Wide World Importers is a distribution company whose primary customers are small boutique shops which sell globally-sourced products including unique or hand-crafted items such as perfumes and ceramicware. Through the Wide World Importers sales cycle, the commission-based sales team identifies opportunities and negotiates with shops by using a quoting process. The products may or may not already exist in the company’s current product list.
The company has the following divisions and areas of responsibility:
Current environment
Wide World Importers use Dynamics 365 Finance and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. There is a single legal entity.
The primary distribution center for the company is located in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. There is an additional warehouse in California which receives imported goods from container ships. When goods are received in California, the goods are transferred to Nevada for distribution. No orders are shipped directly from California.
Requirements. Sales
The company has two teams of sales representatives: East and West. Each team has one representative for each of the following categories of goods: perfumes, ceramicware, and all other goods. Sales representatives are paid commissions based on sales. Commissions must be paid based on the home office location for customers. For example, commission for a customer that is headquartered in the Western United States is paid to the West group of sales representatives.
Sales representatives are responsible for driving new business. Company executives must be able to see metrics that define the companies that the sales representatives are targeting, where there is potential to do business, and where quotes are being generated. Customer records must not be created until a sale is confirmed.
The sales team quoted a new perfume for a customer named Customer1. The customer has shipping locations in the following regions: United States, Austria, and Japan. Sales must only be made to the US and Japan due to product ingredients. Automated checks must be put into place so that users do not have to remember to select the correct item.
Requirements. Testing
The company periodically performs testing on ceramicware as it is received to determine whether the products contain lead. The company labels and markets ceramicware as Lead Free or Not for food use. Perfumes may contain restricted ingredients that cannot be sold to customers in the European Union. The company performs testing on perfumes and has processes to ensure that perfumes containing restricted ingredients are not sold to customers in Europe.
Ten percent of all ceramicware items received must be tested for lead. The process for managing testing must be automated. There must be tolerances setup that define the acceptable amount of lead levels in a product.
Requirements. Inventory management
The inventory team must control costing of items by using FIFO principles. The finance team must be able to see updated FIFO adjustments throughout the month but will only settle FIFO for month-end reporting.
Inventory close must be run at the end of each month. A report must be provided to the finance team that includes the physical quantities and inventory value for items, with totals at the bottom. The warehouse team needs a similar report but does not want the inventory value included. During inventory close, some items cannot be fully costed because the issue cannot be settled against the receipt. The finance team must know which items were excluded.
Other inventory requirements
– Inventory must be reserved against physical inventory.
– Items must be grouped so that the inventory costing can posted to the ledger by using the following groups: perfumes, ceramicware, other goods. All goods are FIFO. Financial reports must be grouped by these three categories, even though transactions from all categories post to the same ledger accounts.
– Wide World Importers plans to import a specific type of pottery from a local company in Mexico that handmakes the goods. The pottery must be available in orange or red colors. The cost is the same regardless of the color selection.
– A new line of perfumes is being introduced. The procurement team must be able to identify which perfumes are men’s or women’s fragrances, and must be able to further categorize perfumes as Perfume, Eau de Perfume, Eau de Toilette, Eau de Cologne, or Eau Fraiche.
– You must set up a structure of products for classifying each item for purchase, sales, and reporting analysis.Issue
Customer service representatives report that some inventory shows as ordered reserved when the ordered reserved parameter is turned off.
An item that is typically carried is out of stock. A customer named Customer2 wants to place a special rush order for the item. This will result in a significantly increased cost from the supplier. The finance team does not want to have this special order affect the FIFO tiers.
-
You need to configure the system to support the inventory costing requirement.
Which two actions should you perform? Each answer represents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- one default item group for all items
- one item group each for perfume, ceramicware, and other goods
- one FIFO item model group and one Standard item model group
- one FIFO item group
- one financial dimension for each item group
-
You need to configure the structure for the new line of perfumes.
What should you do first?
- Create a procurement category hierarchy.
- Create a new product with tracking dimensions.
- Create a new product with storage dimensions.
- Create product configurations.
- Set up a new product master and implement serial tracking.
-
You need to address the inventory costing requirements.
What are two possible ways to achieve the goal? Each answer represents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- Use FIFO with marking.
- Create purchase orders from sales orders.
- Set up commodity pricing.
- Create a costing version.
- Set up a costing sheet.
-
You need to configure the system to support the pottery line.

Adventure Works Cycles builds stock and custom mountain bikes and is headquartered in San Diego. It has the following assembly and warehouse locations:
– Denver, Colorado, United States
– San Diego, California, United States
– Budapest, HungaryMost manufacturing is outsourced, with each facility only assembling the bikes. Parts are stocked at all facilities and may be transferred between warehouses or legal entities. All of the parts are at standard cost.
Current environment. Organizational structure
The following diagram shows the structure of Adventure Works Cycles.
– Each of the physical locations in the United States (US) is a warehouse.
– Hungary assembles and distributes products to the rest of the European Union (EU).
– The EU legal entity is expected to add additional warehouse locations.
– All legal entities roll up to a financial consolidation company.Current environment. Purchasing
– Higher quality tires that are used in new orders have become popular. Due to the volume of orders, the company wants to negotiate pricing with VendorC. The vendor agrees to a discounted price for 500 tires purchased within the next six months. Once the 500 tires have been purchased, the discount will be re-evaluated based on demand.
– Once a purchase is approved, for audit purposes it cannot be changed.
– Whenever possible, parts are purchased from vendors also within the EU. A purchase order was placed for a bike seat manufacturer in Italy.
– Parts for custom orders may not always be kept in stock and will need to be procured.Current environment. Purchase requisitions
The following flow chart depicts the purchase requisition process:
Requirements. Purchasing
– Items for purchase requisitions are governed by each country. Each of the country-specific products will be grouped together for selection.
– Purchase orders must follow the requisition process.
– All existing purchase orders for brakes must account for the change to Vendor B.Requirements. Inventory
Standard costs are based on purchase fluctuations within a single month.
Tires use floating zones due to limited warehouse space.Requirements. Operations
Due to recent brake failures, Adventure Works Cycles plans to purchase brakes from Vendor B instead of Vendor A. Although the brakes from Vendor B will continue to use the same item number as the brakes from Vendor A, the price is slightly higher from Vendor B. Adventure Works Cycles will pay list price from Vendor B. The order for Vendor B needs approval and the usual approver for purchase requisitions is on vacation.
All brakes from Vendor A that are in stock must be tested. The process for brake testing must be implemented for all inbound orders. Quality orders must be automatically created upon receipt of the first shipment against a purchase order only. Inventory stocking locations must be consolidated after the brakes are tested.
User C needs to consolidate brake inventory after it has been cleared for sale.
Ordering of the new brakes order will incur an additional cost because it is a rush order.
Requirements. Custom orders
– Custom orders are placed for items that do not exist in the item master.
– Hungary does not process custom orders.
– The United States does process custom paint orders. Most custom paint colors are special order and require purchase requisitions.
– Quotes must be obtained from a minimum of two suppliers per company policy and compared for the shipping, costs, and other variables. Quotes will not be selected based on lowest price only.Issues
– A special order for 2.6 high-end tires is received. This item is no longer in stock from the current vendor.
– Goods have been received in stock, but the matching invoice has not yet been received at the time of month close.
– User A needs to set up pricing for the items purchased from Vendor C and ensure that accounting validates the receipt and invoice against the agreement.
– User B needs to send out a request for quotation (RFQ) for custom paint. The vendor will be selected based on pricing, volume discounts, and lead time.-
