Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management Functional Consultant Expert — Question 55

A company configures master planning to order large and expensive aluminum sheets that are only available at certain times of the year.

The warehouse manager reports that replenishment levels are too high, causing inventory value to be over budget. In addition, the aluminum sheets take up too much space on the shop floor.

You need to configure the appropriate replenishment method.

Which coverage dimension should you use?

Answer options

• A. Per period
• B. Manual
• C. Min/Max
• D. Per requirement

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The 'Per period' coverage dimension allows for planning based on time intervals, which is effective for items that are only available seasonally, like the aluminum sheets. This approach helps in managing inventory levels more effectively compared to 'Manual', which requires constant oversight, 'Min/Max', which may not address seasonal availability, or 'Per requirement', which could lead to shortages during peak times.
