Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing — Question 3

A manufacturer produces HDMI cables. Typically, the item is manufactured.
The manufacturer will occasionally buy unbranded HDMI cables from a vendor in order to keep up with demand. The company must use the same item number whether they make or buy the item.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Select route type as vendor on the route operation when the item is to be purchased.
• B. In default order settings, select Production for the default order type
• C. Create a new vendor resource when the item is to be purchased
• D. In default order settings, select Purchase for the default order type

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because selecting Production as the default order type ensures consistency in item management regardless of the method of acquisition. Options A and D focus on the purchase process but do not address the requirement for a unified item number. Option C is unnecessary since the company already has a manufacturing process in place.
