You are the inventory manager at a large distribution company.

You notice item P0001 has been running out regularly and the on-hand count seems to differ from what is in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. You want cycle count work to be automatically created when the quantity drops below 10 pieces, which is about once a week.

You need to appropriately configure warehouse management to generate cycle count work.

What should you do?

A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to manage procurement operations.

A purchasing manager creates a procurement request of the main product line from an offshore vendor. The vendor informs the purchasing manager that the items will be delivered in two phases due to raw material shortages. The purchasing manager wants to maintain this information by keeping the procurement request intact for tracking.

You need to configure the procurement requirements before the goods are shipped.

What are two possible ways to achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

HOTSPOT

A company implementing Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management has multiple warehouses, some of which are Warehouse Management-enabled.

The company must hold inventory for the following purposes:

✑ On-hand inventory available for all transactions except for sales orders.

✑ Automatic hold on inbound purchase order inventory.

✑ Damaged on-hand inventory that can be transferred from a mobile device, leaving the undamaged inventory available.

You need to determine the feature that applies to each company requirement.

Which features should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: Ordered reserved

On-hand inventory available for all transactions except for sales orders.

Query your on-hand inventory

To check the availability of inventory, go to Inventory management > Inquiries and reports > On-hand list.

The On-hand list page is automatically updated when transactions are made in inventory.

Those transactions might be forecasted, physical, or financial transactions.

For each matching item, the On-hand grid provides the following columns of inventory information.

* Ordered reserved – The total quantity that is reserved on ordered receipts. The value in this field represents the total quantity of items in outbound transactions that have a status of Ordered reserved. Items that are reserved as ordered aren’t physically available in inventory. Therefore, they can’t be directly picked and delivered.

* Etc.

Box 2: Inventory blocking

Automatic hold on inbound purchase order inventory.

Inventory blocking is part of the quality inspection process in Supply Chain Management.

You can use inventory blocking to prevent items from being processed or consumed.

You can block inventory items in the following ways:

Manually

By creating a quality order

By using a process that generates a quality order

By using inventory status blocking

Box 3: Inventory status

Damaged on-hand inventory that can be transferred from a mobile device, leaving the undamaged inventory available.

Set up and use inventory statuses

You can use inventory statuses to categorize inventory. You can then initiate appropriate actions, such as replenishment or put-away work.

Here are some examples of ways that you can use inventory statuses:

Create inventory statuses for on-hand inventory, inbound transactions, and outbound transactions.

Specify a default inventory status for warehouse transactions.

Change an inventory status for items before arrival, during arrival, or when the items are put away during inventory movement.

Use an inventory status to price items that are returned and to plan item coverage during master planning.

Incorrect:

* Quality Order

The Quality management for warehouse processes feature lets you integrate item sampling controls into the warehouse receiving process by using warehouse management processes (WMS). Warehouse work can be automatically generated to move inventory to the quality control location, based on a percentage or a fixed quantity, or based on every nth license plate. After a quality order has been completed, work can be automatically generated to move inventory to the next location in the process, depending on the quality results.

The Quality management for warehouse processes feature extends the capabilities of the basic quality management feature. It provides the option to create quality orders for the inventory that is sent to the quality control location, although quality orders aren’t always required. Therefore, it allows for a lightweight quality control process that is based on warehouse work.

* Nonconformance

A nonconformance describes an item that has a quality problem. The nonconformance process lets you create a nonconformance order that describes a quantity of nonconforming material, the problem source, the problem type, and explanatory notes.
