Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Expert — Question 114

A manufacturing company uses master planning in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management.

Purchase orders for a raw material are created more frequently than needed. This results in missed discounts with the vendor who sells the raw material.

The raw material items have a 30-day lead time. The company is willing to delay sales and production order demand that may consume the raw material for up to 15 days to consolidate purchase orders.

You need to configure the setup to include lead time and consolidate purchase orders.

What should you configure?

Answer options

• A. negative days only
• B. positive days
• C. dynamic negative days and negative days
• D. dynamic negative days only

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because configuring dynamic negative days and negative days allows the company to effectively manage lead times and consolidate their purchase orders. Option A does not provide the necessary flexibility, while B only adds positive days which does not meet the requirements. Option D excludes negative days, which are crucial for accommodating the lead time.
