Topic 9: Misc. Questions

A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. Inventory is valued through FIFO costing.
The warehouse manager identifies item discrepancies and increases quantities in a counting journal. Finance then discovers that the cost on Item A posted as zero dollars on the journal transaction.
You need to configure the system to ensure that the cost is populated on the transaction.
What should you configure? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area, NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.




Explanation:
Box 1: Adjustment journal

Inventory adjustment
When you use an inventory adjustment journal, you can add cost to an item when you add inventory. The additional cost is automatically posted to a specific general ledger account, based on the setup of the item group posting profile. Use this inventory journal type to update gains and losses to inventory quantities when the item should keep its default general ledger offset account. When you post an inventory adjustment journal, an inventory receipt or issue is posted, the inventory values are changed, and ledger transactions are created.

Box 2: Counting journal
Counting journals let you correct the current on-hand inventory that is registered for items or groups of items, and then post the actual physical count, so that you can make the adjustments that are required to reconcile the differences.

A company is configuring the handheld warehouse mobile device in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management
Several warehouse activities are documented as required configurations. The activity configurations require a menu item in the device interface.
You need to create the menu items.
Which menu item mode should you use for each activity? To answer, move the appropriate menu item modes to the correct activities. You may use each menu item mode once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to move the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

A process manufacturer is implementing Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to produce sports energy bars, beverages, and nutritional supplements.
The company must run a series of quality control tests for all its beverage items for each production run after the items are completed from a production job.
The testing process for all beverages must follow the same process. The energy bars and nutritional supplements have their own testing requirements.
The specific tests are not yet defined.
You need to configure the quality associations in preparation for the requirements.
Solution: Create a quality association for each item with Reference type as Inventory, using Item code as Table and specifying each item on the quality associations. Set Event type to Registered. Set Execution to Before.
Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes

B. No

B.   No

A manufacturing company is implementing Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management for asset maintenance. The temperature control system requires calibration every six months by a certified metrologist.
You need to configure the six-month cadence requirement. What should you configure?

A. Maintenance job trade

B. Maintenance job type variant

C. Maintenance checklist variable

D. Maintenance job type category

B.   Maintenance job type variant

A manufacturing company has implemented Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The company relies on machinery and equipment for its operations. It has a diverse range of assets, including manufacturing equipment, vehicles, and tools.
The company wants to optimize its asset maintenance processes to minimize downtime and improve overall productivity. The company wants to implement both preventive and reactive maintenance strategies on the following scenarios:

• Changing the tires and oil on the maintenance vehicle fleet.
• Replacing a faulty component on a box maker.

You need to determine the functionality to use for each maintenance requirement.
Solution: Create maintenance rounds for both the vehicle fleet and the box maker. Does the solution meet the goal?

A. Yes

B. No

B.   No

A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The company has two sites at ports of entry, one in Atlanta and one in San Francisco.
Due to supply chain constraints and cost fluctuations, the company must change from one standard cost for all products to two standard cost structures, one for Atlanta and one for San Francisco. A costing manager for each site will manage and approve the costing. The historical costs must be retained for analytical purposes. Costs are revised annually.
You need to configure the system.
What should you configure? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.




Explanation:
Box 1: Create a new costing version.

As we need two standard cost structures, we need two cost versions.
Note: A costing version can support a standard cost inventory model for items, where the costing version contains a set of standard cost records about items and manufacturing processes.

Box 2: Enable the Blocked flag.

The manager could use the Costing version setup page to change the blocking flag to allow activation of the pending cost records in the second costing version.

Box 3: Activate the fallback principle

Update standard costs for a new manufactured item (see last line below).
The following guidelines assume that you use a two-version approach to update standard costs. In this approach, one costing version contains the standard costs that were originally defined for the frozen period, and the second costing version contains the incremental updates that pertain to the new manufactured items. The incremental updates are entered as cost records in the second costing version, and eventually they are enabled. The two version approach requires that you define a second costing version. Here are the guidelines for defining this costing version:

Assign a costing type of Standard cost.
Assign a significant identifier that indicates the contents of the costing version, such as 2016-UPDATES.
In the Allow price types field group, make sure that Cost price is set to Yes. Allow cost records to be entered for all sites (that is, leave the Site field blank). If you enter a site, cost records can be entered only for that site. Use a fallback principle of Active.
