MB-330 Implement Inventory and Asset Management Practice Question
A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to manage inventory across multiple warehouses. They want to track inventory ownership for consignment items. Which two configurations are required to enable consignment inventory tracking? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming consignment is enabled by a simple parameter toggle rather than through the inventory owner dimension and configuration key.
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 up an inventory owner for the consignment items.
To track consignment inventory, you must enable the Inventory owner configuration key and set up an inventory owner. The configuration key activates the Owner dimension, and the inventory owner identifies the external party that owns the stock. Together, these allow the system to record and report on consignment inventory separately from owned inventory.
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 an inventory owner for the consignment items.
Why this is correct
An inventory owner is required to identify the party that owns the consignment stock. This allows the system to separate owned inventory from consignment inventory. Without an inventory owner, the system cannot distinguish consignment items from company-owned items, so this configuration is essential for tracking ownership.
- ✗
Create a new inventory dimension for consignment.
Why it's wrong here
Inventory owner is an existing inventory dimension; you do not create a new dimension. Creating a new dimension is not supported for this purpose and would require customization. The standard approach uses the Owner dimension, which is already available when the configuration key is enabled.
- ✗
Enable the 'Consignment' parameter in the Inventory and warehouse management parameters.
Why it's wrong here
There is no global parameter called 'Consignment' in Inventory and warehouse management parameters. Consignment is enabled through inventory owner setup and item configuration, not a single parameter. Enabling such a parameter does not exist, so it is not a valid configuration step.
- ✓
Enable the 'Inventory owner' configuration key.
Why this is correct
The Inventory owner configuration key must be enabled to use the Owner inventory dimension. This key activates the functionality for tracking inventory ownership, including consignment. Without this key, the Owner dimension is not available, and you cannot assign owners to inventory transactions, making consignment tracking impossible.
- ✗
Assign the inventory owner to the item's default order settings.
Why it's wrong here
The inventory owner is not assigned through default order settings. Default order settings control purchasing, sales, and inventory policies like minimum and maximum quantities. While they are important for item setup, they do not control ownership. Ownership is managed through inventory dimensions and owner assignment on transactions.
