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

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.

{
  "ProdOrder": "PRD-0050",
  "Item": "FGI-200",
  "Quantity": 100,
  "BOMId": "BOM-005",
  "RouteId": "ROUTE-005",
  "ExplosionDate": "2026-03-15",
  "Reservation": "Manual"
}

Refer to the exhibit. A production order in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management has Reservation set to 'Manual'. What does this mean for material availability?

⚠ Common exam trap

Test-takers frequently confuse the 'Reservation' setting with the 'Flushing principle' or 'BOM explosion date', leading candidates to think that manual reservation automatically triggers consumption or is tied to the BOM calculation date.

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

✓

Materials must be manually reserved by the user

When the Reservation field on a production order is set to 'Manual', materials are not automatically reserved or consumed. Instead, the user must explicitly reserve materials (e.g., via the production order's 'Reserve' action) before or during production. This ensures that material availability is controlled manually, preventing automatic allocation from 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.

✗
Materials are automatically reserved when the order is released
Why it's wrong here
Automatic reservation requires 'Automatic' setting.
✗
Materials are automatically consumed during production
Why it's wrong here
Consumption is separate from reservation; manual reservation does not affect consumption.
✓
Materials must be manually reserved by the user
Why this is correct
Manual reservation means the user must reserve materials explicitly.
✗
Materials are reserved based on the BOM explosion date
Why it's wrong here
Explosion date determines when BOM is calculated, not reservation.
