MB-920 Describe Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Practice Question

Contoso Ltd. is a global manufacturer of industrial pumps. They use Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with warehouse management (WMS) enabled. The warehouse in Chicago has been experiencing frequent inventory discrepancies during cycle counting. The discrepancies are mostly for items stored in bulk locations (floor storage) with high movement volume. The warehouse manager suspects that the issue is related to how inventory transactions are processed during outbound picking. When pickers confirm a pick, the system immediately reduces on-hand inventory. However, the physical movement to the staging area often happens later, sometimes after the system confirmation. This timing difference leads to phantom inventory. The manager wants to avoid a full physical inventory and implement a solution that aligns system and physical movements without major process changes. They consider four options:

A. Enable negative inventory adjustments for bulk locations. B. Use the 'Registration' process instead of picking confirmation for outbound orders. C. Implement a staging location and use the 'Stage for packing' functionality to defer inventory reduction until the item is physically staged. D. Disable cycle counting for bulk locations and rely on annual physical counts.

Which option should Contoso implement?

⚠ Common exam trap

Candidates often confuse 'Registration' (which still reduces inventory at registration time) with a solution that defers reduction, or they may think enabling negative inventory is a valid workaround, when in fact it only masks the timing discrepancy without fixing the process alignment.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Implement a staging location and use the 'Stage for packing' functionality to defer inventory reduction until the item is physically staged.

Implementing a staging location with the 'Stage for packing' functionality allows the system to defer inventory reduction until the item is physically moved to the staging area. This aligns the system transaction with the physical movement, eliminating the phantom inventory caused by early picking confirmation. It solves the timing discrepancy without requiring major process changes or a full physical inventory.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Disable cycle counting for bulk locations and rely on annual physical counts.

    Why it's wrong here

    This removes visibility and does not fix the process issue.

  • Enable negative inventory adjustments for bulk locations.

    Why it's wrong here

    Negative adjustments would allow on-hand to go negative without solving the timing issue.

  • Implement a staging location and use the 'Stage for packing' functionality to defer inventory reduction until the item is physically staged.

    Why this is correct

    This aligns system deduction with physical movement to staging.

  • Use the 'Registration' process instead of picking confirmation for outbound orders.

    Why it's wrong here

    Registration is for inbound receipts, not outbound picking.
