Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Expert — Question 133

You produce 100 total units of finished goods. The amount of material used to produce the goods is the equivalent amount of material needed to produce 105 finished goods.

The company must track variances in material compared to the original estimated amount. You must only use one picking list journal for each production order.

You need to post a picking list that accounts for the material required to produce 105 finished goods.

What should you do?

Answer options

• A. When creating the lines for a picking list, select the estimated consumption option and override the consumption field with the actual amount to be consumed.
• B. Increase the production order to a total quantity of 105 and re-estimate.
• C. Report as finished five additional units into the good quantity and post a picking list for only the originally estimated amount.
• D. In the Bill of materials production details, edit the estimated amount for each line to equal 105 units of raw material.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it allows you to accurately reflect the actual material consumption while still using the picking list structure. Option B incorrectly suggests changing the production order quantity without addressing the existing consumption variance. Option C does not account for the additional material needed, and option D changes the estimate but does not utilize the correct process for posting the picking list.
