MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps
A global manufacturer uses Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations with multiple production sites. They need to manage complex bills of materials (BOMs) that include both manufactured and purchased components. They want to ensure that when a BOM is changed, the system automatically re-plans production orders and re-calculates material requirements. Which feature should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse production control (which handles order execution) with master planning (which handles automated re-planning), leading them to select production control because they think it 'controls' production changes, but it lacks the MRP engine for automatic requirement recalculation.
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
✓
Master planning
Master planning in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations is the correct feature because it automatically recalculates material requirements and regenerates planned production orders when a bill of materials (BOM) is changed. It uses demand-driven or MRP-based logic to explode the BOM, net available inventory, and create new planned orders for both manufactured and purchased components, ensuring supply matches updated demand across multiple production sites.
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
Why this is correct
Master planning can be set to automatically re-plan when BOM changes are detected, updating material and production requirements.
- ✗
Product configuration
Why it's wrong here
Product configuration is for variant-based products, not for re-planning on BOM changes.
- ✗
Production control
Why it's wrong here
Production control manages shop floor execution, not automatic re-planning.
- ✗
Inventory management
Why it's wrong here
Inventory management tracks stock levels, not BOM change impact.
