Microsoft MB-330 - Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

Require workers to confirm the product, location, or quantity when they pick items

You can set up work confirmations that require that a worker use a mobile device to register the location or quantity when they perform work in the warehouse. Work confirmations help ensure that the worker is at the correct location or is handling the correct quantity of items. You can also enable Supply Chain Management to automatically confirm the worker’s registration. If you enable automatic confirmation, you can't also require confirmations for location or quantity. Work confirmations also include products and product variants. Additionally, you can register confirmations by scanning a bar code. To confirm products and product variants, you must enter an ID for the product or product variant. This ID can be a product ID, product search ID, external ID, GTIN, or bar code. After you enter the ID or scan the bar code, the dimensions for the product variant are displayed on the mobile device.

Scenario:

* Damaged products must be placed in one of four bins (based on product type) during the inspection process.

* You must define quarantine zones to optimize product visibility throughout the testing process.

Four bins for the damaged product types, so we need four quarantine zones.

Note: You use the Quarantine zones page to define zones that can be assigned to nonconformances.

Examples of quarantine zones

Example 1

You work at an electronics manufacturing company that produces and distributes televisions, speakers, and media players. In this case, you can configure a quarantine zone to represent each type of product.

Example 2

Three bins and two racks are used to store items that are nonconforming. In this case, you can configure five quarantine zones, one for each bin and each rack.

Note: If products in the warehouse must be blocked from transactions for a specific reason, such as a health and safety review, warehouse users should be able to block the products quickly from the ERP system.

You can block inventory items in the following ways:

Manually

By creating a quality order

By using a process that generates a quality order

By using inventory status blocking

Box 1: Price Group

Note: Requirements. White labeling

• Trey Research will provide and maintain a 'Compare to' price for customers to use to compare the white-labeled products. This Compare to price will also be the default item price for the customer if the customer accidentally lets a contract price expire.

Price Group

In Microsoft Dynamics AX, price groups can be used to specify a set of prices that you want apply to a group of customers, vendors, or items.

* For item transactions, prices are derived from price groups that are referenced in trade agreements in the Sales and marketing module.

Box 2: Trade allowance

Note: Customers are categorized into four pricing tiers (A, B, C, and D) based on sales volume over the past 12 months.

Promotional fund and Trade allowance agreement

A trade allowance agreement is an incentive program where pay-for-performance monetary rewards are offered to customers that achieve specific volume targets and/or behavioral goals. Promotional funds are budgeted expenditures. In that way, the promotional campaigns can be captured.

Box 3: Price Group

Box 1: Owner tracking dimensions

Requirements. White labeling

• Trey Research wants to start white labeling its products under the brands of major nutritional retail store brands. These products would only be sold to specific customers.

• Trey Research will provide and maintain a 'Compare to' price for customers to use to compare the white-labeled products. This Compare to price will also be the default item price for the customer if the customer accidentally lets a contract price expire.

• The configuration of these restrictions must be applied automatically when creating new products for those customers.

The tracking dimension is a lower-level assortment of products, irrespective of whether it is a serial number for electronic inventory items or a batch number.

Box 2: Released product

To change the Tracking Dimension Group for Products in Dynamics Operations, you need to change settings on both on the product level and the released product level. However, you need to delete the tracking dimension group at the product level prior to making changes to the corresponding released product.
