fuel index. To enable a dynamic fuel surcharge in Transportation Management, two key components are required: the fuel index, which provides the fuel price data for calculations, and the fuel surcharge, which defines how the surcharge is computed and applied. Together, they allow the rate route to adjust the surcharge based on current fuel prices.

Sales order

Answer

All sales orders

Question 14

A company uses Transportation Management in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They have a route with multiple stops. They need to ensure that the system calculates the mileage between stops using actual road distances rather than straight-line distances. Which configuration should they set up?

Accepted Answer

Configure a mileage engine that uses a web service for road distances.. Transportation Management uses mileage engines to calculate distances between stops. To use actual road distances, you must configure a mileage engine that integrates with an external mapping service. This engine is then associated with the carrier or transportation method. The system will then call the service to get road distances, ensuring accurate mileage for rating and routing.

Answer

Set the 'Distance calculation' method to 'Road' on the route.

Answer

Enable the 'Real-time mileage' option on the load planning workbench.

Answer

Enable the 'Use road distances' parameter in Transportation Management parameters.

Question 15

A company uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with the Warehouse Management module. They are implementing a new process for handling returns. They need to configure the system so that when a return order is created, the system automatically creates put-away work for the returned items to a designated returns location. Which two configurations are required to achieve this? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Set up a location directive for the work order type 'Return order' with an action to put away to the returns location.. To automatically create put-away work for return orders, you need a work template for the 'Return order' work order type that includes a put step, and a location directive for the same work order type that directs items to the returns location. These two configurations enable the system to generate and direct put-away work when a return order is processed.

Answer

Enable the 'Automatic return order processing' parameter in the warehouse management parameters.

Answer

Set up a wave template for returns that includes a put-away step.

Answer

Configure a reservation hierarchy that includes the returns location as the first dimension.
