Question #: 26
Topic #: 5

You are the inventory manager at a large distribution company.
You notice item P0001 has been running out regularly and the on-hand count seems to differ from what is in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. You want cycle count work to be automatically created when the quantity drops below 10 pieces, which is about once a week.
You need to appropriately configure warehouse management to generate cycle count work.
What should you do?

A. Create a cycle count plan for item P0001 to run when the quantity is below 10.
B. Create a cycle count threshold that is percentage based that will generate work when inventory drops below 10% for item P0001.
C. Create a cycle count threshold that is quantity based and specify 10 for the quantity. Add P0001 as a selected item.
D. Create a cycle count plan for item P0001. Generate a batch job that runs once a week.

c is the coorect one . Automatically create cycle counting work There are two ways to schedule recurring creation of cycle counting work: set up cycle counting thresholds or set up cycle counting plans. A cycle counting threshold indicates the quantity or percentage limit of inventory items. Cycle counting work is automatically created when the threshold limit is reached. A cycle counting plan creates cycle counting work either immediately or periodically through a batch job. When cycle counting work is created, the counting work line includes information about the location to count. The on-hand inventory that is associated with this location isn't blocked, and is therefore available for reservation and outbound processing, even though open counting work exists.

D is most appropriate as it happens about a week time as mentioned. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/supply-chain/warehousing/cycle-counting

I believe C is the correct answer, and the main condition is the quantity. The mentioning "once a week" is not requirement as it might not occur at all, but they we need to monitor the threshold.

The quantity threshold is what is key here. If you use a counting plan that runs every week, there can possibly be a week where the quantity will not be below 10. However, using a counting threshold of 10 really makes sure the cycle counting is performed when the quantity is below 10. It is the most efficient solution I think. C is the best answer
