MB-920 Describe Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Practice Question
A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and wants to integrate with an external transportation management system (TMS) to get real-time shipping rates. Which integration approach should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse general integration tools like OData or Power Automate with the specialized, built-in rate shopping functionality of the transportation management module, assuming any API-based integration is sufficient without recognizing the need for rate comparison logic.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure the transportation management module to use rate shopping
The transportation management module in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management includes built-in rate shopping functionality that can integrate with external TMS providers to retrieve real-time shipping rates. This feature uses rate route workbenches and rate engines to compare rates from multiple carriers dynamically, making it the native and intended approach for real-time rate integration.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use OData endpoints to expose carrier data
Why it's wrong here
OData endpoints expose data, but real-time rate shopping is a TMS feature.
- ✗
Use Power Automate to call a third-party API
Why it's wrong here
Power Automate can be used, but the native TMS integration is more streamlined.
- ✗
Use data entities to import rates from a flat file
Why it's wrong here
Data entities are for batch data exchange, not real-time rate lookup.
- ✓
Configure the transportation management module to use rate shopping
Why this is correct
The TMS module can be configured to get real-time rates from external carriers.
