Inventory to deliver (6 questions)

  1. Question 1

    A warehouse must receive goods using a mobile device and post the product receipt against the purchase order. Which process describes this?

    1. ASending receipts by email to accounts payable, which keys the quantities into the system by hand
    2. BPosting receipts in a batch at month end, after inventory valuation has already closed for the period
    3. CReceiving goods without recording them in the warehouse system at the dock
    4. DMobile receiving through the Warehouse Management mobile app with product receipt posting
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: D

    The Warehouse Management mobile app supports receiving and posting product receipts. Unrecorded receipts, month-end posting and emails do not capture inventory at the point of receipt.

  2. Question 2

    A warehouse uses zones and location types to direct putaway. Which configuration step establishes this structure?

    1. ACreate sites, warehouses, locations, zones, and location profiles
    2. BSet up trade agreements for prices and discounts by item
    3. CCreate customers and sales agreements with credit limits and payment terms
    4. DConfigure the vendor's collaboration portal and supplier login pages
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    Sites, warehouses, locations and zones form the physical structure and location profiles define behaviour. Customer, price and collaboration setups are different areas.

  3. Question 3

    A company wants inventory to be counted on a rotating schedule so that high-value items are counted more often. Which process supports this?

    1. ACycle counting work created on a schedule, with counts performed and reconciled
    2. BCounting when customers complain about stock accuracy, or when a dispute is raised
    3. CA single annual physical count performed at fiscal year end across the entire warehouse site
    4. DIgnoring counts for high-value items because their unit cost makes frequent counting unnecessary
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    Cycle counting schedules frequent counts for targeted items and reconciles differences. Annual-only counts, complaint-driven counts and ignoring high-value items do not meet the control objective.

  4. Question 4

    A warehouse must hold received goods in a quarantine status until quality inspection is complete. Which inventory status configuration supports this?

    1. ARecording the received goods as sold to a customer at standard cost
    2. BAn inventory status that blocks picking until the quality process releases the stock
    3. CStoring goods in the same status as available stock for MRP planning
    4. DShipping the goods via the standard pick process to the customer before inspection is complete
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    Inventory status blocking prevents use until quality approval. Treating quarantined stock as available, shipping before inspection and recording sales are incorrect.

  5. Question 5

    A company receives goods with a lot number that must be tracked for recall purposes. Which inventory dimension supports this?

    1. AThe vendor's logo on the packing slip
    2. BColour dimension for visual grouping
    3. CTracking dimension with lot or batch numbers
    4. DThe purchase order and its line number
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    Tracking dimensions such as lot or batch enable traceability for recalls. Colour, the PO number alone and logos do not provide traceability for product lots.

  6. Question 6

    A warehouse needs to move stock from one location to another within the same warehouse as a planned task. Which process should be used?

    1. AWarehouse inventory movement or a movement journal
    2. BCreating a new purchase order for the stock at the other location
    3. CChanging the item number on the stock to match the new location
    4. DWriting the new location on a paper sticky note
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    Inventory movements or movement journals record the transfer within a warehouse. Purchase orders, renaming items and notes do not record the movement.

Source to pay (6 questions)

  1. Question 7

    A company wants purchasing to follow an approval workflow for purchase requisitions above a set amount. Which configuration in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management achieves this?

    1. AA purchase order with no approval step set on the header, so amounts go to vendors without a review
    2. BA procurement workflow with conditions on the requisition amount and assigned approvers
    3. CA manual email approval kept in a shared finance mailbox outside Dynamics 365
    4. DA vendor collaboration portal for suppliers to view orders, with no approvals
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    Procurement workflows with amount conditions route requisitions to approvers automatically. Purchase orders without approvals, portals alone and email approvals outside the system do not enforce the policy.

  2. Question 8

    A buyer must issue a request for quotation to several vendors, compare their responses, and award the business to one vendor. Which feature supports this?

    1. ACopying vendor prices by hand into a shared spreadsheet for comparison
    2. BA single purchase order sent to one vendor, without seeking competing bids
    3. CRequests for quotation with vendor responses and award process
    4. DDelivering goods on a standing schedule before quotations are requested
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    RFQs collect vendor responses and support the award decision. A single PO to one vendor, spreadsheets and deliveries before quotation do not run a competitive award.

  3. Question 9

    A company has an agreement with a vendor for a fixed price over a year for a product, with quantities released on purchase orders. Which record defines the agreement?

    1. AA vendor return order for goods sent back after receipt
    2. BA bill of materials listing components and quantities
    3. CA purchase agreement with price and validity dates
    4. DA customer invoice issued for goods delivered on a sales order
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    Purchase agreements define negotiated prices and validity, which purchase orders reference. Vendor returns, BOMs and customer invoices serve different purposes.

  4. Question 10

    A vendor delivers 105 units against a purchase order for 100 units. The company's policy allows over-delivery up to 5 percent. Which configuration applies?

    1. ANo configuration is required, since receipts are capped at the ordered quantity
    2. BOver and under delivery tolerance on the purchase line or purchasing policy
    3. CIgnoring the five-unit difference and posting the receipt without a variance record
    4. DRecording the extra units as a separate purchase order for the same vendor and item
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    Over and under delivery tolerances control acceptable variance on purchase lines. Blocking all over-delivery, separate orders and ignoring the difference do not reflect the policy.

  5. Question 11

    A vendor must return defective goods received under a purchase order. The return should reduce inventory and create a credit with the vendor. Which process is correct?

    1. ARecord the return as a sales order to the vendor, with a credit line
    2. BIgnore the defective goods and leave them in available stock until invoiced
    3. CCreate and process a vendor return order referencing the original receipt
    4. DDelete the original purchase order and its linked receipt history
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    A vendor return order referencing the receipt reverses inventory and creates the credit. Deleting orders, sales orders to vendors and ignoring defects misstate inventory and payables.

  6. Question 12

    A buyer needs a purchase order to be created from an approved purchase requisition. Which action completes this?

    1. AConvert the approved requisition into a purchase order
    2. BRe-enter each line item manually in a new order
    3. CCreate a sales order instead of a purchase order
    4. DEmail the requisition to the vendor directly for a price check
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    Converting an approved requisition keeps the link and the approval history. Manual re-entry, emails to vendors and sales orders break the process.

Order to cash (6 questions)

  1. Question 13

    A sales order is entered for an item that is out of stock today, but a delivery is expected next week. The business wants to promise a delivery date based on expected supply. Which capability supports this?

    1. AAvailable-to-promise (ATP) calculations that consider expected supply
    2. BRejecting the sales order and leaving the line without a date
    3. CPromising delivery for today's date regardless of the physical stock on hand
    4. DPromising a date chosen at random from a calendar without checking supply levels
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    ATP considers expected supply and calculates a realistic promise date. Promising without stock, refusing outright and random dates are not reliable promises.

  2. Question 14

    A manufacturer wants to promise an order date that considers production capacity as well as materials. Which capability supports this?

    1. AA fixed lead time for all items
    2. BCapable-to-promise (CTP) that checks capacity and supply
    3. CPromising the customer the earliest date regardless of capacity
    4. DAvailable-to-promise without any capacity check
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    CTP includes capacity and supply in promising. ATP alone does not evaluate capacity, fixed lead times ignore constraints, and earliest-date promises are unreliable.

  3. Question 15

    A sales quotation is accepted by a customer and must be converted into a sales order with the same prices and lines. Which process applies?

    1. ACreate a purchase order to the vendor instead
    2. BEmail the quotation as a PDF to the warehouse team
    3. CConvert the accepted sales quotation into a sales order
    4. DRetype the quotation by hand as a new sales order
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    Converting the quotation keeps the linked prices and lines. Retyping risks errors, emails do not create orders, and purchase orders are for buying.

  4. Question 16

    A customer returns a product that was sold last month. The company must credit the customer and receive the goods back into a return location. Which process handles this?

    1. AIgnore the return because the original sale is closed in the ledger, so no credit is needed
    2. BDelete the original sales order and its shipped history record from the system
    3. CCreate and process a sales return order that receives the goods and issues a credit
    4. DIssue a purchase order to the customer so they can return the goods through a vendor process
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    A sales return order receives goods and issues credit correctly. Deleting orders, purchase orders to customers and ignoring returns misstate inventory and receivables.

  5. Question 17

    A company's sales agreement gives a customer a specific price for a product for one quarter. Which configuration defines this?

    1. AA warehouse zone that groups storage locations for putaway and picking of the product across the site
    2. BA product dimension group that classifies items by size, colour and configuration for pricing rules
    3. CA purchase agreement with the vendor that sets the supplier's cost price and delivery terms for the quarter
    4. DA sales agreement or trade agreement with the price and validity period for the customer
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: D

    Sales or trade agreements define customer prices and validity. Purchase agreements are for vendors, dimension groups classify products, and zones structure warehouses.

  6. Question 18

    A sales representative earns a commission on each order from specific customer groups. Which configuration supports this calculation?

    1. ASales groups and commission setup linked to the customers or orders
    2. BA warehouse wave template that releases picking tasks in batches
    3. CA purchase order with a commission field per vendor line
    4. DA production journal that posts item consumption and output
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    Sales groups and commission setup calculate commissions on relevant orders. Purchase orders, wave templates and production journals are unrelated.

Design to retire (6 questions)

  1. Question 19

    A company wants to introduce a new product and make it available for sale only after its engineering data and pricing are complete. Which product lifecycle state controls this?

    1. AA product moved to retired status right after creation, skipping development and release
    2. BA product that is released for sale by default as soon as its item master record is saved
    3. CA product record with no lifecycle state, leaving release and availability settings blank
    4. DA lifecycle state that keeps the product in development until it is released
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: D

    Lifecycle states control availability through stages such as development and release. Products without states, default releases and immediate retirement do not manage this progression.

  2. Question 20

    A company will discontinue a product next year, and new orders should stop being accepted before then. Which lifecycle step applies?

    1. AKeep accepting new orders until the product is gone from stock
    2. BRename the product so that existing and new orders show the new name
    3. CSet the product's lifecycle state to phase-out or retired at the right time
    4. DDelete the product record immediately, removing its historical order lines
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    Phase-out or retired states stop new orders in a controlled way. Immediate deletion destroys history, indefinite acceptance and renaming do not manage discontinuation.

  3. Question 21

    A bill of materials must be changed for an engineering revision, but production orders already in progress must use the old version. Which feature handles this?

    1. ABOM versions with effective dates
    2. BUsing a different item number for each order
    3. CDeleting the BOM and recreating it
    4. DEditing the old BOM in place for every order
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    BOM versions with effective dates allow controlled changes while in-progress orders use the earlier version. In-place edits, deletion and new item numbers disrupt production.

  4. Question 22

    Which THREE are valid uses of product attributes in a product strategy? (Choose three.)

    1. ADescribing product characteristics for search and classification
    2. BChoosing the vendor's preferred payment method
    3. CSetting the warehouse's opening hours
    4. DSupporting category hierarchies and reporting
    5. ECapturing regulatory or compliance details for a product
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A, D, E

    Attributes describe products for classification, reporting and compliance. Warehouse hours and vendor payment method are unrelated to product attributes.

  5. Question 23

    A product must be created as a variant of a base product, with variants differing by size and colour. Which feature supports this?

    1. AAdding size and colour in the product description field and sales text
    2. BCreating each variant as an unrelated product record with no link
    3. CProduct variants created under a released base product with the variant dimensions
    4. DUsing one product master record for every size and colour combination
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    Variants under a base product share structure and maintain dimension links. Unrelated products, descriptions only and a single product lose the variant structure.

  6. Question 24

    A company wants to configure costing so that a product has a standard cost, and actual costs are compared with it. Which configuration supports this?

    1. AUsing the purchase price from the latest invoice with no standard cost defined
    2. BRecording the cost as zero in the costing version until a cost is entered manually
    3. CAveraging random sample values from unrelated fiscal periods
    4. DCosting versions for standard costs with cost calculation and activation
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: D

    Costing versions with standard costs support comparison and activation. Zero costs, purchase price alone and random values do not provide the standard cost basis.

Plan to produce (5 questions)

  1. Question 25

    A production planner wants to schedule jobs based on available machine capacity, so that jobs do not exceed what machines can do in a day. Which scheduling approach applies?

    1. AFinite capacity scheduling that respects resource capacity limits
    2. BScheduling without resource data, relying on job due dates alone
    3. CScheduling each job at a fixed midnight start time daily
    4. DInfinite capacity scheduling that ignores machine limits
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    Finite capacity respects limits, which keeps schedules feasible. Infinite capacity ignores constraints, midnight scheduling is arbitrary, and no resource data cannot produce a valid schedule.

  2. Question 26

    A production order must be released to the shop floor only after material reservations are confirmed. Which lifecycle stage applies?

    1. AReleased stage after reservations are in place
    2. BCreated stage with no further steps taken on the order
    3. CEstimated stage with no material reservations recorded
    4. DEnded stage that closes the production order record for good
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    Release to the floor follows reservation confirmation in the production order lifecycle. Estimation, ending and creation alone do not release work.

  3. Question 27

    A process manufacturer records byproducts that come from a main product, and it wants costs allocated between the main product and the byproduct. Which configuration handles this?

    1. ARecording the byproduct at zero cost with no allocation of joint production costs
    2. BDeleting the byproduct line from the production order
    3. CCost allocation for co-products and by-products in the costing setup
    4. DCharging the byproduct to a sales order as an invoiced line item
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    Co-product and by-product cost allocation divides production costs appropriately. Zero costs, deletion and sales charges misstate costs.

  4. Question 28

    Materials are substituted in a production order because the planned component is unavailable. The change must be recorded accurately. Which process supports this?

    1. AIgnoring the difference between the planned component and the substituted item on the order
    2. BSubstitution of materials recorded on the production order with the approved alternative
    3. CChanging the bill of materials for future orders silently, without updating the current order
    4. DRecording the substitution as a sales return against the customer's open sales order for the same quantity
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    Substitution on the production order records the change accurately. Silent BOM changes for future orders, sales returns and ignoring differences misstate production.

  5. Question 29

    A subcontractor performs a process step for a manufactured item. The company must send materials to the subcontractor and receive finished goods back. Which configuration supports this?

    1. AA purchase order for finished goods from the vendor, with no component materials shipped to the vendor for the process step
    2. BSubcontracting setup with a route or BOM line that references the subcontracted resource and warehouse
    3. CPerforming the process step internally on the shop floor using existing labour, with no transfer record created
    4. DA sales order issued to the subcontractor, billing it for the processing service rendered at contract rates
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    Subcontracting configuration with routes and warehouses manages materials and returns. A plain finished-goods PO, untracked internal work and sales orders to the subcontractor do not capture the flow.

Forecast to plan (1 question)

  1. Question 30

    A planner wants to produce a demand forecast from historical sales and apply it to planning. Which configuration is required first?

    1. AA warehouse wave template that groups released outbound orders for picking and shipping
    2. BForecast models and parameters configured for the items and sales history used
    3. CA purchase requisition template that records internal needs for vendor sourcing
    4. DA customer invoice layout that controls header fields and line formatting for billing
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    Forecast models and parameters determine how history becomes forecast demand. Requisition templates, invoice layouts and wave templates do not generate forecasts.
