MB-330 Implement Product Information Management Practice Question
A company is defining a new released product and wants the item to be excluded from inventory valuation postings because it is always expensed at purchase. Which configuration on the released product determines whether inventory transactions are posted to the general ledger?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse financial inventory dimension tracking with the Stocked product setting, when only the latter removes the item from inventory valuation postings.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Item model group with 'Stocked product' cleared, which excludes the item from inventory valuation postings.
The Stocked product setting on the item model group is the switch that determines whether an item participates in inventory valuation. Clearing it makes receipts and issues behave as expenses rather than inventory movements, which matches the company's intent to expense the item at purchase. Other settings control dimension tracking or physical availability, not valuation posting behavior.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Item model group with 'Stocked product' cleared and 'Physical negative inventory' disabled.
Why it's wrong here
Clearing Stocked product on the item model group affects whether the item is treated as stocked for inventory costing and physical updates, but it does not by itself remove general ledger postings. Physical negative inventory is a separate control over issuing more than is on hand. Neither setting is the field designed to exclude the item from inventory valuation postings.
- ✗
Storage dimension group with 'Financial inventory' cleared for Site and Warehouse.
Why it's wrong here
Clearing Financial inventory on the storage dimension group means those dimensions are tracked physically only, not financially. That affects how dimensions are posted on ledger entries, but it does not exempt the item from inventory valuation postings. The item would still be valued and posted to inventory accounts, so the requirement is not satisfied.
- ✓
Item model group with 'Stocked product' cleared, which excludes the item from inventory valuation postings.
Why this is correct
On the item model group, clearing the Stocked product option tells the system the item is not held in inventory for valuation purposes, so receipts and issues are expensed rather than posted to inventory accounts. This is the standard configuration for items that are always consumed or expensed at purchase while still being purchasable.
- ✗
Product type set to 'Service' on the product's default order settings.
Why it's wrong here
Product type (Item or Service) is set on the product itself, not on default order settings, and a Service product is not stocked in inventory at all. Changing the type would prevent inventory transactions entirely rather than merely excluding valuation postings, so it does not meet the requirement of expensing at purchase while retaining item behavior.
