MB-330 Implement Inventory and Asset Management Practice Question
A warehouse supervisor needs to perform a cycle count for a specific location. They want to ensure that only items with a quantity greater than zero are counted. Which cycle count configuration should they use?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that cycle count thresholds or work pools can filter by quantity, when the filtering is actually done via the plan's zero-quantity setting.
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
✓
On the cycle count plan, set the 'Include items with zero quantity' option to 'No'.
The cycle count plan includes an option to include or exclude items with zero quantity. By setting this option to 'No', the supervisor ensures that only items with a positive on-hand quantity are counted, which aligns with the need to count only items that are physically present and have stock.
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 cycle count plan to include items with zero quantity.
Why it's wrong here
Including items with zero quantity would count items that are not physically present, which is not desired. The supervisor wants to count only items with positive quantity. This setting would increase the count workload and potentially create discrepancies for items that are not there.
- ✓
On the cycle count plan, set the 'Include items with zero quantity' option to 'No'.
Why this is correct
The cycle count plan has an option to include or exclude items with zero quantity. Setting it to 'No' ensures that only items with a positive on-hand quantity are included in the count. This directly meets the requirement to count only items with quantity greater than zero, optimizing the counting process.
- ✗
Configure the cycle count work pool to filter by quantity > 0.
Why it's wrong here
Work pools are used to organize cycle count work, but they do not filter items by quantity. Work pool configuration is about assigning work to users, not about the criteria for which items to count. So this does not achieve the filtering requirement.
- ✗
Use a cycle count threshold to exclude zero-quantity items.
Why it's wrong here
Cycle count thresholds are used to trigger counts based on the number of days since last count or other criteria, not to filter by quantity. There is no threshold setting that excludes zero-quantity items. Thus, this approach would not filter out zero-quantity items from the count.
