Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management — Question 3

A company employee is in charge of warehouse operations and controlling inventory adjustments through journals.
The employee needs to add inventory for samples at a specific cost. The samples were shipped by a vendor without a purchase order. The employee needs to be sure that the inventory value goes to a ledger account so that the value of the samples is not mixed in with other inventory value.
You need to ensure that the employee is able to correctly add the inventory.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Create a movement journal, add the cost, and specify the offset ledger account on the line.
• B. Create an adjustment journal, add the cost, and specify the offset ledger account on the line.
• C. Create an arrival journal, add the cost, and specify the offset ledger account on the line.
• D. Create a transfer journal, transfer to a different warehouse, and then adjust the cost.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a movement journal is specifically designed for adjusting inventory levels without a purchase order and allows specifying an offset ledger account to keep the sample inventory value distinct. The other options do not appropriately address the need to record inventory without a purchase order or do not focus on maintaining a separate ledger account for the samples.
