MB-330 Implement Master Planning Practice Question
A supply chain manager needs to run Master Planning for a specific item and wants the planning engine to consider only the demand and supply for that item, ignoring all other items. Which action should the manager take when starting the planning run?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that a master plan or coverage group can be configured to plan only one item, when in fact item-level scoping is done through the run-time filter on the Master Planning run dialog.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set the 'Item number' filter on the Master Planning run dialog.
The Master Planning run dialog provides an 'Item number' filter that scopes the planning calculation to the specified item. Using this filter, the manager can run planning for a single item without affecting or processing other items. This is the standard way to isolate a planning run for troubleshooting or targeted 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 'Planning optimization' toggle to 'Single item'.
Why it's wrong here
There is no 'Single item' option for the Planning optimization toggle; it is a binary setting that switches between the deprecated master planning engine and Planning Optimization. This toggle does not provide a way to limit the run to one item, so it cannot achieve the desired isolation.
- ✗
Disable the 'Include all items' checkbox on the master plan.
Why it's wrong here
The master plan form does not contain an 'Include all items' checkbox. Item-level filtering is performed at run time through the Master Planning run dialog, not through a plan-level toggle, so this action does not exist and would not limit the planning scope.
- ✓
Set the 'Item number' filter on the Master Planning run dialog.
Why this is correct
The Master Planning run dialog includes an 'Item number' filter that restricts the planning run to the specified item. Applying this filter causes the engine to process only the demand and supply for that item, which is exactly what the manager needs to isolate the planning calculation.
- ✗
Create a new master plan with a coverage group limited to the item.
Why it's wrong here
A master plan is a planning configuration that includes all items assigned to it, not a per-run filter. Creating a new master plan with a coverage group would still process other items in that coverage group and does not provide the item-specific isolation the manager requires for this run.
