Drag and Drop Question A company has manufacturing sites that process different types of production orders using highly specialized equipment. Released production orders have been processing for an excessive amount of time while the system tries to find a variable route that conforms to the constraints specified in the system. The system must automatically time out if a viable solution is not found after 120 seconds. You need to configure the automatic timeout. Which form should you use for each configuration? To answer, drag the appropriate forms to the correct configurations. Each form 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
Explanation: Configuring Automatic Scheduling Timeout in D365 Supply Chain Management
Context
In Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, when the system attempts to find a variable route for a production order, the scheduling engine iterates through route constraints. If the site has complex, specialized equipment, this search can run indefinitely. The 120-second timeout must be configured at two levels.
Why This Two-Level Configuration?
| # | Configuration Task | Form to Use |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Set the global default timeout for the scheduling engine | Scheduling parameters |
| 2 | Apply/override the timeout at the individual site level | Sites |
Item-by-Item Breakdown
1. Scheduling parameters (global level)
- Found at:
Production control > Setup > Scheduling > Scheduling parameters - This form controls how the scheduling engine behaves across the entire system.
- It contains the field for the finite scheduling timeout - the maximum number of seconds the engine will search for a valid route before stopping.
- This is where you set the 120-second limit as the system-wide default.
2. Sites (site-specific override)
- Found at:
Inventory management > Setup > Inventory breakdown > Sites - Because the question specifies the company has multiple manufacturing sites with different specialized equipment, the timeout behavior may need to differ per site.
- The Sites form allows scheduling parameter overrides at the site level, enabling granular control rather than a single global value.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
- Production control parameters - Controls broader production settings (status management, reservations, etc.), not scheduling engine timeout behavior.
- Inventory and warehouse management parameters - Entirely unrelated; governs warehouse and inventory operations, not route scheduling.
Common Mistakes
- Configuring only one location: Candidates often set the timeout only in Scheduling parameters and miss that site-level configuration is required when the scenario explicitly mentions multiple sites.
- Choosing Production control parameters: It sounds plausible, but it does not contain scheduling timeout settings.
- Assuming Sites is unnecessary: The mention of "highly specialized equipment" per site is the hint that a site-level override is needed, not just a global default.
