Microsoft Certified: Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Associate - (MB-330) Exam Questions

To ensure that a royalty claim is generated each time a sales order is fulfilled, you should configure the Cumulate sales by field with the values Invoice and Fulfilled.

This configuration ensures that royalty calculations are triggered for both:

• Invoiced sales (ensuring financial completion), and

• Fulfilled sales orders (ensuring physical delivery).

By including both, the system captures all relevant transactions necessary for accurate and timely royalty processing.

Objective:

Implement and manage supply chain processes.

In Dynamics 365, the process involves creating a customer record from a lead and then confirming an existing quote to generate a sales order. The "Create Customer from Lead" action allows you to convert a lead into a customer record in Supply Chain Management, capturing essential information for further sales interactions. Once the customer record is established, you can confirm the quote, which converts it into a sales order, initiating the fulfilment process.

Objective:

Implement and manage supply chain processes.

In this scenario, the freight cost is based on the distance traveled between the source and destination. To support this, two specific transportation management engines in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management are required:

• Mileage Engine:
  This engine calculates the distance between the shipping origin and destination. It's essential when freight rates depend directly on mileage.

• Rate Engine:
  This engine determines the freight cost by using inputs such as distance (from the mileage engine), weight, freight class, or carrier pricing rules. It is used to calculate the actual shipping charges.

These engines work together to ensure that transportation costs are accurately computed based on how far goods are shipped.

Correct Answers:

• Mileage

• Rate

Objective:

Implement warehouse management and transportation management.

Buyer's push is a strategy where the seller (in this case, the distribution warehouse) initiates the movement of goods to the buyer (retail outlets). To implement Buyer's push in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, you should generate transfer orders for the retail outlets. Transfer orders trigger the outbound process, ensuring that the stock with a limited shelf life is shipped and received to the retail outlets promptly.

Objective:

Implement and manage supply chain processes.

Spot cycle counting allows warehouse workers to count items in a specific location at any time without the need for predefined cycle counting work. This method is useful for addressing immediate inventory discrepancies or concerns without disrupting the regular cycle counting schedule.

Objective:

Implement inventory and asset management.

In Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, if a planning optimization job is accidentally triggered with incorrect runtime filters, you should access the plan history to cancel the job. The plan history provides a record of past and current planning runs, allowing you to identify the problematic job and cancel it to prevent further issues. Once cancelled, you can then create a new planning optimization job with the correct runtime filters.

Objective:

Implement master planning.

Generating a statistical baseline forecast is the key action to enable automatic creation of planned orders in master planning based on demand or end date. The statistical baseline forecast utilizes historical demand data and statistical algorithms to predict future demand patterns. This forecast then serves as the foundation for master planning calculations, automatically generating planned orders to meet the anticipated demand or fulfil requirements by specific due dates.

Objective:

Implement master planning.

Planning Optimization is the planning engine in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management that allows for automatic firming of orders based on their order date. It utilizes advanced algorithms and constraints to create an optimized production plan, considering factors like capacity, material availability, and due dates. The auto-firming feature within Planning Optimization automatically converts planned orders into firmed orders based on predefined rules and priorities, ensuring timely execution of production activities.

Objective:

Implement master planning.

To configure unit conversion for packaging cartons with different sizes maintained as product variants, you should enable unit of measure conversions in the product master and configure the intra-class unit conversion feature in the released products. This allows you to define conversion factors between the base unit of measure (metric tons) and the sales unit of measure (individual items) for each product variant, ensuring accurate inventory tracking and sales processing.

Objective:

Implement product information management

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, item costing versions allow you to manage and simulate cost updates before activating them in the system. When costs are defined but not yet effective, they typically remain in the "Pending" state. If the activation date is not updated, it means the costs are not yet live.

To make the new costs effective immediately, you must:

• Set the status of the item cost record to "Active".

• This updates the activation date to the current system date and makes the cost usable in transactions.

Objective:

Implement inventory and asset management
