MB-330 Implement Warehouse and Transportation Management Practice Test 3 — 15 Questions

Question 1

You are implementing warehouse management for a company that uses automatic release of sales orders to the warehouse. A sales order is stuck in 'Released' status but no work has been created. You check the wave template and see that it includes a 'Create work' step with a work template assigned. The wave is created but remains in 'Created' status. What is the most likely cause?

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

Accepted Answer

The wave template is missing a 'Release wave' step or the wave is not set to process automatically.. Automatic release of sales orders creates a wave, but the wave must be processed to execute steps like 'Create work'. Processing occurs automatically only if the wave template includes a 'Release wave' step and the wave is set to process automatically. Without that, the wave stays in 'Created' status, and no work is generated, leaving the sales order without warehouse work.

Answer

The wave template's 'Create work' step is not configured to run automatically.

Answer

The work template assigned to the wave template has no valid work order type for sales orders.

Answer

The wave template does not have a 'Release wave' step.

Question 2

You are the functional consultant for a warehouse that uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Warehouse Management. The warehouse manager wants to prevent workers from closing a work order if any of its work lines remain open, and to require a reason code when a worker reports a short pick. Which configuration should you set up to meet these requirements?

Accepted Answer

Configure the mobile device menu item with 'Prevent closing work' set to Yes and enable 'Reason code required' for short picks.. The mobile device menu item provides granular control over worker actions. Setting 'Prevent closing work' to Yes ensures a work order cannot be closed while any work lines remain open, and enabling 'Reason code required' for short picks forces a reason code when a worker picks less than the required quantity. These settings directly address the manager's needs without impacting other unrelated warehouse processes.

Answer

Configure work policies with 'Allow split work' enabled and 'Record short pick' disabled.

Answer

Set up mobile device menu items with the 'Allow over-picking' option turned off and a reason code requirement for short picks.

Answer

Enable 'Work line validation' in the warehouse management parameters and set 'Require reason code' on the work class.

Question 3

A warehouse manager wants to enforce that all outbound sales order picking for a specific high-value item is performed only from a designated secure location. The item is stored in multiple locations within warehouse WH11. You need to configure the system so that when a sales order for this item is released, the work created always directs the picker to the secure location first, regardless of other available inventory. What should you configure?

Accepted Answer

Set up a location directive with a query that filters on the item number and the location profile for the secure location, and assign it to the sales order picking work order type.. A location directive for sales order picking evaluates location queries to determine where inventory should be picked. By creating a directive that filters on the specific item and the secure location profile, and assigning it to the sales order picking work order type, the system will only generate pick work for that secure location. This ensures the picker is always directed there first, satisfying the high-value item security requirement.

Answer

Set the item's default receiving location to the secure location and enable 'Use default location' on the item's warehouse management settings.

Answer

Configure a location directive with a fixed location list that includes the secure location and all other picking locations, and set the sequence number to prioritize the secure location.

Answer

Create a new work class for the secure location and assign it to the item's storage dimension group, then set the work class to 'Secure'.

Question 4

A warehouse manager in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management wants to enforce that all outbound picking work for a specific warehouse must use a two-step process: first pick to a staging location, then load onto the truck. The manager configures the work template to have two pick work order lines. During testing, the system creates only a single pick work order line. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The work template does not have a second pick work order line defined with a valid location directive.. The work template dictates the structure of work created during wave processing. For a two-step picking process, the template must contain two pick lines, each with a valid location directive to determine the pick location. If the second pick line is absent or misconfigured, only the first pick line is generated, leading to the observed single-line work. Therefore, the missing second pick line is the root cause.

Answer

The wave template is configured with a wave step code that limits the number of work lines generated.

Answer

The second pick work order line is configured with a work class that does not match the work class valid on the location directive.

Answer

The work template is not assigned to the wave template used for outbound processing.

Question 5

You are setting up transportation management in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. A shipment must be rated using an external rating engine that returns a cost based on distance and weight. The company wants to use this rating to compare against internal rates and then select the cheapest carrier. Which feature should you configure to integrate the external rating engine?

Accepted Answer

Rating profile with a custom X++ plug-in. To integrate an external rating engine, you must create a custom X++ plug-in that implements the rating interface and configure a rating profile to use it. This plug-in can call the external service, passing shipment details and receiving the cost. The rating profile is then used during rating processes, allowing comparison with internal rates. This is the standard extensibility point for external rating in transportation management.

Answer

Load planning workbench with a rate shopping query

Answer

Transportation management parameters with 'Use external rating service' enabled

Answer

Rate route workbench

Question 6

You are configuring transportation management in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. A carrier offers a discounted rate for shipments that are booked at least 48 hours in advance. You need to set up the system so that the discounted rate is automatically applied when a load is rated, but only if the load's planned shipping date is more than 48 hours from the current date. What should you configure?

Accepted Answer

Configure a rate master with a rate break that uses the 'Booking date' and 'Shipping date' fields to calculate lead time, and set a condition for lead time greater than 48 hours.. Rate masters and rate breaks in transportation management support conditions that can reference date fields. By configuring a rate break that calculates the difference between the booking date and the shipping date, and setting a condition for a lead time greater than 48 hours, the system can automatically apply the discounted rate when a load is rated and the condition is satisfied. This provides the required automatic discount based on advance booking.

Answer

Set up a transportation tender with a rate master that includes a rate break for advance booking, and configure the load's shipping date policy to require 48 hours' notice.

Answer

Create a rate base with a rate engine that uses a date range and a minimum lead time of 48 hours, and assign it to the carrier's rate master.

Answer

Create a rate route with a rate master that has a rate break for shipments booked more than 48 hours in advance, using the 'Lead time' field on the rate break.

Question 7

You are configuring a new warehouse for a distribution center. The warehouse manager wants to minimize travel time when workers pick multiple items for a single outbound order. You decide to enable cluster picking. Which feature must be configured on the mobile device menu item to allow workers to pick multiple orders at once?

Accepted Answer

Enable the 'Use cluster picking' toggle and assign a cluster profile.. Cluster picking is enabled by turning on the 'Use cluster picking' setting on the mobile device menu item and assigning a cluster profile. The cluster profile defines how many orders can be picked together and how positions are identified. This reduces travel time by allowing a worker to pick items for multiple orders in a single pass, which directly addresses the warehouse manager's goal.

Answer

Set the 'Work order type' to 'Cluster' on the mobile device menu item.

Answer

Configure a location directive with a 'Cluster picking' strategy.

Answer

Set the 'Work creation process' to 'Cluster picking'.

Question 8

A warehouse supervisor needs to ensure that when workers use the mobile device to receive items against a purchase order, they are required to confirm the quantity for each item before the receipt is posted. Which mobile device menu item setting should be configured to enforce this?

Accepted Answer

Enable the 'Confirm quantity' option on the mobile device menu item.. The 'Confirm quantity' setting on a mobile device menu item is specifically designed to require workers to confirm the quantity of items they are handling. When enabled for a receiving menu item, the mobile device will display the expected quantity and prompt the worker to confirm or adjust it before the receipt is processed. This ensures that quantities are verified, meeting the supervisor's requirement.

Answer

Set the 'Quantity' field to 'Mandatory' on the mobile device menu item's receiving policy.

Answer

Set the 'License plate' field to 'Mandatory' on the mobile device menu item.

Answer

Configure the 'Work confirmation' policy to 'Require quantity confirmation' on the warehouse management parameters.

Question 9

A warehouse worker is using the Warehouse Management mobile app to perform a sales order picking operation. The worker scans a license plate that contains multiple items, but the system only picks a subset of the items on the license plate. The warehouse manager wants the worker to be able to pick the entire license plate at once. Which mobile device menu item setting should be configured to allow picking the entire license plate?

Accepted Answer

Allow picking by license plate. To enable picking an entire license plate in one step, the mobile device menu item must have the 'Allow picking by license plate' setting enabled. This setting instructs the mobile app to treat the license plate as a single unit for picking, automatically selecting all items on it that are part of the work. Other settings like over-picking or splitting do not provide this capability.

Answer

Allow picking of license plate

Answer

Allow over-picking

Answer

Allow splitting of work

Question 10

A distribution company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Warehouse Management. The outbound manager reports that packing stations are producing inconsistent carton labels because workers can pack items from multiple shipments at the same station, and the system does not validate that a scanned item actually belongs to the shipment currently being packed. You need to enforce that only items belonging to the current shipment can be packed at a station. What should you configure?

Accepted Answer

Set the 'Shipment validation' policy to 'Validate shipment' on the container packing policy assigned to the packing station.. The requirement is to stop workers from packing items that do not belong to the shipment currently open at the station. Container packing policies contain a shipment validation setting that, when set to validate, causes the system to reject scans of items not tied to the active shipment. This enforces shipment integrity at the packing station while leaving work policies and menu items unchanged.

Answer

Create a new mobile device menu item of type 'Packing' and assign it to the packing workers' menu.

Answer

Configure the packing station with a 'Shipment' location profile and enable 'Allow mixed shipments' on the station.

Answer

Enable the 'Audit packing' option on the packing station's work policy.

Question 11

You are implementing warehouse management for a company that uses automatic release of sales orders to the warehouse. A sales order is stuck in 'Released' status but no work has been created. You check the wave template and see that it includes a 'Create work' step with a work template assigned. The wave is created but remains in 'Created' status. What is the most likely cause?

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

Accepted Answer

The warehouse must be enabled for warehouse management processes.. Automatic work creation during sales order release requires that the warehouse is enabled for warehouse management processes and that the items are associated with a storage dimension group that includes the warehouse dimension. These two configurations ensure that the warehouse management framework is active and that items are tracked at the warehouse level, allowing the system to generate work. Without these, the release process will not create work.

Answer

The sales order must be created with a status of 'Confirmed' before release.

Answer

The warehouse must have at least one location directive configured for sales order picking.

Answer

The sales order must be assigned to a wave template that includes a work creation step.

Question 12

You are configuring location directives for a warehouse that uses advanced warehouse management in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The warehouse has a dedicated area for high-value items that requires a specific putaway location. You need to ensure that the location directive selects only locations within that area when the item is flagged as high-value. Which type of query should you use in the location directive to filter locations based on the item's attribute?

Accepted Answer

Item query. To filter locations based on an item's attribute, you must use an item query in the location directive. The item query allows you to specify conditions on item fields, such as an item group or a custom attribute indicating high value. Once the item query identifies the high-value items, the location query can then limit the locations to the designated area. Using an item query ensures that the directive applies only to the relevant items.

Answer

Work query

Answer

Location query

Answer

Warehouse query

Question 13

You are implementing transportation management for a company that ships hazardous materials. Federal regulations require that a shipping document (Bill of Lading) include specific information for hazardous materials, such as UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, and packing group. You need to ensure that this information is automatically printed on the Bill of Lading when a load containing hazardous items is shipped. What should you configure?

Accepted Answer

Configure the item's hazardous material details and assign a Bill of Lading template that includes the hazardous materials fields.. To automatically print hazardous materials information on the Bill of Lading, you must first ensure that the hazardous material details are configured for the item. This includes UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, and packing group. Then, you assign a Bill of Lading template that includes fields for these details. When the load is shipped, the system generates the Bill of Lading with the hazardous materials information, meeting the regulatory requirement.

Answer

Create a custom SSRS report for the Bill of Lading that includes hazardous materials data and deploy it as the default Bill of Lading report.

Answer

Enable the 'Hazardous materials' parameter in the transportation management parameters and select the default Bill of Lading format.

Answer

Set up a document routing rule that triggers when a load is shipped and includes the hazardous materials report in the print settings.

Question 14

You are a functional consultant in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. A warehouse supervisor needs to ensure that when workers pick items for outbound sales orders, they are directed to pick from the location with the earliest expiration date first. You have already set up location directives and work templates. What should you configure to enforce this picking strategy?

Accepted Answer

On the location directive, create a query that sorts the locations by expiration date in ascending order.. To enforce picking from the location with the earliest expiration date, you configure a location directive with a query that sorts locations by expiration date in ascending order. The query determines the sequence in which locations are considered. This is the standard way to implement FEFO (First Expired, First Out) in warehouse management. Other settings like work templates or item model groups do not control the picking sequence.

Answer

On the item model group, set the 'Picking method' to 'FEFO'.

Answer

On the work template, set the 'Pick strategy' to 'FEFO'.

Answer

On the location directive, set the 'Strategy' to 'FEFO' and assign a query that sorts locations by expiration date.

Question 15

You are a functional consultant configuring transportation management for a company that ships hazardous materials via multiple carriers. The company needs to automatically apply a specific accessorial charge when a load contains items classified as hazardous. What should you configure to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Create a transportation management rate engine with a rate base of 'Load' and a rate break that adds the accessorial charge when the load contains hazardous items.. Transportation management rating uses a rate engine where rate bases define the foundation of the calculation, and rate breaks add adjustments. To apply an accessorial charge for hazardous materials, the rate engine must evaluate load composition. The rate base 'Load' allows conditions on load attributes, including hazardous material flags, enabling automatic addition of the charge.

Answer

Create a rate route workbench rule that adds the accessorial charge based on the load's total weight.

Answer

Set up a freight accessorial charge with a condition that references the hazardous material attribute of the items on the load.

Answer

Configure an accessorial charge master with a mileage-based rate and assign it to the carrier's rate profile.
