Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Expert — Question 248

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

The production planner increases the lead time of an item. On the next master planning output, the planner receives a cancel action message on existing purchase orders. The message includes a suggested earlier date for the planned purchase orders.

The demand for the item has not changed since the original purchase order was placed. Dynamic negative days is not used.

You need to resolve the issue.

What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Increase positive days.
• B. Decrease positive days.
• C. Decrease negative days to be less than the item lead time.
• D. Increase negative days to be greater than the item lead time.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because increasing negative days ensures that the planned purchase orders are aligned with the extended lead time, preventing cancellations. The other options do not adequately address the lead time adjustment, which is critical in maintaining the integrity of the purchase orders.
