Question
You are setting up Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management for a client.
The client plans to add several items to the Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management system.
You are required to ensure that the client can configure the items as either company owned or consignment when the client creates the items.
Which two of the following actions should you take?
NOTE: Each correct answer is worth one point.
- A. You should enable batch dimension.
- B. You should enable owner dimension. Correct
- C. You should allocate a moving average costing inventory model.
- D. You should allocate a standard costing inventory model. Correct
Explanation
Items used in consignment must be associated with a tracking dimension group in which the Owner dimension is active. The Owner dimension separates the inventory the vendor owns from the inventory the legal entity owns, so the same item can be held as company-owned or as consignment stock. The second action is to assign a standard cost inventory model in the item model group. With standard cost, the item's value is fixed in advance, so when the inventory ownership change journal takes consignment stock over from the vendor, the receipt into company-owned inventory is valued at a known cost. The batch dimension tracks lots and has nothing to do with ownership.
