MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps
A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to manage inventory across multiple warehouses. They want to implement a strategy where fast-moving items are stored closer to the shipping dock to reduce travel time. Currently, all items are stored randomly. You need to configure the system to automatically assign storage locations based on item movement frequency. The company uses advanced warehouse management. What should you do?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse location directives (which control putaway and storage) with wave processing (which controls picking and shipment release), leading them to select Option B incorrectly.
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
✓
Configure location directives to direct putaway to locations near the shipping dock for items with high movement frequency.
Location directives in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management automatically guide putaway processes by evaluating criteria such as item movement frequency. By configuring a location directive with a query that identifies fast-moving items and directing them to locations near the shipping dock, the system ensures efficient, rule-based storage without manual intervention. This directly addresses the requirement to reduce travel time using advanced warehouse management capabilities.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure location directives to direct putaway to locations near the shipping dock for items with high movement frequency.
Why this is correct
Location directives automate putaway based on criteria.
- ✗
Set up wave processing to prioritize fast-moving items during picking.
Why it's wrong here
Wave processing is for outbound picking, not inbound putaway.
- ✗
Define inventory statuses and enable 'Auto-report as finished' to trigger movement.
Why it's wrong here
Auto-report as finished is for production, not putaway.
- ✗
Create a new inventory status for fast-moving items and manually move them to desired locations.
Why it's wrong here
Manual movement is not automatic.
