Correct answer & explanation
✓
Master planning
(Master planning) is correct because Master planning in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management performs material requirements planning (MRP) that can automatically generate planned purchase orders for missing components and reschedule production orders based on material availability. Option A (Warehouse management) is incorrect because it focuses on warehouse operations like receiving, putaway, and picking, not on planning. Option C (Product configuration) is incorrect as it is used for configurable products in a configure-to-order scenario. Option D (Inventory management) is incorrect because it handles inventory transactions, counting, and adjustments, not planning or automation of purchase orders.
