MB-920 Describe Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Practice Question
A distribution company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. Which TWO methods can be used to reduce the time taken to receive inbound shipments?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse cross-docking (a post-receipt strategy) with a receiving-time reduction method, or they mistakenly think quality orders (which add inspection delays) could speed up receiving.
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
✓
Use advanced shipping notice (ASN)
Advanced shipping notices (ASNs) allow the warehouse to receive shipment details before the physical arrival, enabling pre-receiving processing, staging, and labor planning. This reduces the time spent on data entry and verification during actual receipt, as the system can automatically match the ASN to the purchase order and initiate put-away workflows.
