MB-920 Describe Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Practice Question
A global manufacturer uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They produce high-value machinery and need to track the exact materials used in each finished good for service and warranty purposes. The company uses discrete manufacturing with production orders. Currently, the system estimates material consumption based on the bill of materials (BOM), but actual consumption may vary due to scrap or rework. The company wants to capture actual material consumption in real time on the shop floor using handheld scanners. You need to configure the system to allow shop floor workers to report material consumption against a production order. You have the following options: A. Use the Production floor execution interface and enable the 'Report as finished' and 'Report as consumed' options on the production order. B. Use the Warehouse Management mobile app to perform a raw material picking and consumption process via a mobile device menu item. C. Use the BOM version to force exact consumption and ignore variances. D. Use the Inventory adjustments journal to manually reduce raw material inventory after production. Which option should you choose?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use the Warehouse Management mobile app to perform a raw material picking and consumption process via a mobile device menu item.
The Warehouse Management mobile app can be configured with a menu item for raw material picking and consumption, allowing real-time scanning and actual consumption capture on the shop floor. Option A is incorrect because the Production floor execution interface is primarily for reporting progress and finishing, but consumption reporting via that interface does not provide the same real-time scanning capability as the warehouse mobile app. Option B is incorrect because the Inventory adjustments journal is a manual, after-the-fact process that does not capture consumption in real time and is prone to errors. Option D is incorrect because forcing exact consumption via the BOM version ignores actual variances such as scrap or rework, which defeats the purpose of tracking actual material usage.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use the Production floor execution interface and enable the 'Report as finished' and 'Report as consumed' options on the production order.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The Production floor execution interface is for reporting progress and finishing, but it does not provide the real-time material consumption scanning capability required for tracking actual usage with handheld scanners.
- ✗
Use the Inventory adjustments journal to manually reduce raw material inventory after production.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The Inventory adjustments journal is a manual process that requires post-production corrections, which is error-prone and does not allow real-time consumption capture on the shop floor.
- ✓
Use the Warehouse Management mobile app to perform a raw material picking and consumption process via a mobile device menu item.
Why this is correct
Correct. The Warehouse Management mobile app can be configured with a mobile device menu item for raw material picking and consumption, enabling workers to scan and report actual material usage in real time against production orders.
- ✗
Use the BOM version to force exact consumption and ignore variances.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Forcing exact consumption via the BOM version ignores variances due to scrap or rework, so it does not capture actual material consumption.
