Drag and Drop Question A company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. A planner observes that an item has last-minute orders placed. These orders drive new demand that is dependent upon POs arriving on schedule. The planner determines the vendor is inconsistent with turnaround time. You need to configure the system to adjust for the vendor turnaround and add a buffer of two days prior to reordering product. What should you configure for each requirement? 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:

Question

Accepted Answer

Lead time; Positive days

Misconception	Reality
Using Negative days for the buffer	Negative days looks backward - it allows a late-arriving receipt to cover past-due demand. It doesn't add a forward buffer before reordering.
Using Coverage time fence	This defines the planning horizon (how far out MRP looks), not a reorder buffer or lead time adjustment.
Confusing lead time with positive days	Lead time = how long delivery takes; Positive days = tolerance window before generating a new order. They solve different problems.

Requirement	Configuration
Vendor inconsistent with turnaround time	Lead Time
Buffer of 2 days before reordering	Positive Days
