MB-920 Describe Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Practice Question
A manufacturing company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The warehouse manager notices that a critical raw material is frequently out of stock, causing production delays. The planner wants to ensure that the material is reordered before stock hits zero. Which inventory planning feature should be configured to automatically generate replenishment orders based on forecasted demand and current inventory levels?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse cycle counting (a physical inventory check) with inventory planning, or think inventory adjustment journals can trigger automatic replenishment, when only master planning performs demand-driven order generation.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Master planning
Master planning in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is the correct feature because it uses forecasted demand, current inventory levels, and lead times to automatically generate replenishment orders (purchase orders or transfer orders) before stock hits zero. This prevents stockouts by planning net requirements and creating planned orders that can be firmed into actual orders.
