• Question 131:

  You need to configure lot number control for inventory.

  Which option should you use?

  A. Blank issue allowed

  B. Primary stocking

  C. Blank receipt allowed

  D. Physical inventory

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation:

  Blank receipt allowed: If the Primary stocking check box is not selected, then you can select the Blank receipt allowed check box to prevent specification of the dimension when physical receipts are updated. This functionality is useful if, for

  example, you do not want to specify the serial/lot number upon input but you do for picking and output.

  Scenario: Inventory control

  Scenario: You must not be required to track the lot number for items when you enter inventory information into the system. Lot numbers for items must be entered when items are picked from inventory.

• Question 132:

  A manufacturing company uses master planning in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

  The production planner increases the lead time of an item. On the next master planning output, the planner receives a cancel action message on existing purchase orders. The message includes a suggested earlier date for the planned purchase orders.

  The demand for the item has not changed since the original purchase order was placed. Dynamic negative days is not used.

  You need to resolve the issue.

  What should you do?

  A. Increase positive days.

  B. Decrease negative days to be less than the item lead time.

  C. Decrease positive days.

  D. Increase negative days to be greater than the item lead time.

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation:

  The production planner increases the lead time of an item.

  As a rule, the positive days are set to a number that is between the longest lead time of the items and the coverage time fence. We recommend that you assign items that are regularly procured or produced to a coverage group where the

  positive days equal the item's lead time.

  Incorrect:

  Not B: The lead time was increased, we should not decrease the negative days.

  Not D: We recommend that you set the negative days to a number that is less than the lead time of the item.

  Note:

  Negative days

  Negative days indicate how late item receipts will be allowed. They represent the number of days that you're willing to wait before you order new replenishment when you have negative inventory or don't have enough inventory. Negative days

  answer the question, Should we create a new purchase order for the item, or should we use an existing purchase, even though we know that the item will be late?

  Positive days

  Positive days indicate how far in the future master planning considers the current inventory or receipts to fulfill a future demand. For example, if the positive days are set to 100, the current inventory can be used to fulfill demand in the next

  100 days. If there is an order 150 days from the current date, master planning will create a planned order to satisfy that demand, even though the on-hand inventory for the item can satisfy the order. For fast-moving items that have a short

  lead time, you might not want to use the on-hand inventory for an order that is far in the future. In this fast-moving case, the current on-hand inventory will be gone quickly, and more orders could be placed in the future to fulfill a future demand

  on time, which would be possible due to the short lead time of the item.

• Question 133:

  A manufacturing company uses master planning in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

  Purchase orders for a raw material are created more frequently than needed. This results in missed discounts with the vendor who sells the raw material.

  The raw material items have a 30-day lead time. The company is willing to delay sales and production order demand that may consume the raw material for up to 15 days to consolidate purchase orders.

  You need to configure the setup to include lead time and consolidate purchase orders.

  What should you configure?

  A. positive days

  B. dynamic negative days and negative days

  C. negative days only

  D. dynamic negative days only

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation:

  * Dynamic negative days

  Dynamic negative days consider the item's lead time and the negative days that you specified. The system will create a new planned purchase order, based on the negative days time fence that is calculated by using the following formula:

  Lead time + Negative days + Current date

• Question 134:

  You use the master planning module for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

  Planned production orders have been created.

  Several sales orders are canceled in response to concerns about recent online reviews of a product.

  You need to enable the appropriate action message.

  Which action message should you enable?

  A. Increase

  B. Decrease

  C. Advance

  D. Postpone

  E. Derived actions

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation:

  Decrease - The system will generate action messages when production orders, purchase orders, and other receipt transactions should be decreased to prevent excess inventory levels.

  Incorrect:

  *

  Increase - The system will generate action messages when production orders, purchase orders, and other receipt transactions should be increased to prevent shortages in inventory.

  *

  Advance - The system will generate action messages, as they are needed, to move orders to an earlier date. In the Advance margin field, you can specify the maximum number of days that can pass between a receipt and an issue without an advance action.

  *

  Postpone - The system will generate action messages, as they are needed, to move orders to a later date. In the Postpone margin field, you can specify the maximum number of days that can pass between a receipt and an issue without a postpone action.

  *

  Derived actions - Action messages that are created for receipt transactions will be propagated to any derived requirements, and the necessary action messages will be generated for the receipt transactions that satisfy those requirements.

• Question 135:

  A company that makes artisan chocolate has implemented Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

  The top selling chocolate bar for the company must contain 85 percent cocoa. The cocoa can be obtained from either cocoa beans, cocoa butter or a combination of both, depending on supply at the time of production. The top three substitutions for the cocoa butter ingredient are configured in the system.

  When you run master planning, all substitutions are out of stock at the manufacturing plant, but in stock at a secondary warehouse.

  You need to process the planned orders.

  Which type of planned order would be generated?

  A. Sales order

  B. Transfer order

  C. Purchase order

  D. Production order

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation:

  You can use warehouse levels to create a hierarchy that supports transfer orders between warehouses. Based on this setup, master scheduling calculates item requirements at the individual warehouse level and generates planned transfer

  orders from an assigned source warehouse to fulfill them.

• Question 137:

  A company has three jobs in a job queue. JobB and JobC start while JobA is in progress. The following table shows the estimated production time for each job.

  

  The actual work hours and total bundle time are shown in the following table.

  

  You need to calculate the allocated time for JobA by using a job allocation key. What is the total allocated time for JobA?

  A. 1 hour

  B. 2 hours

  C. 4 hours

  D. 6 hours

  E. 8 hours

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation:

  Jobs allocation key

  The formula for calculating allocated time. Here is the formula: Time per job = Total bundle time ÷ Number of jobs

  Time per job = 6 hours / 3 = 2 hours

  Note:

  Estimation allocation key

  Formula for calculating allocated time. Here is the formula: Time per job = Total bundle time × (Estimated job time ÷ Total estimated time)

• Question 138:

  A company uses production orders to assist with timely inventory delivery to the shop floor.

  Inventory items for production orders are not being delivered from the warehouse in time for the production runs.

  You need to ensure that the inventory items are available when needed.

  Which option should you select?

  A. Route card

  B. Job scheduling

  C. Job card

  D. Batch job

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation:

  You can schedule a production order with operations and job scheduling.

  Note: You can use job scheduling to schedule individual jobs or shop orders, and to control the manufacturing environment. Job scheduling breaks down each operation into its individual tasks or jobs. These jobs are then assigned to the

  operations resources that will perform them. Job scheduling also lets you synchronize all jobs that are referenced by the selected job. You can specify a start date and time or end date and time for the job, and then run scheduling. The time

  that you specify can be the start time or the end time, depending on the scheduling direction. This functionality is useful when, for example, a job can be run only on one machine at a time, or when you want to optimize the job that is run for

  each resource.

  Incorrect:

  Not A: The time that workers spend on production jobs is recorded in the Route card journal or the Job card journal. When these journals are posted, ledger posting to a dedicated account for resources that are in progress (WIP) is processed.

  This posting represents the value of the time that is spent on the production order. After the production order is registered as ended, the WIP accounts are settled.

  Not C: The job card device is used by the shop floor workers to register their daily work, such as when jobs are started, reporting feedback on jobs, registering indirect activities, and reporting absence. These registrations are the basis for

  tracking progress and cost on production orders and for calculating the basis for the workers' pay.

  Not D: A batch job is a group of tasks that are submitted to an Application Object Server (AOS) instance for automatic processing

• Question 139:

  A company configures master planning to order large and expensive aluminum sheets that are only available at certain times of the year.

  The warehouse manager reports that replenishment levels are too high, causing inventory value to be over budget. In addition, the aluminum sheets take up too much space on the shop floor.

  You need to configure the appropriate replenishment method.

  Which coverage dimension should you use?

  A. Min/Max

  B. Per period

  C. Per requirement

  D. Manual

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation:

  Period

• Question 140:

  A pharmaceutical company is implementing Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

  The formulas for medication include a single active ingredient. The active ingredient will be defined with a target level and specified deviation ranges from the target.

  You need to set up the active ingredient items.

  Which two actions must you perform? Each answer presents a partial solution.

  NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  A. Configure inventory batch attributes.

  B. Enable serial tracking.

  C. Enable batch tracking.

  D. Configure expiry dates for a batch.

  Correct Answer: AC

  Explanation:

  A: Products that have an active ingredient

  A product can be defined by its concentration of an active ingredient. The active ingredient of a product is modeled by using a product-specific batch attribute that has a minimum value, a maximum value, and a target level.

  C: To associate a base attribute with a product, the following setup is required:

  The product must be batch-controlled. To make a product batch-controlled, you must assign a tracking dimension group to the product that has an active Batch dimension.

  The attribute that indicates the ingredient levels must be defined as a product-specific batch attribute for the product.

  To look up and edit the actual value of the active ingredient for a batch:

  Go to Inventory management > Inquiries and reports > Tracking dimensions > Batches.

  Select a batch number from the grid.

  On the Action Pane, open the View tab and then select Inventory batch attributes.
