Inventory management (4 questions)

  1. Question 1

    A regulated product must be tracked by batch number from receipt through sale. Which inventory tracking setting should be used?

    1. ANo tracking dimension is set for regulated products, so lots go unrecorded.
    2. BTracking by color code, with the item's shade recorded on the product card.
    3. CSerial number tracking applied to the product's tracking dimension group.
    4. DBatch number tracking on the product's tracking dimension group
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: D

    Batch tracking records lot identity through receipt, storage and sales. Serial tracking tracks individual items, which is not the requirement, and no tracking or color-based tracking fails the regulation.

  2. Question 2

    A high-value item must be tracked individually, with each unit's serial number recorded through receiving and shipping. Which setting should the consultant configure?

    1. ABatch tracking with one shared batch number per receipt.
    2. BSerial number tracking on the product's tracking dimension group
    3. CNo tracking because the item is high value, so receiving keeps no unit records.
    4. DTracking the warehouse location and bin of each shipment, without serial numbers.
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    Serial tracking records each individual unit through the supply chain. Batch tracking groups units, no tracking loses traceability, and location tracking does not identify units.

  3. Question 3

    A sales order for a product should reserve stock as soon as the order is confirmed, to prevent other orders from taking the same stock. Which inventory feature achieves this?

    1. AReservation hierarchy and reservation on sales order lines
    2. BChanging the item description on the product page.
    3. CDeleting the on-hand quantity held at the site.
    4. DSetting a fixed unit price on the sales order.
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    Reservations allocate on-hand inventory to specific demand, such as a sales order, through the reservation hierarchy. Deleting stock, descriptions and prices do not reserve inventory.

  4. Question 4

    Which inventory transaction increases on-hand quantity for a product received from a vendor against a purchase order?

    1. ACustomer payment posted to receivables.
    2. BBill of materials revision for a product.
    3. CProduct receipt posted from the purchase order
    4. DSales order invoice posting for a customer.
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    Posting a product receipt from a purchase order increases on-hand inventory. Sales invoices reduce inventory, customer payments affect receivables, and BOM updates define structures.

Procurement (4 questions)

  1. Question 5

    A purchasing manager wants vendors to receive a purchase order automatically by email once it is approved. Which configuration supports this?

    1. APrinting each purchase order and mailing it manually to the vendor.
    2. BSending the order by phone call to a vendor sales representative, with the details read aloud.
    3. CSaving the approved purchase order as a scanned image file in the shared document library folder for finance.
    4. DDocument routing and automated purchase order email with the approved status trigger
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: D

    Automated document routing sends approved purchase orders to vendors without manual steps. Manual printing, phone orders and image files are inefficient and not integrated.

  2. Question 6

    A purchase order over a set amount must be approved by a manager before it is confirmed. Which feature supports this control?

    1. APurchase order approval workflows with conditions based on amount
    2. BNo approval needed because the vendor is already trusted.
    3. CA shared login password for the purchasing team to confirm orders.
    4. DAutomatic confirmation for every purchase order once the vendor responds.
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    Approval workflows with amount conditions enforce control over spending. Shared passwords, automatic confirmation and skipping approvals remove the control.

  3. Question 7

    A vendor's price list includes different prices for different quantities. Which feature in purchasing applies the correct price for each purchase order line?

    1. APurchase price agreements with quantity-based price breaks
    2. BThe item's image gallery and its thumbnail shown on the purchase line.
    3. CA fixed price typed by hand into every purchase order line.
    4. DA vendor's marketing brochure listing list prices and offers.
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    Price agreements with quantity breaks apply the right price automatically based on quantity and date. Manual typing risks errors, and brochures and images do not drive pricing.

  4. Question 8

    A company buys goods from a vendor who ships before invoices arrive. The company wants to match the received goods with the vendor's invoice later. Which process supports this?

    1. APaying the vendor's invoice before the goods are received into stock.
    2. BRecording the invoice without a linked purchase order.
    3. CDeleting the product receipt once the vendor invoice arrives, skipping the match.
    4. DProduct receipt followed by invoice matching in accounts payable
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: D

    A product receipt followed by invoice matching validates goods and invoices together. Paying before receipt, deleting receipts and invoicing without an order break the match control.

Warehouse management (4 questions)

  1. Question 9

    A warehouse must pick items in a specific sequence to reduce travel distance. Which warehouse configuration supports this?

    1. AWork templates or wave steps with pick sequencing rules
    2. BManual picking from memory with no guidance.
    3. CA single random pick location for each item.
    4. DPicking sorted by the vendor's name on the receipt.
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    Work templates and wave steps with sequencing guide pickers through efficient routes. Random locations, memory-based picking and vendor-based picking do not optimize travel.

  2. Question 10

    A company wants warehouse workers to scan items on mobile devices during receiving and picking. Which capability supports this?

    1. AA printed pick list kept at the packing station desk.
    2. BA shared email inbox where staff type received quantities.
    3. CWarehouse management mobile device menus with barcode scanning
    4. DA desktop calculator app for totaling counts on a PC.
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    Mobile device menus with barcode scanning support mobile receiving and picking workflows. Calculators, printed lists and email do not capture scanned transactions in the warehouse system.

  3. Question 11

    A warehouse uses license plates to track pallets as they move between locations. Which feature supports this?

    1. ARecording pallets in the sales invoice header.
    2. BKeeping pallet IDs in a sticky note on the rack.
    3. CChanging the item's color code and its catalog display theme in the system.
    4. DLicense plate tracking in the warehouse management module
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: D

    License plates track containers and their contents through movements. Color codes, invoices and sticky notes do not track pallets through warehouse processes.

  4. Question 12

    A company wants to direct put-away of incoming goods to locations based on the product's storage requirements, such as temperature zone. Which configuration fits?

    1. AA random location assignment for each incoming item, ignoring storage needs.
    2. BLocation directives and put-away rules that match product storage requirements
    3. CPutting everything in the first available location without checking storage requirements.
    4. DDeleting location master data and the warehouse zones that define storage requirements.
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    Location directives and put-away rules direct items to suitable locations based on attributes such as storage requirements. Random assignment and first-location placement ignore those requirements.

Sales (3 questions)

  1. Question 13

    A sales team needs to quote a price that includes a customer-specific discount for a period. Which feature should the consultant configure?

    1. AChanging the product's description to include the customer discount text.
    2. BA printed price list issued to each customer every quarter by mail.
    3. CTrade agreements with customer-specific pricing and date ranges
    4. DA global password on the discount record that restricts customer pricing.
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    Trade agreements define prices and discounts by customer and effective dates. Passwords, descriptions and printed lists do not drive pricing logic.

  2. Question 14

    A customer needs an estimate of when an ordered quantity can be delivered, based on current and future supply. Which feature provides this?

    1. AThe customer's birthday reminder
    2. BThe vendor's shipping label template
    3. CThe product's photo gallery page
    4. DAvailable-to-promise (ATP) calculations
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: D

    Available-to-promise considers on-hand and expected supply to provide delivery estimates. Photos, reminders and labels do not calculate availability.

  3. Question 15

    A customer requires that orders over a credit limit are held until the credit department releases them. Which feature supports this control?

    1. AA password for the customer account portal that controls online sign-in and ordering
    2. BChanging the order date to the next month to avoid the credit check
    3. CCredit limit on the customer with a hold or check on order confirmation
    4. DIgnoring the credit limit because the customer is a loyal account
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    Credit limits with holds or checks prevent over-limit orders from proceeding without review. Passwords, date changes and ignoring limits do not control credit exposure.

Production (3 questions)

  1. Question 16

    A manufacturer needs to define what components and quantities go into a finished product, including alternative components. Which structure should be configured?

    1. AA sales price list with customer trade agreements
    2. BA warehouse wave with pick release and wave setup
    3. CA vendor catalog with purchase prices and item codes
    4. DA bill of materials with component lines and alternatives
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: D

    A bill of materials defines components, quantities and alternatives used in production. Price lists, vendor catalogs and waves serve other purposes.

  2. Question 17

    A production order consumes components that must be tracked by batch. Which setup should the consultant verify first?

    1. AThe batch tracking settings on the component items and the reservation rules for the production order
    2. BThe customer's preferred shipping method and the carrier service level on the sales order header and freight terms
    3. CThe color scheme of the production order form and the font used in its printed header block
    4. DThe number of pages in the work instructions and the paper size used for printing
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    Tracking settings and reservation rules on components determine how batches are consumed and traced. Form colors, shipping methods and page counts do not affect batch consumption.

  3. Question 18

    A production process has several steps performed at different work centers in sequence. Which configuration defines this?

    1. AA list of employee names with shift patterns and skill certifications
    2. BA purchase agreement with vendor pricing tiers and delivery terms
    3. CA route with operations assigned to work centers in order
    4. DA single operation with no sequence number or predecessor link
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    Routes define the ordered operations and work centers used in production. A single operation with no sequence, employee lists and purchase agreements do not define a process.

Master planning (3 questions)

  1. Question 19

    A supply chain planner wants to plan purchases and production across all sites using forecast demand and safety stock. Which feature should be used?

    1. AChanging the item's display color and label template for each site
    2. BMaster planning with planning parameters and coverage settings
    3. CCreating a sales quotation for every item in the product catalog today
    4. DManually guessing the order quantities each week and site
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    Master planning uses coverage settings, safety stock and demand to calculate supply needs across sites. Colors, quotations and guesses do not produce integrated plans.

  2. Question 20

    A planner notices that planned orders are being generated too early, tying up cash. Which planning parameter should be reviewed?

    1. AThe user's login name and the workstation display language
    2. BThe company's time zone label and the legal entity's fiscal calendar display format
    3. CCoverage or planning time fence settings that control when orders are planned
    4. DThe color of the planning board and the font size used on the planning overview screen
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    Coverage groups and time fences control the timing of planned orders. Colors, login names and time zone labels do not change planning timing.

  3. Question 21

    A company wants to see which open demand cannot be met by current supply before the planning run is approved. Which report or view helps most?

    1. AThe product's marketing images and taglines
    2. BThe employee directory with contact details
    3. CThe vendor brochure describing the company's product range and terms
    4. DPlanning recommendations or the net requirements view
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: D

    Planning recommendations and net requirements show unmet demand and suggested actions. Brochures, images and directories do not show supply gaps.

Master data (3 questions)

  1. Question 22

    A company has a product that is discontinued. The team wants to stop it from being purchased or sold while keeping historical transactions. Which action should be taken?

    1. ADeleting the product record together with its sales and purchase transactions
    2. BSetting the product to a status that blocks new purchases and sales while keeping its history
    3. CRenaming the product code each year to reflect the new season and catalog cycle
    4. DLeaving the product active because historical reporting still depends on it
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    Blocking new transactions while retaining history preserves records and prevents new use. Deleting transactions removes history, renaming does not stop use, and leaving it active defeats the goal.

  2. Question 23

    A company wants to group products by category for reporting and default settings. Which master data structure should be used?

    1. AItem groups or product categories
    2. BCustomer invoices by period
    3. CVendor groups for each item
    4. DWarehouse waves and dock bins
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    Item groups and product categories group products and apply default settings and reporting. Vendor groups, invoices and waves do not organize products.

  3. Question 24

    A new legal entity is being added to the company, and it needs its own product setup while sharing some common product definitions. Which concept should be used?

    1. AKeeping the products under a single legal entity indefinitely without setup
    2. BReleased products set up per legal entity from shared product masters
    3. CCopying every product record manually by hand from one entity
    4. DCreating a separate database instance for each product
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    Released products are created per legal entity from shared product masters, which reuses definitions. Manual copies, a single entity for everything and database-per-product approaches are not appropriate.

Financial integration (3 questions)

  1. Question 25

    A company wants inventory value to post to the general ledger automatically when goods are received. Which setting controls this integration?

    1. AInventory posting profiles and item model groups that define financial accounts
    2. BThe warehouse's floor plan and the bin layout used for physical stock counting sessions
    3. CThe product's image size and resolution in the catalog gallery
    4. DThe sales quotation template and the document numbering format used
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    Item model groups and posting profiles map inventory transactions to financial accounts. Image sizes, quotation templates and floor plans do not post to the ledger.

  2. Question 26

    A consultant must ensure that inventory costs are valued using the company's accounting policy. Which costing method setting should be reviewed?

    1. AThe color of the cost report header and the font used on the valuation summary page layout
    2. BThe vendor's website URL and the vendor's public social media contact page footer links
    3. CThe number of employees in the warehouse assigned to receiving and picking tasks each shift
    4. DThe cost model on the item model group, such as standard or weighted average cost
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: D

    The cost model determines how inventory is valued. Report colors, employee counts and website URLs do not affect valuation.

  3. Question 27

    Sales invoices must post revenue to the correct ledger accounts for each product group. Which configuration enables this?

    1. AA single revenue account for every sale with no setup
    2. BSales posting setup per product group and customer group
    3. CManually posting revenue each month in a spreadsheet and copying totals
    4. DPosting revenue to the vendor's payable account
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    Posting setup per product and customer group directs revenue to accurate accounts. A single account, manual spreadsheets and vendor accounts create misposting.

Product information management (3 questions)

  1. Question 28

    A company sells the same physical product in several sizes and wants each size to be a separate sellable item with shared attributes. Which product model in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management fits best?

    1. AA purchase order line for each size
    2. BA product master with product variants for each size
    3. CSeparate released products with no shared attributes
    4. DA single product with the sizes typed in the description
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    A product master with variants keeps shared attributes centrally while each size is a distinct sellable variant. Separate unrelated products lose the shared structure, descriptions cannot drive inventory, and purchase order lines are transactions.

  2. Question 29

    A consultant needs a new product to be available for sale in one legal entity but not yet purchasable. Which configuration controls this?

    1. AA global shared password on the product record controls its sales availability.
    2. BChanging the product's display color in the catalog to control its sales availability.
    3. CReleased product setup per legal entity with sales and purchase settings enabled separately
    4. DCreating a duplicate product record in another company without completing the released product setup.
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    Released products are set up per legal entity, and sales and purchase tabs control availability separately. Passwords, colors and creating products in other companies do not control the requirement.

  3. Question 30

    A product attribute must be captured for every item in a category and used in searches and reports. Which feature provides this?

    1. AA free-text comment typed onto each sales order header.
    2. BProduct attributes assigned to the product category or item
    3. CA manual spreadsheet kept outside the system by buyers.
    4. DAn email signature block with the company's phone number.
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    Product attributes assigned to categories or items are structured data that can be searched and reported. Comments, spreadsheets outside the system and signatures are not structured product data.
