MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps
This MB-920 practice question tests your understanding of describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
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?
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.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
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.
Related concept
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
✗
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.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that 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.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Location directives work by defining a sequence of query criteria and then applying a 'location directive action' that specifies the putaway strategy (e.g., 'nearest to dock'). The system evaluates item movement frequency through a configurable attribute like 'Movement frequency' or by using inventory turnover data stored in the product master. In a real-world scenario, this can be combined with location profiles that have physical capacity limits, ensuring fast movers are placed in easily accessible bins while preventing overstocking near the dock.

TExam Day Tips
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A media company stores terabytes of video archives that are accessed once a year for audit purposes. Moving these objects to a cold storage tier (Azure Archive, S3 Glacier, or Google Nearline) costs a fraction of hot storage. Questions like this test whether you understand storage tiers, access frequency tradeoffs, and retrieval latency requirements.
