Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing — Question 2

You are the production scheduler at a manufacturing company. The company is not using advanced warehousing.
You have firmed a planned production order from master planning. The order is ready to be processed.
You now need to process the order in production control.
What should you do first?

Answer options

• A. Report the order as finished
• B. Estimate the order
• C. Schedule the order
• D. Start the order

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct first step is to estimate the order, as this allows for an assessment of the resources and time needed for production. Reporting the order as finished, scheduling, or starting the order cannot occur until an estimation is completed, which provides insight into the feasibility and planning of the production process.
