MB-920 Describe Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Practice Question
A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with demand-driven material requirements planning (DDMRP). They notice that the system is not generating replenishment orders for certain items even though the stock is below the reorder point. What could be the issue?
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
✓
The item's planning frequency is not set in the buffer profile.
In DDMRP, the planning frequency must be configured on the buffer profile for each item. If the planning frequency is not set, the system will not generate replenishment orders even if stock falls below the reorder point. Option A is incorrect because regenerative mode is not required for DDMRP; DDMRP typically uses net-change planning. Option B is incorrect because 'dynamic planning' is not a concept in DDMRP; the issue is related to buffer profile configuration. Option D is incorrect because coverage groups are used for traditional master planning, but DDMRP does not rely on coverage groups; it uses buffer profiles and demand-driven planning.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Master planning is not set to regenerative mode.
Why it's wrong here
Master planning does not need to be in regenerative mode for DDMRP; DDMRP uses its own scheduling logic, so this is not the issue.
- ✗
The item is excluded from dynamic planning.
Why it's wrong here
DDMRP does not use 'dynamic planning'; items are not excluded from it. The problem is with the buffer profile configuration.
- ✓
The item's planning frequency is not set in the buffer profile.
Why this is correct
The planning frequency field in the buffer profile determines how often replenishment orders are generated. If not set, no orders are created even when stock is below the reorder point.
- ✗
The item's coverage group is not assigned to a master plan.
Why it's wrong here
DDMRP does not require coverage groups to be assigned to a master plan; items are managed via buffer profiles and decoupled lead times.
