Manufacturing and Sourcing HDMI Cables: MB-320 Exam Guide

A.

The correct answer to the question is option D - In default order settings, select Purchase for the default order type.

Explanation: In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing, an item can be manufactured internally or purchased from a vendor. In this scenario, the manufacturer produces HDMI cables, but occasionally purchases unbranded HDMI cables from a vendor to meet demand. The company must use the same item number whether they make or buy the item. This means that the item number and associated data must remain the same regardless of whether the item is produced internally or purchased from a vendor.

To achieve this, the default order type should be set to Purchase in the default order settings. This ensures that the system generates a purchase order when the item needs to be purchased from a vendor. The system will use the same item number and associated data for the purchased item as it would for the internally manufactured item.

Option A, which suggests selecting the route type as vendor on the route operation when the item is to be purchased, is incorrect because it only affects the routing of the production order and does not ensure that the same item number is used for both internally manufactured and purchased items.

Option B, which suggests selecting Production for the default order type in the default order settings, is incorrect because it only generates production orders for the item and does not consider the scenario where the item needs to be purchased from a vendor.

Option C, which suggests creating a new vendor resource when the item is to be purchased, is incorrect because it does not address the requirement to use the same item number for both internally manufactured and purchased items. Creating a new vendor resource would result in a different item number being used for the purchased item.
