Question

Drag and Drop Question A distribution company is implementing freight reconciliation in Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The accounting manager requires that any freight invoices that cannot be automatically matched must post the difference to a specific ledger account. You need to set up the freight reconciliation. What should you configure? To answer, move the appropriate configurations to the correct requirements. You may use each configuration once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to move the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Answer:

Correct arrangement

  • Audit master and freight bill type
  • Reconciliation reason

Explanation

Freight Reconciliation in D365 SCM - Explanation

The question asks what to configure so that unmatched freight invoices post differences to a specific ledger account. There are two requirements implied:

  1. Enable automatic matching (the system needs to know what to match against)
  2. Handle mismatches (route unmatched differences to a ledger account)

Item 1: Audit Master and Freight Bill Type

Why it goes here: The Audit Master is the core configuration object in freight reconciliation. It defines:

  • Which carrier/vendor is being reconciled
  • Which freight bill type to use (grouping/matching rules)
  • The matching logic that determines when an invoice can be auto-matched

Without an audit master, the system has no framework to attempt automatic matching at all. This is the foundational setup step - it tells D365 how to compare carrier invoices against freight charges.

Technical reason: The audit master links the freight invoice to shipment/load data and controls auto-approval thresholds.


Item 2: Reconciliation Reason

Why it goes here: A Reconciliation Reason is configured with a specific ledger account. When the system cannot automatically match a freight invoice (difference exceeds tolerance or no match found), the reconciliation reason code is applied - and it drives the posting of the variance to that designated ledger account.

Technical reason: In D365 SCM, each reconciliation reason has a financial dimension/ledger account attached. This is the direct mechanism by which the accounting manager's requirement - post differences to a specific ledger account - is fulfilled.


Why the Other Items Don't Apply

ItemWhy excluded
Load building workbenchUsed for planning and consolidating loads/shipments - part of transportation planning, not freight invoice reconciliation
Route plansUsed to define transportation routes for planning purposes - unrelated to invoice matching or GL posting

Common Misconceptions

  • Confusing route plans with reconciliation: Route plans are pre-shipment planning tools; they have no role in post-delivery invoice reconciliation.
  • Skipping the audit master: Some assume the reconciliation reason alone is sufficient. It isn't - without the audit master, there's no matching process to trigger the reason code in the first place.
  • Thinking "reconciliation reason" is just a label: It's not cosmetic - it carries the GL account that drives the financial posting.

In short: Audit master + freight bill type = how to match; Reconciliation reason = where to post when it doesn't match.
