The scenario describes a customer who produces light projection toys for holiday decorations and has a production process that involves different work cells. The customer also relies on vendors to create visual templates for each season and manage the transfer of these templates to the warehouse. The question is asking how to configure the subcontracted transfer activity for this process.
To start, it is important to understand what a subcontracted transfer activity is in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing. This feature allows a company to create purchase orders that transfer items from one warehouse to another through a vendor. In other words, the vendor acts as a carrier or shipper for the transfer of goods between the two warehouses. The purchase order includes the vendor's information, such as their ID, and the items being transferred.
In this case, the question specifically asks about how to configure the subcontracted transfer activity for the transfer of visual templates created by vendors. Based on the information provided, the following options are available:
A. Set the transfer activity Freighted by value to Carrier. Ensure that purchase agreements include the vendor ID of the vendor. B. Set the transfer activity Freighted by value to Shipper. Ensure that purchase agreements include the vendor ID of the vendor. C. Set the transfer activity Freighted by value to Recipient. Ensure that purchase agreements include the vendor ID of the warehouse. D. Set the transfer activity Freighted by value to Carrier. Ensure that purchase agreements include the vendor ID of the warehouse. E. Set the transfer activity Freighted by value to Shipper. Ensure that purchase agreements include the vendor ID of the warehouse. F. Set the transfer activity Freighted by value to Recipient. Ensure that purchase agreements include the vendor ID of the vendor.
First, it is important to understand what the "Freighted by" value means. This field is used to specify who is responsible for the cost of transportation during the transfer of goods. The options are Carrier, Shipper, or Recipient.
Option A and D both set the transfer activity Freighted by value to Carrier, which means that the vendor is responsible for the cost of transportation. The difference is that A includes the vendor ID of the vendor in the purchase agreement, while D includes the vendor ID of the warehouse.
Option B and E both set the transfer activity Freighted by value to Shipper, which means that the company is responsible for the cost of transportation. The difference is that B includes the vendor ID of the vendor in the purchase agreement, while E includes the vendor ID of the warehouse.
Option C and F both set the transfer activity Freighted by value to Recipient, which means that the warehouse is responsible for the cost of transportation. The difference is that C includes the vendor ID of the warehouse in the purchase agreement, while F includes the vendor ID of the vendor.
Based on the scenario, the best option is F, which sets the transfer activity Freighted by value to Recipient and ensures that purchase agreements include the vendor ID of the vendor. This is because the question specifically states that "Each transfer for each vendor must use the same purchase agreement." By including the vendor ID of the vendor in the purchase agreement, the company can ensure that the same agreement is used for each transfer with that vendor. Additionally, setting the transfer activity Freighted by value to Recipient ensures that the warehouse is responsible for the cost of transportation, which is consistent with the scenario.
In summary, the best option for configuring the subcontracted transfer activity in this scenario is F, which sets the transfer activity Freighted by value to Recipient and ensures that purchase agreements include the vendor ID of the vendor.
