Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing — Question 39

A company uses Process manufacturing for most products and Discreet manufacturing for other products. The company is creating a formula for a new product.
The new item will be used to make a name brand product and two generic brand products.
This item has the following requirements:
✑ Production of the name brand and generic products must use the same formula.
✑ The company must produce all three items at the same time.
You need to create a produced item that can make two generic items and one main item.
How should you set up the item?

Answer options

• A. Create the name brand product as the main product and use a formula production type. Create the two generic items as a formula planning production type planning items. Copy the formula from the name brand item into each of the generic items.
• B. Create the name brand product as the main product and use a formula production type. Create the two generic products as co-products as part of the formula for the name brand product.
• C. Create the name brand item as a Bills of material production type item. Create the two generic items as a sub-assembly on the Bills of material for the name brand product.
• D. Create the name brand item as a Bills of material production type item. Add the two generic items on the Bills of material for the name brand product and use line type phantom.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because it allows the name brand product to be the primary item with the generic items as co-products, ensuring that they can all be produced simultaneously using the same formula. Options A and C do not facilitate the simultaneous production of all three items as required, while option D incorrectly suggests using a phantom line type, which does not apply to this scenario.
