MB-920 Describe Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Practice Question
This MB-920 practice question tests your understanding of describe dynamics 365 supply chain management. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A small manufacturing company recently implemented Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to manage their production. They produce custom furniture and want to use production orders to track costs and materials. The production manager creates a production order for a new chair design. However, when they try to estimate the production order, they receive an error: 'No active bill of materials (BOM) version exists for the item.' The item (chair) has a BOM, but the BOM version is set to 'Draft' status. The manager needs to proceed with the production order as soon as possible. What should the administrator do to resolve this issue?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Change the BOM version status from 'Draft' to 'Approved' and then 'Active'.
The BOM version must be approved and activated before it can be used on production orders. Setting to 'Active' status makes it usable. Deleting and recreating would waste time. Copying from another item may introduce errors. Changing the production order to use the route only bypasses the BOM requirement but materials won't be tracked.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✓
Change the BOM version status from 'Draft' to 'Approved' and then 'Active'.
Why this is correct
Activating the BOM version makes it available for production orders.
Related concept
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
✗
Copy the BOM from a similar item and assign it to the chair.
Why it's wrong here
Copy may not match the chair design and still requires activation.
✗
Delete the existing BOM version and create a new one with 'Active' status directly.
Why it's wrong here
Deleting and recreating is unnecessary and time-consuming.
✗
Set the production order to not require a BOM by clearing the BOM field.
Why it's wrong here
Bypassing BOM would prevent material tracking.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
→Underline the problem statement mentally.
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A startup's cloud architect reviews their monthly bill and notices costs are higher than expected for a long-running batch job. Switching from on-demand instances to Reserved Instances — or using Spot/Preemptible VMs — can reduce compute costs by up to 72 %. Questions like this test whether you understand the tradeoffs between commitment, flexibility, and cost across cloud pricing models.
