MB-920 Production reservation Practice Question
You are a supply chain consultant for a mid-sized manufacturing company that uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The company produces electronic components and has two warehouses: one for raw materials (Warehouse A) and one for finished goods (Warehouse B). They have been experiencing frequent delays in production because raw materials are not available when needed, even though the materials are in stock at Warehouse A. The production scheduler reports that the system does not automatically reserve materials for production orders. Additionally, the warehouse manager wants to implement a policy where high-value raw materials are stored in a secure, locked area within Warehouse A, and only authorized workers can pick them. You need to configure the system to: (1) automatically reserve raw materials for production orders when they are firm planned; (2) restrict picking of high-value materials to specific workers. What should you do?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse production reservation settings in production order defaults (which only apply per order) versus the global setting in production control parameters that applies to all production orders when firm planned.
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
✓
Configure production reservation in the production control parameters to reserve materials automatically when production orders are firm planned. Create a new warehouse location for high-value items, and set up a mobile device menu item with a worker filter to restrict picking to authorized workers.
To automatically reserve raw materials for production orders when they are firm planned, you configure the production reservation setting in the Production control parameters (not in production order defaults or master planning). For restricting picking of high-value materials to specific workers, you create a dedicated warehouse location for those items and set up a mobile device menu item with a worker filter, so only authorized workers can perform picks from that location. Option D correctly combines both steps. Option A is incorrect because location profiles alone cannot restrict worker access; worker filters are needed. Option B incorrectly suggests using batch attributes and a separate warehouse, which is not the standard approach for access restriction. Option C is wrong because inventory status and quality orders do not restrict picking to specific workers.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Set up location profiles to mark the secure area as 'Restricted' and configure location directives to use these locations for high-value items. Enable production reservation in the production order defaults.
Why it's wrong here
Location profiles do not restrict worker access.
- ✗
Assign batch attributes to high-value materials and use batch reservation. Restrict picking by setting up a separate warehouse for high-value items.
Why it's wrong here
Batch attributes are for batch management, not worker restriction.
- ✗
Use inventory status to block high-value items and create a quality order to release them. Enable automatic reservation in master planning parameters.
Why it's wrong here
Inventory status blocks all users, not specific workers.
- ✓
Configure production reservation in the production control parameters to reserve materials automatically when production orders are firm planned. Create a new warehouse location for high-value items, and set up a mobile device menu item with a worker filter to restrict picking to authorized workers.
Why this is correct
Automates reservation and restricts picking via worker filter.
