MB-920 Practice Question: Describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps
This MB-920 practice question tests your understanding of describe the core capabilities of the finance and operations apps. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
You are a system administrator for a company that uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The warehouse manager reports that pickers are frequently going to the wrong locations for items, causing delays. The warehouse uses a directed putaway and picking process. Currently, location profiles are set up but not optimized. The manager wants to ensure that items are stored in locations that minimize travel time and that pickers are directed to the correct locations. The warehouse has 10,000 SKUs and high turnover. Which configuration should you implement?
Clue words in this question
Noticing these words before you look at the options changes how you read each choice.
Clue: "minimum / minimize"
Why it matters: Asks for the least resource use — fewest addresses, smallest subnet, lowest overhead. Eliminate over-provisioned options even if they would technically work.
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use the location stocking limits and zone-based slotting to assign items to optimal locations based on velocity.
Option B is correct because location stocking limits and zone-based slotting in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management allow you to assign items to optimal locations based on velocity (pick frequency). This ensures high-turnover items are stored in easily accessible zones, minimizing travel time and directing pickers to correct locations, directly addressing the warehouse manager's requirements.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✗
Configure wave processing for order picking.
Why it's wrong here
Wave processing manages order picking but not storage location optimization.
✓
Use the location stocking limits and zone-based slotting to assign items to optimal locations based on velocity.
Why this is correct
Zone-based slotting optimizes storage locations based on item velocity, reducing travel time.
Clue confirmation
The clue word "minimum / minimize" in the question point toward this answer.
Related concept
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
✗
Implement barcode scanning for all warehouse transactions.
Why it's wrong here
Barcode scanning helps accuracy but not location optimization.
✗
Set up location profiles with fixed locations for all SKUs.
Why it's wrong here
Fixed locations may not optimize travel time for high-turnover items.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates confuse operational features like wave processing or barcode scanning with strategic inventory placement, failing to recognize that slotting is the specific capability designed to optimize location assignment based on velocity.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Zone-based slotting in Dynamics 365 uses item velocity (e.g., pick frequency per day) and location dimensions (e.g., capacity, physical dimensions) to automatically assign items to zones (e.g., fast-pick, bulk). The system recalculates slotting during batch runs, adjusting locations as velocity changes, which is critical for high-turnover warehouses. Without slotting, location profiles alone cannot enforce optimal placement, leading to the reported issue of pickers going to wrong locations.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
