MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.

{
  "name": "ContosoSupplyChain",
  "location": "europe",
  "sku": "Premium",
  "parameters": {
    "productionControl": {
      "routeNetwork": "Route",

    },
    "masterPlanning": {
      "dynamicPlan": "Yes",
      "frozenPlan": "No"
    }
  }
}

Refer to the exhibit. A company configures Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with the parameters shown. They notice that material requirements planning (MRP) is recalculating every time a sales order is entered, causing performance issues. Which parameter should be changed?

⚠ Common exam trap

Candidates often confuse 'ExplosionMode' with 'DynamicPlan' or 'FrozenPlan', assuming those parameters control the frequency of MRP recalculation, when in fact they control planning horizons and time fences respectively.

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

✓

ExplosionMode

The 'ExplosionMode' parameter controls when MRP recalculates demand. Setting it to 'Always' causes MRP to regenerate every time a sales order is entered, leading to performance degradation. Changing it to 'Never' or 'MinMax' prevents unnecessary recalculations and improves system responsiveness.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

✓
ExplosionMode
Why this is correct
Setting explosionMode to 'Always' triggers MRP recalculation on every change; setting it to 'Never' or 'On change' improves performance.
✗
DynamicPlan
Why it's wrong here
DynamicPlan being 'Yes' is standard for real-time planning.
✗
RouteNetwork
Why it's wrong here
RouteNetwork defines the route sequence, not MRP recalculation frequency.
✗
FrozenPlan
Why it's wrong here
FrozenPlan is used to freeze a plan, not the root cause.
