Exhibit

{
  "SalesOrderId": "SO-2024-1001",
  "Customer": "Contoso Ltd.",
  "ItemNumber": "L-5000",
  "Quantity": 50,
  "Warehouse": "WH02",
  "ReservationMethod": "Manual",
  "OnHandQuantity": 40,
  "AvailableQuantity": 40
}

Refer to the exhibit. A sales representative tries to confirm a sales order for 50 units of item L-5000, but the system does not allow confirmation because the available quantity is only 40. The reservation method is set to Manual. What should the sales representative do to proceed with the order?

⚠ Common exam trap

A common mix-up: candidates assume changing the reservation method to Automatic will fix the immediate issue, but the system requires manual reservation for the current order regardless of the method setting, and the correct action is to manually reserve available stock and backorder the rest.

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

✓

Manually reserve 40 units and backorder the remaining 10

The reservation method is set to Manual, meaning the system does not automatically allocate inventory. The sales representative must manually reserve the available 40 units and backorder the remaining 10 units to proceed with the order, which aligns with the manual reservation process in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

✗
Create a purchase order for 10 units
Why it's wrong here
Creating a purchase order does not immediately solve the shortage.

Changing reservation method does not increase available quantity.

Reducing quantity is possible but not required; backordering is an option.
✓
Manually reserve 40 units and backorder the remaining 10
