MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps
A manufacturing company uses Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. They need to automatically adjust raw material orders when production schedules change. Which feature should they configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse master planning with inventory management features like journal posting or vendor collaboration, assuming manual adjustments or supplier communication are sufficient, when the question specifically requires an automated, schedule-driven adjustment capability.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Master planning
Master planning in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations is the correct feature because it uses demand and supply data to generate planned orders for raw materials. When production schedules change, master planning automatically recalculates material requirements and adjusts planned purchase orders to ensure inventory levels match the new schedule, preventing stockouts or overstock.
