  • A Create planned orders to ensure that the inventory remains above the safety stock threshold.
  • B Create planned orders to reduce inventory levels to match the safety stock threshold.
  • C Put planned orders on hold because the current inventory covers demand.
  • D Wait for the inventory to reach zero before placing a new order.
Correct Answer

Explanation

Master planning in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management considers safety stock as a minimum threshold that must always be met. Even though the current inventory is above safety stock, the system projects future consumption and proactively generates planned orders to keep inventory from dropping below 20. Planning never reduces inventory to match safety stock, never waits for zero stock, and does not place orders on hold when a breach of safety stock is forecasted.
