MB-330 Implement Master Planning Practice Question
A supply chain manager needs to run Master Planning to generate planned orders for a specific set of items. They want to limit the planning run to only those items, ignoring all others. Which parameter in the Master Planning run dialog should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is thinking that coverage group or warehouse can filter to specific items, but those parameters filter by group or location, not by individual item numbers.
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
✓
Item number
The Item number field in the Master Planning run dialog is used to restrict the planning run to specific items. By entering one or more item numbers, the planner can ensure that only those items are considered, which is useful for targeted planning or testing. This is the most direct way to limit the run to a set of items.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Master plan
Why it's wrong here
The Master plan parameter selects which master plan to run (e.g., static or dynamic). It does not filter items. Running a master plan will process all items included in that plan's scope, not a specific subset. It does not provide item-level filtering.
- ✓
Item number
Why this is correct
The Item number field in the Master Planning run dialog allows you to specify a single item or a range of items to include in the planning run. By entering the specific items, the planning engine only processes those items, ignoring all others. This directly meets the requirement to limit the run to a specific set of items.
- ✗
Coverage group
Why it's wrong here
The Coverage group parameter filters the planning run by coverage group, not by individual items. While it can limit the run to items within a coverage group, it does not allow specifying a specific set of items unless they all share the same coverage group. This is less precise than using item numbers.
- ✗
Warehouse
Why it's wrong here
The Warehouse parameter limits the planning run to a specific warehouse. It does not filter by item; all items in that warehouse are planned. This does not achieve the goal of planning only a specific set of items, as it would include all items in the selected warehouse.
