[All PL-400 Questions]

A manufacturing company uses a Common Data Service (CDS) environment to manage their parts inventory across two warehouses modeled as business units and named WH1 and WH2.
Data from the two warehouses is processed separately for each part that has its inventory quantities updates. The company must automate this process, pushing inventory updates from orders submitted to the warehouses.
You need to build the automation using Power Automate flows against the CDS database. You must achieve this goal by using the least amount of administrative effort.
Which flow or flows should you recommend?

  • A. Two automated flows with scope Business Unit, with triggers on Create/Update/Delete on orders.
  • B. Two automated flows with scope Business Unit, with triggers on Create/Update/Delete and each flow filtering updates from each business unit.
  • C. Two scheduled flows, each querying and updating the parts included in orders from each business unit.
  • D. One scheduled flow, querying the parts included in orders in both business units.
  • E. One automated flow, querying the orders in both business units.
  • F. Two scheduled flows, each querying the orders from each business unit.
  • G. Two automated flows with scope Organization, with triggers on Create/Update/Delete and filters on WH1 and WH2.
  • H. Two automated flow with scope Business Unit, with triggers on Create/Update/Delete on orders and filters on WH1 and WH2.

It should be E. although the answer is poorly worded, eg doesn't explain how the flow gets triggered or what it's supposed to do. having 1 flow is the least administrative option. I'm yet to see need to split into two separate flows, at the end of the day it's just to update inventory quantities, no specific logics required for each warehouses. Even with assuming there are specific logics required for WH1 and WH2, it can be handled by using Condition.

E is correct. It doesn't matter from which BU the sale created, a single point WH is serving the both BU. Actually the BU doesn't matter all.

G Having one flow doesn't make it less work. You will need specific conditions determining the source while at the business unit scope, we already have the source. It is maybe not scalable, but it is definitely the least amount of work

H is correct, The scope criteria works on the Power Automate owner(s) security profile or on the User security profile invoked On behalf of Power Automate owner. In any case the flow are two, so there isn’t issue about scope limits, you can set two different “service” users that belong to different BU: WH1 the first, WH2 the second. Now you can ensure that the data come from the correct BU using filtering actions.

H specifies scope of Business Unit. Therefore, one flow sees only WH1, and the other sees only WH2. Filters seem unnecessary.

Precisely - that's why the aswwer is A. A is the same as H but without the filtering!

Selected Answer: E
This is a very poorly worded question. Multiple answers can work but some of them need something extra: A. This can only work if the two flows are created by two different users that belong to each of the business units. "The flow will trigger if any user within the same business unit as the flow owner makes the change" C. This could work but it doesn't make sense to limit the orders for each BU for then querying them again. (It is redundant) E. With the current information, this should be the answer. A single flow (less work than 2, although requires extra config) that gets triggered by orders from both business units, but it queries the orders for each one of them to process them separately. G. This is pretty similar to E, but the logic for processing orders for each business units is separated in two different flows. The flows would look pretty much the same, so I guess it is more work than having a single flow.

Scope BU is right, so A and H. Filter on BU is not easy and not necessary, so answer should be A.

A/H - These are correct but "Filters are not necessary" if you are setting the Automated flow to with scope Business Unit, so the A is the easiest to set.

H sounds good, except filters are not necessary: one business unit uses WH1 and the other uses WH2. No other warehouses are mentioned. I vote A in this case.

IMO, data is processed separately because there was no automation. Least administrative efforts is also a requirement. So, when company would go for automating the process, there is no reason (not mentioned) why they can't achieve the automation using a single Flow.

Should be E. However, it is possible to have 2 flows - one flow for each BU with scope set to Business Unit. But I'm thinking later on when they increase in number of warehouses? Are we gonna create another flow and also another BU service user each time ?

Answer is G. If we set both flows to trigger on 'Business Unit' it will only run for records with the same Business Unit of the owner user of the flow (and this user can belong only to WH1 or to WH2). So we need to set the scope to Organization, and use filters to set the correct WHs.

edit: triggering on 'Business Unit' would work if we create one flow with owner belonging to WH1 and the other flow with owner belonging to WH2. however question doesnt say anything about that

Automated or schedule? Automated (company must automate this process) 1 flow or 2 flows? 2 flows (Data from the two warehouses is processed separately) Scope Business or Org? Business Filter or no filter? Filter(Flow 1: Trigger on Orders table with filter on WH1, Flow 2: Trigger on Orders table with filter on WH2) Answer is H

Flow 1: Trigger on Orders (it only sees WH1, no filter required). Flow 2: Trigger on Orders (it only sees WH2, no filter required).
