Question
Drag and Drop Question A manufacturing company uses Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. The shop floor has multiple pieces of the same model of equipment. The equipment produces a finished good that requires special handling. The equipment has a visual guide available. The shop floor manager requires the following:
- The most recent visual guide must be available for all pieces of the
equipment at the same time.
- The shop floor workers must have a visual guide available for
handling of the finished good. You need to configure the visual guides to meet the shop floor requirements. What should you configure for each requirement? To answer, drag the appropriate features to the correct requirements. Each feature 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
D365 SCM Visual Guides - Exam Question Explained
Context
In Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, visual guides (often via the Dynamics 365 Guides integration) can be associated at different configuration levels. The question tests whether you know which level to configure for each scenario.
Correct Arrangement Breakdown
Requirement 1: "Most recent visual guide available for all pieces of equipment at the same time"
Answer: Scheduling parameters
Multiple machines of the same model are modeled in D365 SCM as resources within a resource group. Resource groups are a scheduling concept - they represent a pool of interchangeable capacity.
When you associate a visual guide with a resource group (configured via Scheduling parameters), the guide propagates to all resources in that group simultaneously. You update the guide once; every machine inherits it immediately.
If you configured guides at the individual resource level instead, you'd have to update each machine separately - violating the "at the same time" requirement.
Requirement 2: "Visual guide available for handling of the finished good"
Answer: Sites
The finished good requires special handling, which is a location-based operational concern. In D365 SCM, a site represents a physical location where production and inventory operations occur.
Configuring the visual guide at the site level ensures that workers at that physical location see the correct handling guide for items produced there. This scopes the guide to where the handling actually happens, regardless of which specific machine produced the item.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
| Option | Why It's Incorrect |
|---|---|
| Production control parameters | Controls general production behavior (journals, reporting), not guide assignment to resources or items |
| Inventory and warehouse management parameters | Governs warehouse processes broadly - not the targeted mechanism for associating visual guides with finished good handling at the shop floor level |
Common Misconceptions
- "I'd use Production control parameters for equipment guides" - Equipment scheduling/grouping lives in scheduling parameters, not production control parameters.
- "Inventory parameters should handle the finished good" - "Handling" here means shop-floor handling at a site, not a warehouse management operation.
- "I should configure guides per machine individually" - That defeats the "all at the same time" requirement; resource groups (scheduling) are the right scope.
