Actual exam question from Microsoft's MB-330

Question #: 28
Topic #: 5

You are the logistics manager at a distribution company.
Your primary carrier service provides rates for transportation between New York City and Colorado. These rates are a flat rate depending on the city or general area of pickup as follows:
✑ New York City = $500
✑ Colorado = $450
You need to set up Transportation Management to calculate the rate from New York City to Colorado.
What should you do?

A. Set up zones in the Zone Master for New York City and Colorado. Assign rates to each zone in the Zone Master by starting and ending location.
B. Using the Point-to-Point engine with an empty break master, assign rates based on starting and ending locations.
C. Create a Point-to-Point based Rate Master with the rates broken out by pieces.
D. Create a Shipping carrier and service. Create carrier accessorial charges to represent the rates for each location.

Selected Answer: A

why not B? The Point-to-Point engine calculates rates based on specific origin-destination pairs (e.g., NYC to Denver). However, the scenario specifies rates based solely on the pickup location, not the pair. An "empty break master" implies no rate tiers (e.g., by weight or distance), which could work for flat rates, but Point-to-Point is overly specific for this case—it’s designed for detailed pair-based rates, not origin-only flat rates.

Selected Answer: B

Gesendet von Copilot: To set up Transportation Management to calculate the rate from New York City to Colorado, you should: B. Using the Point-to-Point engine with an empty break master, assign rates based on starting and ending locations. This approach allows you to define specific rates for transportation between two points, in this case, New York City and Colorado, without needing to break the rates down by pieces or other criteria1.
