   Background

   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, Hungary

   Most 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 Vendor C. 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.

   Background

   Best for You Organics Company started as a home-based business. The founders began making handmade soaps and bath products in their kitchen. As sales increased, the business established a production facility and distribution center that supplies three retail stores.

   Soaps and bath products are manufactured in the production facility and are stocked in the warehouse for distribution to the retail stores. Employees at retail stores use mobile point of sale (MPOS) tablet devices to sell the products to customers.

   The company structure is a single legal entity with two sites as shown in the diagram below:

   

   Current environment

   Best for You Organics plans to introduce a new product line of face creams. Each product in the new line uses the same base ingredients but includes a different extract (for example, lime, avocado, kiwi). The marketing department is preparing to introduce the new product line. Minimal inventory will be held in the warehouse.

   The company uses a cloud-based deployment of Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management to manage finances for all company operations and locations. The company does not use Bill of Materials (BOM) versioning.

   The production and warehouse facility is set up with the following organizational hierarchy:

   

   External customers include:

   – Set up the system configuration to allow for store transfers.
   – Set up the system so that products may be shipped to the retail stores as bulk orders.
   – Set up the transport providers to deliver products from the warehouse to the retails stores.

   Requirements. Reporting

   Once the new products are available in stores, review 30 days of historical sales data from day-to-day transactions will determine the reorder quantities.

   Set up reporting to allow the product line to be costed and tracked independent of other items.

   Requirements. Pricing and inventory

   You identify the following requirements related to pricing and inventory:

   – Determine the quantity of the new products that can be produced and ready for sale within the first 90 days. Ensure that specialty packaging is on hand for retail sales. The packaging must be shipped directly to the stores from the vendor.
