Describe Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management - Quiz

This item tests the candidate's knowledge of the different modules in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and the function that each one performs.

The company must configure the Warehouse management module. As part of the process for enabling a warehouse layout, you must define warehouse zone groups, zones, location profiles, location types, and locations. Asset management is an advanced module for managing assets and maintenance jobs in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The Cost management module lets you collect data from various sources, such as the general ledger, sub-ledgers, budgets, and statistical information. The cost data can then be analyzed, summarized, and evaluated so that management can make the best possible decisions for price updates, budgets, and cost control. The Service management module is used to establish service agreements and service subscriptions, handle service orders and customer inquiries, and to manage and analyze the delivery of services to customers.

This item tests the candidates’ knowledge of manufacturing strategies.

Process manufacturing is a production method that creates goods by combining supplies, ingredients, or raw materials using a formula or recipe. It is often used in industries that produce bulk quantities of goods, such as food, beverages, refined oil, gasoline, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and plastics. Discrete manufacturing is a production of distinct items, where the resulting products are easily identifiable. This type is often used in industries like automobile, computers, and smartphones. Lean manufacturing is a production process based on an ideology of maximizing productivity while simultaneously minimizing waste within a manufacturing operation. The lean principle sees waste as anything that does not add value that the customers are willing to pay for.

This item tests the candidate’s knowledge of master planning. Master planning allows companies to determine and balance the future need for raw materials and capacity to meet company goals and is part of the manufacturing strategy.

The master planning process checks the demand, calculates the raw material requirements, and creates planned purchase orders accordingly. The production process describes the various stages of production orders, batch orders, and Kanbans, from order creation to closing of the financial period. A purchase order is something you would receive from a vendor, not something you would create when making a purchase. Service agreements are used to group service agreements by, for example, company size, geographical location, or industry type.

This item tests the candidate’s knowledge of the cost management methods available in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to manage and track inventory costs, including standard and actual costs. The correct method of using the weighted average cost takes the average of the items that are received into inventory during the inventory closing process. First in, first out (FIFO) and last in, first out date (LIFO Date) are methods based on first and last receipt issuance respectfully. The standard costing method can support a standard cost inventory model for items, where the costing version has a set of standard cost records about items and manufacturing processes.

This item tests the candidate’s knowledge of determining limits of inventory in a warehouse.

Location profiles can create logical or physical groupings of locations that have the same warehouse location process policies (for example, a mix of different item numbers can be stored there, and the same physical capacity constraints apply). Wave templates help enable the outbound "Release to warehouse" process. Work templates define which work is performed and how the work is done in the warehouse. Batch jobs running in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management can use data from a queue for processing events issued by the Warehouse management mobile app to react as needed to the signaled events.

This item tests the candidate’s knowledge of the available Dynamics 365 finance and operations apps and the function each app performs in enterprise resource planning (ERP).

The Dynamics 365 Human Resources app is primarily used to connect people and operations data together to help optimize workforce costs and take care of employees. In the scenario, the company can use the Personnel management workspace in Dynamics 365 Human Resources to meet the requirements. The Personnel Management workspace contains personnel movements, employee changes, open positions, address changes, expiring records, and analytics. Dynamics 365 Project Operations is incorrect because the app is used to manage projects and project delivery. Dynamics 365 Finance is incorrect because the app is used to control finances, manage funds, and conduct financial planning and forecasting. Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management is incorrect because the app is used to manage a company's inventory, warehouses, manufacturing, services, and logistics while helping to build a resilient supply chain.

This item tests the candidate’s knowledge of manufacturing strategies.

The make-to-stock principle is the classic manufacturing principle where you produce products for stock based on forecast or minimum stock refill. You calculate the latter based on forecast or historic consumption. The make-to-order principle is triggered by a sales order or transfer order. The configure-to-order principle is triggered by a sales order or transfer order. The actual product variant you produce is not predefined; you create it at the time of order entry based on the configuration model of the sales product. Engineer to order processes is typically addressed by a project and usually start with the engineering phase. During the engineering phase, the actual products that are required to fulfill the order are designed and described. Production orders, batch orders, or Kanbans can then be created to produce the products.

This item tests the candidate’s knowledge of the fulfilment process in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and specifically identifying the different picking methods available to workers fulfilling orders in a warehouse. Cluster picking is the correct answer as workers use a mobile device to assign orders to a cluster. This allows them to pick items for multiple orders simultaneously by clustering them into pick clusters and minimize warehouse travel time. Piece picking is not optimized for collecting multiple orders in one go. Over-picking relates to workers over-picking slightly more material than is specified for a production order. Zone picking applies when workers are assigned to a specific zone or region of the warehouse.
