MB-920 Describe Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Practice Question
A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management for production. They want to automatically create production orders when sales orders are entered for make-to-order items. Which planning method should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse 'master planning with automatic firming' as the method for creating production orders, but it is actually a scheduling and firming feature that works in conjunction with MTO planning, not a standalone planning method.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Make-to-order (MTO) planning
Make-to-order (MTO) planning is the correct method because it directly links sales orders to production orders, automatically generating production orders when a sales order is entered for a make-to-order item. This ensures that production is triggered only when demand exists, aligning with the company's requirement for make-to-order scenarios in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
