MB-330 Implement Product Information Management Practice Question
A company is preparing to release a product to a legal entity. The product must be blocked from being added to purchase order lines but must remain available for sales order lines. Which configuration should be applied on the released product?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse a broad Stop on the item model group with a targeted Purchase blocked setting on the released product.
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
✓
Set the item's Purchase blocked field to Yes on the released product.
The Purchase blocked field on the released product is the targeted control that prevents purchase order line entry while keeping the item sellable. Broader item model group stops block all transaction types, default order type only influences defaults, and category hierarchies do not enforce purchase blocks. The correct configuration is therefore the specific block field on the released product.
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 the Procurement category hierarchy to a node with a purchase blocked flag.
Why it's wrong here
Category hierarchies group items for reporting and defaults, but they do not provide a purchase-blocked flag that prevents adding the item to purchase order lines. Blocking is controlled at the released product level through item model groups and item status, not through category node settings. Relying on the category would leave purchasing unrestricted, so this does not satisfy the scenario.
- ✓
Set the item's Purchase blocked field to Yes on the released product.
Why this is correct
The Purchase blocked field on the released product specifically prevents the item from being added to purchase order lines while leaving sales order entry unaffected. This matches the requirement exactly: purchasing is blocked, sales remains available. It is the granular control designed for this situation, unlike broader item model group stops or default order type changes.
- ✗
Set the item's Default order type to Sales order.
Why it's wrong here
Default order type influences which order type is pre-selected when creating a planned order or a new line, but it does not block the item from being entered on a purchase order. A user could still manually add the item to a purchase order line. Since the requirement is a hard block on purchasing, changing the default order type is insufficient and incorrect here.
- ✗
Assign the item to an item model group with the Stopped flag set to Yes for purchasing.
Why it's wrong here
The Stopped flag on an item model group stops inventory transactions broadly, including sales, purchasing, and production, rather than blocking only purchasing while allowing sales. Using it would prevent the item from being sold, which contradicts the requirement that it remain available for sales order lines. A more targeted block is needed, so this is not the right configuration.
