  1. Question 1Drag and drop: order
    DRAG DROP
    A company plans to account for indirect costs related to materials used to manufacture products.
    The items used to manufacture products have surcharge rates that depend on the type of product being used.
    You need to set up the costing sheet to include surcharges for specific items.
    Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

    Arrange 3 of these in the correct order:

    • Create a node-type surcharge under the indirect cost group and enter the absorption basis and surcharge.
    • Create cost groups for indirect and direct costs.
    • Assign a surcharge node to items.
    • Assign the cost group for the indirect cost to the route operation.
    • Assign a cost group to the items.
    Show answer
    1. Create cost groups for indirect and direct costs.
    2. Assign a cost group to the items.
    3. Create a node-type surcharge under the indirect cost group and enter the absorption basis and surcharge.
    Why

    Surcharges on the costing sheet are calculated from cost groups. Create the direct and indirect cost groups, assign the direct material cost group to the items, then add a surcharge node whose absorption basis is that item cost group so the rate applies only to those items.

  2. Question 2Drag and drop
    DRAG DROP
    A company uses distributed hybrid topology within their Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management system.
    The company plans to build a manufacturing plant on a mountain to be closer to a required mineral source. Internet connectivity is unreliable, and availability of bandwidth speed is limited. The company plans to deploy an operational edge scale unit for the plant to address the connectivity issue.
    You need to determine where production operations can be performed.
    Which method should you recommend?
    To answer, drag the appropriate methods to the correct requirements. Each method may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

    Move each item to the matching row:

    • Production floor execution interface
    • Warehouse Management mobile app
    • Production floor execution interface and Warehouse Management mobile app
    • Record the start of production.
    • Report the number of production units completed and finished goods put away.
    • Report time spent training a new employee about line operation.
    Show answer
    • Record the start of production. Production floor execution interface
    • Report the number of production units completed and finished goods put away. Production floor execution interface and Warehouse Management mobile app
    • Report time spent training a new employee about line operation. Production floor execution interface
    Why

    Manufacturing execution on a scale unit is done in the production floor execution interface, which handles starting jobs, reporting quantities and indirect activities such as training. Put-away of finished goods is a warehouse task done in the Warehouse Management mobile app, which can also report as finished.

  3. Question 3Multiple response
    A manufacturer is implementing master planning in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management for planned orders.
    Master planning is running for the first time in the production environment.
    You need to instruct the production planners where to view the following information:
    Planned orders that are created in a run.
    An item’s planned orders against the demand over user-defined periods of time.
    In which two possible locations can the information be found? Each correct answer presents a complete solution,
    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
    1. A
      Sequenced planned orders
    2. B
      Net requirements form
    3. C
      Supply Schedule form
    4. D
      Item requirement statistics
    5. E
      Planned orders
    Show answer

    Correct answer: B, E

    Why

    The Planned orders form lists the planned orders created by a master planning run, and the Net requirements form shows an item's planned orders against demand by period. Supply schedule, sequenced orders and requirement statistics do not present both views.

  4. Question 4Single choice
    A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
    A piece of machinery that is critical to a production order breaks down during a production order.
    The completed quantities of the production order must be shipped. The remaining quantity on the production order needs to be completed once the machinery is fixed.
    Negative inventory is not allowed for the items.
    You need to resolve the production issue.
    What should you do?
    1. A
      Ship the production quantity that is reported as finished.
    2. B
      Cancel the production order and create a new order for the finished quantity.
    3. C
      Split the current production order into two production orders.
    4. D
      End the current production order and create a new order for the remaining quantity
    Show answer

    Correct answer: C

    Why

    Splitting the production order separates the completed quantity from the remaining quantity, so the finished order can be ended and shipped while the rest is completed after repair. Cancelling or ending the order would lose history or cause negative inventory issues.

  5. Question 5Multiple response
    You are the production supervisor at a chemical processing plant.

    You must track attributes for each batch of chemicals. Automated quality orders must be generated when a batch order for these chemicals is reported as finished.

    You need to ensure that the values of attributes are updated and tracked.

    What three actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
    1. A
      Create attribute types.
    2. B
      Create a test instrument for each attribute.
    3. C
      Set up batch attributes.
    4. D
      Assign the attributes to the appropriate test on the test group.
    5. E
      Assign the attributes to the chemicals.
    Show answer

    Correct answer: C, D, E

    Why

    Create batch attributes, assign them to the tests on the test group, and assign the attributes to the chemicals so quality orders generated at batch finish record values. Attribute types are not the batch attribute setup here, and test instruments are not required per attribute.

  6. Question 6Drag and drop: order
    DRAG DROP

    A company uses Asset management in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The company also uses Dynamics 365 Guides independently of the Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management implementation.

    Maintenance workers require a checklist template to complete work orders. A solution must help the workers through work order steps. The solution must use Dynamics 365 Guides with Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

    You need to integrate the solution.

    Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

    Arrange 3 of these in the correct order:

    • Assign a guide to the template field on the maintenance checklist template record.
    • Assign a task recording link to a step in the guide in the Dynamics 365 Guides PC app.
    • Create a maintenance checklist template in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
    • Complete all prerequisites for the Dynamics 365 Remote Assist configuration.
    • Create a record template for a work order in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
    • Create a guide of the maintenance checklist process in the Dynamics 365 Guides PC app.
    • Create a guide of the maintenance checklist process in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management by using the task recorder.
    • Use document management to attach a link to the guide on the maintenance checklist template record.
    Show answer
    1. Create a guide of the maintenance checklist process in the Dynamics 365 Guides PC app.
    2. Create a maintenance checklist template in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.
    3. Assign a guide to the template field on the maintenance checklist template record.
    Why

    Guides are authored in the Dynamics 365 Guides PC app, not with the task recorder. Create the guide, create the maintenance checklist template in Supply Chain Management, and assign the guide on the template record. Note that the image shows four slots, but the question asks for three actions.

  7. Question 7Single choice
    You are a process engineer evaluating Lean vs. Discrete processing. You want to convert a Kanban item.

    This item has the following Lean setup:

    • The setup uses a Lean schedule group with a throughput ratio = 2.
    • The process activity tied to production flow has the following runtime activity times: time = 3 min, per quantity = 1.
    • The work cell capacity has a model type of Throughput and an average throughput quantity of 60 per a capacity period of standard workday (8 hour day).
    • The throughput is 10 per hour.

    You need to set up a Discrete operation to mirror the item’s production flow activity.

    What should you do?
    1. A
      Create a route with a runtime = 6, a process quantity = 1, and the operation's hours/time = 1.
    2. B
      Create a route with a runtime = 1, a process quantity = 6, and the operation's hours/time = 1.
    3. C
      Create a route with a runtime = 10, a process quantity = 6, and the operation's hours/time = 1.
    4. D
      Create a route with a runtime = 1, a process quantity = 1, and the operation's hours/time = 1.
    Show answer

    Correct answer: B

    Why

    Throughput of 10 per hour times a ratio of 2 gives an effective rate that works out to a process quantity of 6 per one hour with run time 1. Option A inverts the quantity and time, and C and D give wrong rates. Community answer B is kept.

  8. Question 8Hotspot
    HOTSPOT

    A bicycle manufacturer uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

    The manufacturer experiences a supply chain issue with a metal used to fabricate the wheel. Due to the issue, the manufacturer must change the bicycle wheel assembly temporarily. Production workers require an interactive visual guide to complete production.

    You need to configure the features.

    Which features should you configure? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

    Attach the guide for the production process.Route versions / Released product / Bill of materials / BOM version
    Open the guide from the production floor.QR code / Maintenance plan / License plate barcode / Maintenance checklist
    Show answer
    • Attach the guide for the production process. BOM version
    • Open the guide from the production floor. QR code
    Why

    Guides can attach to route versions or BOM versions, and a temporary wheel material change fits a dedicated BOM version. Workers scan the guide's QR code from the job list to open it. This feature depends on HoloLens, whose hardware Microsoft has discontinued, so it may be dated.

  9. Question 9Single choice
    A company has three jobs in a job queue. JobB and JobC start while JobA is in progress. The following table shows the estimated production time for each job.



    The actual work hours and total bundle time are shown in the following table.



    You need to calculate the allocated time for JobA by using a Job allocation key.

    What is the total allocated time for JobA?
    1. A
      1 hour
    2. B
      2 hours
    3. C
      4 hours
    4. D
      6 hours
    5. E
      8 hours
    Show answer

    Correct answer: B

    Why

    A job allocation key spreads the bundle time across jobs in proportion to their estimated time. JobA is 1 of 8 estimated hours against the 6 hour bundle, which would be 0.75 hours, so no option matches exactly. The community answer of 2 hours is kept.

  10. Question 10Drag and drop
    DRAG DROP

    A process manufacturing company is implementing Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The company will use multiple process manufacturing functionalities including by-products.

    You need to configure by-product formula allocation methods.

    Which methods should you use? To answer, drag the appropriate by-product burden allocation methods to the correct scenarios. Each method may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

    NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point

    Move each item to the matching row:

    • percent
    • recycled
    • none
    • per quantity
    • Plastic extrusion trimmings continuously added back into the melt.
    • Lumber manufacturing sawdust costing $1.40 per pound to dispose.
    Show answer
    • Plastic extrusion trimmings continuously added back into the melt. recycled
    • Lumber manufacturing sawdust costing $1.40 per pound to dispose. per quantity
    Why

    Trimmings returned to the melt are reused in the same process, which matches the recycled method. Sawdust carries a fixed disposal charge per pound, so the burden is a per quantity amount that adds to the cost of the main product for each unit produced.

  11. Question 11Single choice
    You produce 100 total units of finished goods. The amount of material used to produce the goods is the equivalent amount of material needed to produce 105 finished goods.

    The company must track variances in material compared to the original estimated amount. You must only use one picking list journal for each production order.

    You need to post a picking list that accounts for the material required to produce 105 finished goods.

    What should you do?
    1. A
      When creating the lines for a picking list, select the estimated consumption option and override the consumption field with the actual amount to be consumed.
    2. B
      Increase the production order to a total quantity of 105 and re-estimate.
    3. C
      Report as finished five additional units into the good quantity and post a picking list for only the originally estimated amount.
    4. D
      In the Bill of materials production details, edit the estimated amount for each line to equal 105 units of raw material.
    Show answer

    Correct answer: A

    Why

    Select the estimated consumption option when creating picking list lines and override the consumption field with the real amount, so the variance against the estimate is tracked in one journal. Changing the BOM, the order quantity, or reporting extra units loses the estimate comparison.

  12. Question 12Single choice
    A company is implementing repair management for its Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

    A customer reports that a printer does not print properly and produces documents that are faded and have streaks.

    The company determines that the toner cartridge is malfunctioning.

    You need to create a plan to address the identified issue.

    Which component of the plan should you configure?
    1. A
      Repair stages
    2. B
      Resolutions
    3. C
      Conditions
    4. D
      Diagnosis areas
    Show answer

    Correct answer: B

    Why

    A resolution defines the action that fixes the issue found in a repair plan. Repair stages, conditions and diagnosis areas describe workflow, state, or categorizing symptoms rather than the fix.

  13. Question 13Single choice
    Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.

    After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.

    A manufacturing plant uses Lean processes. You plan to outsource a painting operation to a subcontracting vendor. You create a service item named SP-01 to represent the painting service.

    You need to create a subcontracting activity for the painting service.

    Solution:
    • Create a vendor resource and work cell for outsourced painting; add the vendor resource to the work cell.
    • Create a production flow process activity using the painting work cell and the service item for picking.
    • When the service is required, create a purchase order to the subcontracting vendor and add a line for the service item and the vendor price.

    Does the solution meet the goal?
    1. A
      Yes
    2. B
      No
    Show answer

    Correct answer: B

    Why

    No. The solution has the vendor resource and work cell, but a subcontracting activity must be created as a subcontracting type activity with the service item, not a process activity for picking. Purchase order creation alone does not meet the goal.

  14. Question 14Single choice
    You are configuring forecasting and planning processes in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management for a distribution company.

    The company requires the following functionality:

    • Improve forecast accuracy by using historical demand.
    • Create planning data that aligns with actual sales trends.
    • Automate forecast generation as part of the sales and operations planning (S&OP) process.

    You need to configure the forecasting setup to support demand-driven planning.

    What should you do?
    1. A
      Assign forecasts only at the item coverage level to drive supply.
    2. B
      Define forecast models directly within the Master planning module.
    3. C
      Enable real-time forecast adjustments by using a kanban rule.
    4. D
      Use the Demand forecasting worksheet to generate statistical baseline forecasts.
    Show answer

    Correct answer: D

    Why

    The Demand forecasting worksheet in Supply Chain Management generates statistical baseline forecasts from history, using the Azure or Microsoft forecast algorithms and feeding the planning forecast. Forecast models are not defined in master planning only, and kanban rules do not forecast.

  15. Question 15Single choice
    A manufacturing company is implementing engineering change management in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

    The company requires the system to manage the release of versioned products to specific legal entities, ensuring only approved product versions are used and changes are tracked accurately.

    You need to set up release policies to ensure the proper management of versioned products during the release process.

    What should you do?
    1. A
      Set up the release policy for engineering change order approvals for releasing product versions.
    2. B
      Set up the release policy to associate the legal entity with an engineering category and enforce version control parameters.
    3. C
      Define a release policy that uses a shared engineering category for all legal entities to manage product versions.
    4. D
      Configure the release policy to allow product release without linking to an engineering category.
    Show answer

    Correct answer: B

    Why

    A release policy links a legal entity to an engineering category and enforces its version control parameters, so only approved versions are released to each company. A shared category, no category or just an ECO approval does not control release per legal entity.
