A medical device manufacturer uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. They are subject to strict regulatory requirements requiring complete traceability of each device to its raw material lots. The company uses process manufacturing with batch orders. Each finished device has a unique serial number that must be linked to the lot numbers of all raw materials used. The company also needs to maintain a genealogy of components. You need to configure the system to capture this traceability. You have the following options: A. Enable serial tracking for the finished device and lot tracking for raw materials. Use the batch order to record the consumption of raw material lots against the serial number. B. Use the Product master to assign a serial number to the finished good and manually enter lot numbers in a free text field. C. Use the Warehouse Management module to create location labels that include serial and lot information. D. Use the Quality management module to create quality orders for each batch and associate them with serial numbers. Which option should you choose?
Enabling serial tracking for the finished device and lot tracking for raw materials allows the batch order to record the consumption of raw material lots against the serial number of the finished good. This captures the full genealogy and traceability required.
Why this answer
It properly uses serial and lot tracking. In Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, enabling serial tracking for the finished device and lot tracking for raw materials allows the batch order to record the consumption of raw material lots against the serial number of the finished good. This captures the full genealogy and traceability required.
Option A is incorrect because quality orders are used for inspections, not for capturing traceability relationships. Option C is incorrect because manual entry of lot numbers in a free text field is not an integrated or reliable method for traceability. Option D is incorrect because location labels in Warehouse Management do not capture the genealogy of components.
