Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Expert — Question 213

A Discrete manufacturing company produces speakers. The high-end speaker model uses protective rubber strips on the edges.

Approximately five inches of rubber is consistently scrapped in the production process, regardless of production quantity. Workers manually consume the extra material on the picking list or scrap it in an inventory journal.

You need configure the system to automatically account for this scrap on the Bill of materials (BOM).

What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Set a Constant scrap of five on the BOM line for rubber.
• B. Add an additional BOM line for five inches and set consumption to Variable.
• C. Set a Variable scrap of five percent for the rubber BOM line.
• D. Increase the required quantity of the rubber component by five on the BOM.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because setting a Constant scrap of five on the BOM line directly addresses the consistent amount of rubber that is scrapped during production. The other options do not accurately reflect the fixed nature of the scrap, with option B introducing unnecessary complexity, option C applying a percentage that does not align with the fixed scrap amount, and option D inaccurately adjusting the required quantity rather than accounting for the scrap.
