Question

Drag and Drop Question A company distributes products. The company produces some of the products it distributes. The company needs to move from manual to automatic inventory reservations. You need to set up automatic reservations. Which parameters should you select? To answer, drag the appropriate parameters to the correct reservation policies. Each parameter may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Explanation

Automatic Inventory Reservations in D365 Supply Chain Management

This question is from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management and tests knowledge of where automatic reservation settings are configured across the system.

Context

The company both distributes and produces goods, so automatic reservations must be configured in multiple places - one for each operational context. Each parameter maps to a distinct reservation policy.

Why This Arrangement Is Correct

1. Item Model Group

Where: Inventory Management > Setup > Inventory > Item model groups
Why: The Item Model Group contains the core Reservation field (options: Manual, Automatic, Explosion). Setting this to Automatic ensures inventory is reserved immediately when a demand line (e.g., a sales order) is created. This is the primary control for distribution scenarios - without changing this setting, no automatic reservation occurs regardless of other configuration.

2. Inventory and Warehouse Management

Where: Inventory Management > Setup > Inventory and warehouse management parameters
Why: These module-level parameters govern how reservations behave across all inventory transactions. This setting complements the Item Model Group by defining system-wide reservation behavior for warehouse and inventory operations - covering the broader distribution/stocking side of the business.

3. Production

Where: Production Control > Setup > Production control parameters
Why: Since the company also manufactures goods, raw materials and components need to be automatically reserved for production orders. The Production parameters contain settings that control when and how BOM components are reserved, separate from the sales/distribution reservation flow.

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Why It's Wrong
Thinking Item Model Group alone is sufficient	Production reservations require a separate Production parameter configuration
Skipping Inventory and Warehouse Management	Module-level parameters must align with item-level settings or reservations may not trigger consistently
Configuring Production parameters for distributed items	Production parameters apply to manufactured input materials, not to finished goods sold on sales orders

Summary

The three-part arrangement reflects the three operational layers of the company: item policy (Item Model Group), inventory operations (Inventory and Warehouse Management), and manufacturing (Production). All three must be set to enable fully automatic reservations across both distribution and production workflows.
