Question

Drag and Drop Question A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management with basic warehouse processes. Mobile devices are not used in the two warehouses. Warehouse items that have an A classification are counted weekly through automatic cycle count journals that are created per warehouse. Items that are in both warehouses appear only in one journal for counting. Counts are inaccurate because picking is posted against items that are being counted. You need to resolve the cycle count issues. To answer, drag the appropriate configurations to the correct requirements. Each configuration 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

Drag-and-Drop Explanation: Dynamics 365 SCM Cycle Count Issues

There are two distinct problems to solve, each mapped to one configuration:

Problem 1 → Warehouse Item Setup

The issue: Items in both warehouses appear in only one cycle count journal instead of one per warehouse.

Why this fix: In D365 SCM, automatic cycle count journals are generated based on warehouse item setup records. This configuration ties a specific item to a specific warehouse for counting purposes. If an item lacks a warehouse item setup entry for both warehouses, the cycle count plan has no basis to generate a journal for the second warehouse - so it only appears once. Creating warehouse item setup records for each item in each warehouse ensures both warehouses generate their own count journal entries for shared items.

Problem 2 → Lock Items During Count

The issue: Picks are being posted against items while they are actively being counted, causing count inaccuracies.

Why this fix: The Lock items during count setting (found on the cycle counting parameters/warehouse setup) prevents inventory transactions - including picks, receipts, and adjustments - from being processed against an item while an open count journal line exists for it. This eliminates the race condition between counting and picking.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

OptionWhy it doesn't fit
Cycle count thresholdsControls when items trigger a new count (based on quantity deviation), not which warehouse generates the journal or transaction locking.
Inventory blockingA manual, ad-hoc block on inventory - not integrated with cycle count journals and requires manual intervention per item.

Common Misconceptions

  • "Inventory blocking" seems like it would stop picks - it would, but it's not automated and not tied to the count journal lifecycle. It's a manual tool, not a cycle count setting.
  • "Cycle count thresholds" sounds like it controls journals - thresholds trigger when to count, not where or how journals are scoped per warehouse.
  • The two problems are independent - resist the urge to apply one fix to both issues.
