MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps

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

Reorder point

The reorder point (Option D) is the correct parameter to configure for automatic ordering when inventory drops below a certain level. In Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, the reorder point defines a minimum inventory level that triggers a planned order for replenishment. Coverage groups (Option A) define planning parameters for groups of items but do not directly trigger automatic ordering. Safety stock (Option B) is a buffer level to protect against uncertainty but does not initiate orders. Forecast (Option C) is used for demand estimation, not for automatic replenishment.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Coverage group

    Why it's wrong here

    Coverage groups define planning parameters for groups of items, but they do not directly trigger automatic ordering when inventory drops below a level. The specific parameter for automatic ordering is the reorder point.

  • Safety stock

    Why it's wrong here

    Safety stock is a buffer quantity held to protect against demand variability or supply disruptions, but it does not automatically trigger orders.

  • Forecast

    Why it's wrong here

    Forecast is used for demand estimation and planning, not for automatic ordering based on inventory levels.

  • Reorder point

    Why this is correct

    The reorder point defines a minimum inventory level; when inventory drops below this level, the system generates a planned order to replenish stock, addressing the issue of delays due to lack of automatic ordering.
