MB-330 Implement Master Planning Practice Question
A distribution company needs Master Planning to generate planned transfer orders that replenish a warehouse from a central distribution center. The item is currently set up with a coverage code of 'Min/Max' and a default order type of 'Purchase'. What must be configured to allow the planning run to create planned transfer orders instead of planned purchase orders?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is looking for a special coverage code or warehouse type to drive transfer replenishment, when the default order type on the item is the setting that actually controls the generated order type.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set the item's default order type to 'Transfer' on the Default order settings.
Master Planning decides the type of planned order to create based on the item's default order type on the Default order settings. With 'Purchase' selected, replenishment is always proposed as planned purchase orders. Switching the default order type to 'Transfer' makes the planning engine generate planned transfer orders, which is the required behavior for warehouse-to-warehouse replenishment.
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 item's default order type to 'Transfer' on the Default order settings.
Why this is correct
The default order type on the item's Default order settings determines which type of planned order Master Planning creates for replenishment. Changing it from 'Purchase' to 'Transfer' instructs the planning engine to generate planned transfer orders, which can then be firmed into actual transfer orders between the warehouses.
- ✗
Assign the item to a warehouse that is configured as a transit warehouse.
Why it's wrong here
A transit warehouse is used to model goods in transit between two warehouses, not to trigger transfer order replenishment. Assigning the item to a transit warehouse does not alter the default order type, so Master Planning would continue to generate planned purchase orders for the item.
- ✗
Set the item's 'Transfer lead time' to a positive value.
Why it's wrong here
Lead time controls the timing of the planned order but does not determine whether the order is a transfer or a purchase. Entering a transfer lead time without changing the default order type would still result in planned purchase orders being created with that timing offset.
- ✗
Create a new coverage group with a 'Transfer' coverage code.
Why it's wrong here
Coverage codes such as Min/Max, Period, and Requirement define how quantity and timing are calculated, not the order type. There is no 'Transfer' coverage code in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, so this configuration would not exist and would not change the replenishment order type.
